School Clothing Labels Should be One of Your “Back to School” Staples

A recent trip to a Wal-Mart in Woodland, Colorado made me realize how soon the summer break will be over.  It was hard to miss the huge yellow cartons of pencils, filler paper, glue sticks and more.  But there is one important back-to-school item that cannot be found at your local Wal-Mart – school clothing labels.  No, I’m not talking about those blank sew-on labels that are often accompanied by a waterproof marker.  The school clothing labels I’m referring to are the kinds that come in rolls of preprinted clothing name tape, or self-adhesive pre-printed labels.   There are many different ways to purchase these, but the best place to find them is at BestNameTape.com.

If your kids have a tendency to lose things, then it won’t matter how much money you spend at Wal-Mart on school supplies, or at the trendy “tween” clothing stores on sweatshirts.  Even their shoes are up for grabs when they’re made by certain labels.  Without a doubt, purchasing school clothing labels should be at the top of your list for this coming season.  Some parents have become a lot more creative with how these labels are used. 

If you want to keep an older student organized, whether they are in high school or away at college, school clothing labels can be used on many of their commonly used items.  For example, try using them on lunchboxes, water bottles, backpacks and glass cases.  Put them on the inside of every school book and on those pricey graphing calculators.  They are even worth sticking onto sporting equipment and cheerleading uniforms, and on instrument cases and duffel bags.  If you’ve ever taken a close look at the average school’s “Lost and Found”, you would be surprised at the number of things kids misplace, and some of them are never claimed.

You may be thinking to yourself, “if someone really wants to steal something, can’t they just remove the school clothing label?  Well sure, I guess they could, but the campus police at my son’s college recently pointed out that seeing a person’s name, address and phone number is often enough to prevent someone from casually “stealing” an item that is left at a party or in the school library.  The labels are actually sticky enough to make it very difficult to remove them, which means a thief would really have to want the item enough to make the effort.
