As your kids get ready to head off to Summer camps, now’s the time to make sure that their clothes and belongings are clearly labeled. If you haven’t already taken steps to name your children’s summer caps or shoes, it’s not too late! There are a number of companies in Switzerland that allow you to order vinyl or textile stickers online or over the phone, with quick and sometimes free delivery to your doorstep.
Stick2it.ch is a relatively new company in the region, that was set up last year to provide a wide range of fun, colorful stickers that are particularly attractive to young children. So successful has the company been, that it has provided labels for schools in Fribourg, as well as a number of shops looking for unusual and eye-catching ways to decorate their presents or bags for clients. The company has also labeled work outfits for the "Service de l'Etat de Vaud".
Owner, Sandra Wittwer, says, “As a mother of two small children attending school and daycare, I soon came to learn how essential it was to label their clothes and belongings if there was to be any chance of them all being returned at the end of the day. However, when I discovered that it was really difficult to source any labels or stickers, I decided to set up my own company, Stick2it.ch, which opened its doors to clients for the first time last June. Stick2it.ch is a Swiss company and the high quality labels we provide are designed and printed in Switzerland.”
The www.stick2it.ch website is particularly easy to use and has a wide range of products targeted at young girls and boys, featuring colorful illustrations such as animals and cars in all shapes and sizes. Vinyl stickers can be used on many different kinds of items including cutlery, plates, pens, shoes, books, sports equipment and toys. Providing the surface on which they are applied is well cleaned and dried beforehand, the vinyl stickers will not fall off in the dishwasher or microwave. Textile stickers are particularly handy for items of clothing and, providing the instructions for use are followed, they will also withstand repeated washing and drying.
One customer, Karine, has been particular pleased with the stickers she bought from Stick2it.ch and says, “The website provides a wide range of products, with many different designs, colors and combinations possible. The quality of the stickers is excellent – they are very hard-wearing, which is a real asset since they are mainly dedicated to children. I find the vinyl stickers useful for my daughter’s toys, comforter, books, glasses, beach gear or anything she takes with her out of the house.”
She adds, “I am also a great fan of the iron-on labels, and use them on all the clothes, bags, towels, and hats that my daughter takes to the daycare. I have had a number of positive comments from the staff there, who appreciate being able to identify children’s clothing quickly - the fun logo and color is a plus!”
