Labelling school uniform

the_other_mce

I use marker pen on the back of the shop labels. I also won't spend a lot of money on uniforms now after several experiences of my DD's coming home with really old cardigans, blouses,ties etc that weren't theirs and despite me returning the other kids clothes to school I never received my own kids clothes back!!!
Some parents are just dreadful.......

minilabels are excellent! I've used their stuff for the last couple of years. Every label I used before peeled off eventually but theirs are still their after a years wear.

I still have some of his labels left; am tempted to label his university gear now since most of that didn't come home either at the end of term:mad:

A fantasitc idea. Wish i had done this before i came to uni. I ended up getting a nasty nail varnish colour and putting blobs all over my stuff to claim it as mine. (Couldn't be doing with the sewing in freshers week!) Worked wonders but taghs would have been better!!!

Hi

we got our nametapes from Cash's

http://www.jjcash.co.uk/shopping-nametapes.php?PHPSESSID=cbbf228fb2545991c5c4d8ac938a50ea

Paid about £5 for about 30 name tags a few years back and am still using it.

We ordered tags with just surname on them to keep the costs down.

I saw the tags on myself and re-use them all the time.
