Back to School

Up until a few years ago, parents had to buy school uniforms from specialist shops or direct from the school. Now many major retailers have school wear departments for boys and girls and are currently actively running “back to school” uniform campaigns on TV and in store.

Retailers like ASDA, M&S, Tesco and Sainsbury’s provide a competitive one stop shop for your children’s school clothing whatever your budget.

School Uniform items available include coats and jackets, dresses, jumpers and cardigans, pinafores, polo shirts, shirts and blouses, skirts, trousers, socks and tights, underwear, not forgetting shoes and sportswear. You can also view the variety of styles and sizes online. Most retailers cater for children sizes aged 3 to 16 years and it is easy to mix and match the clothes with personalised school labelled polo and t-shirts.

We have had trawl through soem of the early Back to School campaigns and here are our findings:-

Labelling School Uniforms

Although many school clothes provide a label to write your child’s name, we all know from experience that we either forget to write it on or it fades quickly in the wash.

Simply Stuck provide a number of quality labelling solutions to help ensure your new purchases don’t go astray early in the new term.

Options include iron-on labels, woven labels, stickers and even shoe labels. The labels are easy to apply to the school uniform, are waterproof, and can be personalised to include your child’s name and their chosen picture motif.

Ordering is very easy via the Simply Stuck online shop and delivery is within 3 working days.
