In half a month, the new students in the kindergarten will enter the kindergarten. The group mother would like to ask the new parents, are you ready with the vaccination certificate, physical examination report, inch photos, and name stickers that are necessary for your child to go to kindergarten?

Especially small items like name stickers are indispensable daily necessities for children in kindergarten. After all, there are about 20 children in a class, and it is easy to mix up their own things accidentally. , so putting names on children’s own items can not only prevent them from taking them by mistake, but also improve children’s ability to manage their own items.

However, there are so many name stickers to choose from, which one is the most practical? With things made of different materials, what kind of name stickers should you choose? Group Mom is here to chat with you in this issue!

Name sticker categories: hot-stamped name stickers, hand-sewn cloth name stickers, name stickers with tags, rope buckle name stickers, waterproof sticker name stickers, sewing-free buckle name stickers, name seals, leather name stickers Stickers, homemade name stickers

This is what the group mom found. Almost all types of name stickers can be simply classified into categories: printed, sewn, pasted, hanging, and homemade. Which one? The best kind? What kind of scenarios are they suitable for? Let’s take a look at each one!

Products of this type all use the name to be written or printed directly on the clothing. The principle is the same, so that the name cannot be washed off.

This kind of marker pen is also called a textile pen. It is a pen that can write on textile items without washing off the marks. It is affordable and comes in a variety of colors. However, after consulting many parents, Tuanma did not recommend the use of this kind of pen. Firstly, not every parent can write beautiful words, and secondly, writing directly on clothes will affect the beauty of the clothes and not look good.

In contrast, more parents buy seals. The seal can customize the name font, and you can also choose to have a small pattern in front of the name. At least from an aesthetic point of view, it is slightly better than a marker.

A colleague of Tuanma bought this kind of seal for her son. After putting it on the child's clothes, it did not smudge or bleed, and it did not fade after washing. However, because the seal needs to be used with printing ink, my colleagues were a little worried about the printing ink, so they only used the seal to print names on the children's kindergarten quilts, and did not use this kind of seal on underwear.

Tarpaulin stickers and paper name stickers are the most popular ones chosen by parents because they are very convenient and can be used in many scenarios. You can put them on anything you want to mark your name on. Tuan Ma checked it out on a certain website and found that the cheapest kind of paper stickers costs about 6 yuan and you can buy 60 pieces.

However, if the paper stickers are applied for too long, the stickiness will not be very good, and they may even deglue on their own, so they are more suitable for one-time pasting. The more troublesome thing about cloth patches is that they need to be ironed before they can be firmly attached to clothing, because there is glue on the back of the cloth patches and they need to be heated before they can be pasted. Of course, you can also choose to sew them by hand.

There is also hot stamping type, which needs to be ironed just like cloth stickers, but what is better than cloth stickers is that its pattern is transparent, and after ironing, it will look like the printing on your own clothes. Same. Although it is a little troublesome, it is relatively washable, and there are many cute picture styles to choose from.

The most recommended thing for these three types of group moms is hot stamping stickers, which are both beautiful and practical. Although paper stickers are very convenient, they are more suitable for one-time pasting and can be bought at home. .

You can find many cute types of cloth name stickers on certain items. Some are just like a small patch, and some are more like the ingredient labels that come with our clothes. It is more convenient to use and can also play a certain decorative role on children's clothes and quilts. However, this type of name sticker requires parents to sew it on themselves, which still tests the parents' needlework skills.

However, there is a type of leather name stickers that will save many parents from the trouble of not knowing how to sew. Because there are many small holes in the leather labels, parents only need to sew them on clothes, pants, and quilts according to the location of the holes. Although the aesthetics may be slightly worse, it is more convenient.

Another advantage of this kind of patchwork name sticker is that if it is no longer needed, it can be cut directly from the clothing without causing much impact on the clothing itself. It is still worth recommending.

Tuan Ma suggests that if parents want to sew by hand, try to sew on the outside or at the corners of the clothes. If sewed on the inside, it will easily rub against the children's skin and cause discomfort.

There are two types of name stickers on the buckle type, one is the small name sticker and the other is the rope buckle name sticker. The hanging tag type is more suitable for school bags and can be hung on the handle of the school bag; the rope buckle type has more use scenarios and can be used for shoes, school bags, water bottles, etc.

Rope buckle type name stickers are also very convenient to use. They can be hung directly on the laces of shoes or on the heels of shoes. Although they are relatively small, they can be distinguished from other children's shoes at a glance. The rope can also be matched differently according to the color of the shoes. If it is a schoolbag, you can hang it in the zipper hole. If it is a kettle, you can hang it on the kettle's rope. Generally speaking, the practicality is greater than that of name stickers.

For parents who need name stickers on their shoes, you can choose rope buckles.

When group moms were collecting useful kindergarten name stickers in their circle of friends, a friend told me that she printed them at home and also offered me this "brother label machine".

A friend said that this label printer uses thermal transfer printing technology. The printed labels can remain unchanged for a long time. The text on the label can also be stored for a long time without fading and will not fade due to frequent use. Washing may cause deformation, discoloration, etc. At the same time, this label printer can also use ribbons, cloth, and strong adhesive film materials for printing. You only need to replace the ribbon inside the machine.

Ribbon labels can be tied to children’s schoolbags like tethers; cloth iron-on labels are actually based on the same principle as the cloth name stickers mentioned above. After printing, they can be You need to use an iron to iron on clothes, pants, and quilts; while the strong-adhesive laminated labels are similar to the paper stickers above and are suitable for anything that needs to be affixed and can be affixed. In the words of a friend: "One machine can handle all the name stickers for my son's kindergarten, and the printed items are safe."

A friend washes his son's quilt once a week and has been using a large machine. It has been half a year, and the label ironed on the quilt has not faded or deformed.

Before using this label printer, you need to download an app on your mobile phone, and then set the style on the app. You can add and choose different expressions, adjust kerning, fonts, etc. Overall It can still meet some basic style needs.

"If there are a lot of things at home that need to be labeled and classified, I would actually recommend buying one and printing it yourself. It is both safe and practical. If you just need name stickers for your child's kindergarten, you should just go ahead and print them yourself. It is more convenient to buy ready-made ones online. ”

In fact, the most common name stickers on the market are printed, pasted, sewn, and hung. Mom also consulted the kindergarten teacher about the most commonly used items with name stickers and the types most commonly chosen by parents. The teacher told me that parents need to prepare name stickers for children’s underwear and quilts, while for stamps and sewing items, parents need to prepare name stickers themselves. They are the two more commonly used ones. (Each kindergarten has different needs, and the requirements of the kindergarten are the main ones)

The seal type is very convenient, just print it on directly, and parents save trouble; the sewing type is relatively troublesome, but it can be removed It’s very convenient and doesn’t cause much impact on clothes, so more parents choose it.

So, do new parents know which name sticker to choose?
