Attach-a-Tag

The Attach-a-Tag Clothes Labelling System is an innovative way of attaching name labels to clothes. As a mother of three I have in the past spent far too much of my very limited spare time sewing labels into my children’s clothes. With my middle child starting secondary school in September and off to a youth club camp over the summer holidays I was eager to try this system.
 
You order personalised plastic tags online and once these arrive you are ready to go. The hand held applicator opens up and you place the name tag into the head of the applicator, and the locking retainer into the lower jaw. The garment label slips between the tag and the locking retainer and you simply press together and twist the tab to secure them together. The first attempt was a failure as the two bits were firmly locked into their respective places in the applicator. However, after another attempt and a few more twists of the tab, the label was securely in place. After that I had the hang of it and, as promised, subsequent tags were applied in seconds!
 
I had wondered if the plastic tags would be an irritation as they are less discrete than a write on, or sewn on label. However, they are slim and ergonomically designed and having applied tags to clothes labels in a number of different places, my daughter tells me that the tags feel fine wherever located, although it did chafe a bit at the neck with tight fitting t-shirts. The tags are wash proof to 100 degrees, can be dry cleaned and tumble dried and are iron proof. They are also pretty secure once applied.
 
This is a great product, particularly if you have a lot of name tags to apply, for example to school uniforms. I would definitely recommend this product but it should be borne in mind that the tags are not always practical for labelling neck labels which I always think is the best place for name tags as it is so quick and easy for children, parents and teachers to identify which child a garment belongs to. Having said that, slightly older children will soon learn to check side labels when searching through the lost property box for their mislaid clothes.
