Kwik Tapes suggest you put full name not just name and initial on your tapes. If a child attends a large school nobody would know who J. smith was, however Jennifer Smith would be much easier to trace.

Likewise if a telephone number or name of school is on row 2 this is further information to make returning property easier.

Order some tapes for mum and dad too, particularly useful to apply to your sports socks so that you can stop your teenagers taking yours.

Apply Peel-n-Stick to all sorts of items, particularly ones of high value eg. Cameras, glasses, sports equiptment, musical instruments, wallets, umbrellas etc.

Applying to socks - apply to the instep area running down the sock from heel to toe. Some socks are particularly stretchy, if so try to stretch sock slightly before applying name tape.

On sheer fabrics or t-shirts apply name tape to double layer of material.

Apply name tape in easy to find location; on tops, shirts, dresses and t-shirts it is best to apply at back of neck.

On skirts, trousers, underwear apply at waist band, however, AVOID areas which are elasticated or gathered.
