When my girl started daycare earlier in the year, I was thinking of ways to keep her stuff from getting mixed up with the other children's. I remember years back when I was a daycare assistant, it was a constant struggle to make sure that all the children are going home with the correct lunch bags, shoes, even jackets.
I could have written her name on her clothes, but they will just erased after a few washes. And it can be pretty tiring to write her name and information over and over again.
I found the solution in Oliver's Labels, a Canadian company that makes high quality labels. I received a package with the original labels, shoe labels, and Stick-eez™ labels (new no-iron, no-sew clothing labels).
Right away, I put them on her bottles, shoes and jackets. To test them, I put her bottles in the dishwasher, I also washed them by hand. They are still on the bottle and the design has not been damaged. The same goes for the Stick-eez™ labels. After a few trips in the washing machine, they are still stuck on her clothes.
Another feature that I like is their Found-it™ Tracking System. It is their exclusive, free online lost-and-found system. When you order your labels, you can choose to have a tracking code printed on them, this will be connected to an email address you provide. This means you don't have to put personal information other than your child's name for strangers to see. If you lose an item with a tracking code, the finder will be prompted to go to a website with instructions to enter the code on the label. Oliver's Labels will then send you a notification email right away. Assuming that everyone does have access to the internet, this is a great tool.
The labels can be purchased through their website: Oliver's Labels. You can shop by product, by design or by prearranged packages.
