Duraweld: Smart Presentation

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. However, even if your child auctions off all their stationery to the highest bidder, this is where bespoke stationery comes in.

 

Personalised pens and pencils are inexpensive and useful as not only do they not get lost as easily, but your child may also feel a higher sense of attachment to their stationery if their name is on it. Personalising techniques such as engraving also ensure that the name will not rub off or disintegrate over time, an added bonus.

 

 

If your child is older, he or she will eventually need a ring binder to keep together all the important paper sheets and homework assignments they collect over the days. An A4 ring binder is a brilliant way to keep everything together and when coupled with clear plastic wallets, these sheets have no risk of water damage or creasing. Ring binders can be personalised in many ways and a personalised ring binder allows your child to express their identity through their belongings. A custom ring binder also means it is easier to personally identify if lost and found again.

 

 

As well as the ring binder option, many school children tend to keep each subject in their own document folders. These document folders are wallets that hold A4 sheets of paper and can hold some smaller books such as a thin A5 exercise book. They can be easily customised/decorated on by using a marker pen and are available in a variety of different colours so your child can colour-code their lessons. They are thin enough to leave in a locker without taking up much space and are light enough to be transported easily from class to class.

 

 

When personalising a child’s school belongings it always pays to go the extra mile. Items of clothing are harder to personalise but more inconvenient to lose, such as school jumpers. Iron-on patches with your child’s name can be bought to ensure that if a jumper or blazer is lost, everyone will know who it belongs to so it can be returned. Coupling this with personalised stationery means that your child is sent to school every day with an armoury of custom belongings that should last for many school years to come.
