Kids too cool for name labels

Question:

My child think's they're too old to have their name on their water bottle, but would like a way of easily identifying their bottle from their peers look alike bottles. (We still have some classic stickies with their name on them.)

Any thoughts?

Answer:

Simply cut the icon off the classic stickies you own. (Be sure to round the corners for longer lasting wear.) Decorate bottle as desired.

Also works with skinny-minis™.

Bonus answer:

If you have children with sibling-germ-a-phobia (as in, "Ewww, I don't want to drink from the bottle top if he's used it before, even though it's been thoroughly washed") consider taking a thin slice of the same colour label and using it to match bottles to bottle lids.

Preparing for camp

Summer camp is just around the corner! What do you need to know to get your kids ready?

Mabel's Labels has a Guide to Packing for Camp (link to PDF version at bottom of page of Mabel's site).

To ensure your kids return home with all the gear they bring, get yourself a "camp/school pack" of labels! From Mabel's website:

The Camp/School Pack has all the labels you need for summer camp or school. This combo is a substantial savings, compared to buying each label type individually.

$34.00 for a pack of 15 Sticky Labels, 40 Iron-Ons or 50 Tag Mates™, 8 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags.

Dishwasher/microwave-safe and UV resistant. Clothing labels are laundry safe.

And lastly, here's a clip of Julie Cole, Mabel's Labels VP and mother of six* discussing how to be prepared for the first day of camp. [Aired May 24, 2007 on CityTV's Breakfast Television.]



* she had another baby since this interview originally aired.

I need more than 20 characters on my labels!

Question:

My daughter's name is more than 20 characters long. Can we get labels with her full name on them? Or are we stuck using her initial and our family name?

Short Answer:

It depends on the label and how many extra characters you need.

Long Answer:

Give customer service a call at 1-866-306-2235 during business hours and discuss your needs with them. Typically they are able to accomodate requests for an additional character or two.

Bonus tip:

Want to include a phone number on your labels?

It's possible!

Contact customer service at 1-866-306-2235 during business hours and they'll do their best to meet your needs!
