Name tags from Easy 2 Name

Now that I have two children at school and one at nursery I have a lot of clothes to name. My daughter has a habit of leaving her (very expensive) school cardigans laying around and it's often weeks before they find their way back to her so having their clothes labelled clearly is very important.

I've tried fabric pens which are illegible (it's not my writing, honest!) iron on labels which were soul destroying after spending hours trimming each one individually and ironing each on 3 times only for them to fall off in the wash and there was no way that I was going to attempt to get the sew on labels. I'd already wasted enough valuable time!

I resorted to using a ballpoint pen which was much quicker, even taking into account the fact I'd need to re-write the names every few weeks after it had faded. It wasn't perfect but it was the best I could come up with.

A few weeks ago I was asked on twitter for advice on labelling school uniform from a Mum on twitter. A mutual friend joined in the conversation and mentioned Easy Tags from Easy 2 Name.  

Easy Tags are small plastic buttons, etched with a name of your choice, which can then be attached to an inside label or seam using the handheld applicator.

I was sent a pack of tags to try out and review. The applicator comes with a sheet of instructions, although I'm not the brightest of people at times and can't always follow instructions but these were incredibly simple. 

I fetched Molly & Charlie's uniform for the next day and started tagging and I was amazed at how quick it was all done. 

You simply pop the tag and retainer into the applicator, put the label or seam into the opening and hold the applicator together firmly and turn the tab until you feel the tag lock into the retainer. It only takes a few turns.

The next night I whizzed through the rest of the childrens' uniform while I sat watching TV.

The labels are unobtrusive and haven't bothered the children at all. They have been washed many times and tumble dried and they're still intact.

What I really like about these tags is that they are easily removable and reusable which came in handy when we realised Molly has had a growth spurt and had grown out of two of her skirts.

I've been recommending these to everyone as I think they're brilliant! They're so easy to apply and are clear to read. There should be no lost uniform from now on ;-)

Easy 2 Name sell a huge range of labels, not just for clothing, and personalised gifts.
