Hi! I'm Joy McCormack, owner and operator of EmbroidMe Moonee Ponds.
Today I'd like to talk about name labels,
for schools uniforms, sporting uniforms, bags, et cetera...
Why label our kids clothes?
To save them getting from lost, it looks smart, the kids thinks it's fun when they've got their name on their garments,
and provides value.
How do we label clothes? What's best?
Well in my day, we had these woven labels,
which is still a good idea!
They come in, um...there is a minimum quantity, so you have to order between thirty and a hundered.
They come in one colour. They have to be sewn on.
Now if your a good sewer, it's quite easy to sew 'em on, on the back neck.
But if your not, like most people these days
sewing...[pause], isn't a good...[pause]
Not everyone knows how to sew.
Iron-on is another method.
But again, very similar to the traditional one,
it comes in one colour, you have to order a minimum,
the size is basically just one size, that you normally put in between the back label and your neck
and you just use an iron, to iron them on
it only goes on some fabrics,
won't go on knitwear, um... won't go on sporting bags, won't go on raincoats or anything like that, the iron-on.
and some brands do come off in the wash.
And then there's 'texta'. An easy way to label your kids clothes,
but there's a disadvantage. You've got to have very neat handwriting,
it won't work on wools, polyester [pause]... it only works on light colours and it can fade and wash out.
Now there's Embroidery.
People. Some people think that it's expensive...but...[pause]...Let me explain to you how it's priced.
It's priced per placement and how many stitches there is.
What does this mean?
OK, let me grab some samples.
It means that you can change the colour,
without occurring a price.
Take these pair of shorts.
You can have it...[pause]...labelled at the back
in navy so it's very...so it hides...you can't see it unless your looking for it
you can also do it on the front, in a bright blue colour, so it stands out
You can do it on a back knit neck of a jumper
in the same colour, or...
you could even do it in yellow to match the school brand
You can make it a little bit bigger, or smaller
You can..[pause]...make it, stand... put it on the front, on a slight angle in a bright colour
so it's there for everyone to see.
Also sporting clothes. Again this person has put it on the back,
but we have before put it across the back, in the yellow to match the contrast.
They put it on their hats.
This, um...this customer has got two children,
and on three items here, she's put two different names
and it only cost her for three garments, three placements.
Again, again, you could put it in a different colour,
And also on bags.
You can place it on bags so it stands out, so that the child can see their...
See their bag, amongst all the bags that are the same.
They can, um...you can make it in a bright colour,
you can do it in Hot Pink, or your child's favourite colour.
Some schools allow that.
So that means your not limited to...[pause]... colours, position, items...[pause]...and size.
And it adds value to your garments.
So to recap, this customer got three garments
So to recap, this customer got three garments
with, um... two different names, and one with a full name and one with a abbreviated name
and if she got badges, name badges, she would of have to get three badges, three different lots of badges, with um...
which is around one hundred and fifty in total, um.. for around seventy dollars
where here, she has paid...[pause]...six, six fifty to eight dollars each
and she's got exactly what she wanted, she's picked the font, the colour and the size that, that she has wanted.
Name labels aren't just limited to kids uniforms, they're also good for work wear,
recreation wear - you golfers out there! - and gifts!
Especially at this time of year. We have Christmas stockings.
Put your child's name on a Christmas stocking, fantastic this time of year!
Well thank you very much for listening, pop into the store and see us, mention this tape and I'll give you a discount.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
