Personalising Your Child’s School Belongings

When you send your child off to school every day, who knows where their belongings might end up. Children can accidentally lose things. School friends endlessly borrow pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, even items of clothing and they all get mixed up in the process.

Ring binder care in the cold

Cold crack

Vinyl becomes hard and brittle when exposed to cold. So much so, that the material may actually crack or split if knocked. This effect is called ‘cold crack’ and the possibility of it happening rises when ring binders, or other vinyl products, are left in cold temperatures for an extended period of time.
