Where can I get name tags from ?

mandalay_2

I don't want this to sound stupid as its such a piddly thing but I am really struggling to get those pre-printed name tags you iron on to kids clothes etc. I would need at least 200 or so. Only shop I knew about want 60p per tag which I think is a little excessive. I've tried the cheapies you get from supermarkets and you can't even write properly on them so it becomes unreadable.

Like I said I know its a little problem but do any parents out there (or not) know where I can order them already printed up ? (Ordering via internet is even better if there are any shops like this) ?

Many thanks for help in advance

I got my kids labels from here and they have been great,particularly the shoe labels.

The ones for using on lunch box containers have also lasted really well.

It isn't cheap but there are usuallly codes floating about.

Here is one for 20% off your order: posh

Cash's are good quality - you can get them online (direct from Cash's) or they sell them in most Clarkes shoe shops (you pay clarkes and get the order form from them, fill in the required details, post it off to Cash's freepost, and get the labels back)

I use

http://www.able-labels.co.uk/productdetail.asp?CatID=7&productcatalogue=tape2

for my son's uniforms and PE stuff. No matter how many things he loses them- they always come back. They are easy to iron on- you get 50 for about £7 (this includes p & p).

Mine are just printed with our surname - that way I don't have to sew more labels on for my DS2 who always gets hand me downs!

I've used this company many times:

http://www.clivemark.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s=sldvo835316&strParents=&CAT_ID=10000&P_ID=100007

p+p is only £1 (for as many sets as you like) and worked out at 144 labels for £9.50

Shoe labels 32 pairs £9.50 (inc p+p)

Marks and Spencer do Iron on type. They print them while you wait. Think you get 50 labels for about £5.
