If there’s one absolute must that I’ve always emphasised for the back-to-school season, it’s personalized labels. Since my oldest son headed to school for his first day of Kindergarten six years ago, I’ve been obsessed with ensuring that any school gear is sporting a colourful and durable label.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to test out a few different brands of personalized labels, and they’ve all done a pretty good job of doing what I wanted. But until this year, I’d never heard of Stick 2 Me. So, when I was given the chance to review a Super Pack of the company’s personalized labels perfect for back-to-school, I couldn’t wait to put them to the test.

As soon as I checked out the website to order labels for my oldest son’s new school year, I knew that these labels were going to be something special. The variety was fantastic and even though my oldest is starting to prefer more understated and mature designs, there were plenty of options he loved. After a little deliberation, he chose the Graffiti Sports pack with the Script font for his labels.

The labels arrived in just a few days (a definite plus for those last-minute back-to-school shoppers), and I was thrilled when I looked through the different designs. The quantity and variety of labels in the package immediately set Stick 2 Me apart from the competition. I loved that there were two different large labels for bigger items: the fun shaped label and the large rectangle label. And small rectangle labels came in three different designs as well for lots of variety on smaller items!

I could tell as I was peeling off the labels and sticking them onto school gear that they were going to have great durability. The labels are waterproof and safe for the dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. I liked that the clothing labels were designed to go onto clothing tags so that they could still be removed in the future, since my boys often pass their clothes down to each other. And I was so impressed with how the labels stayed in place wash after wash.
