Simplifying Camp Labels

Have you gone shopping for Clothing Labels for Camp recently?  If yes you'll be faced with a dizzying array of choices for the modern consumer.  I often wonder if the sophisticated world that we live in is a blessing or a curse for the contemporary Mom.

If you’re a modern Mom you probably find yourself running a tightrope all day, every single day while juggling all your family’s and household’s needs.  When my friends and I actually catch up with each other we often wonder out loud, “How is it that we live in this day and age when we housewives have so many time-saving devices  and appliances and none of us have any time for ourselves?”

Grandmother had time to wash items by hand and hang them up to dry, she sewed much of her kid’s clothing on her own and made food from scratch. She churned out fresh cakes one day each week and made her own pastries and preserves.  After doing all that she still had time to sit down each evening with her family to spend the time with them.

Nowadays, we have so many time saving gadgets and appliances that we literally don’t have to do anything by hand anymore. We have ready cake mixes and frozen cookie dough, store-bought sauces, soup mix and cooking stock.   Our time is scheduled and sliced up and divided between all the activities that have to get done and we still have no time to sit down and enjoy our families and the world around us.


SO MANY CHOICES!?!?

It’s the curse of the modern world that the more time-saving gadgets we own the less time we have to simply live.  As new and more diverse products are constantly made available to the consumer, we are inundated with more and more updated features and options.

The downside to all these choices is that all the different features and options are time consuming to research.  Research includes comparing prices, checking up reviews, and assessing the different capabilities and add-ons each product has.

In addition, the must-have new and shiny gadgets and devices come with upgraded capabilities that inevitably have glitches that need to be fine-tuned and fixed until they work properly.  The advanced new features often cause other fundamental features to malfunction so our device is essentially useless until repaired.  To top it all off, appliances nowadays come with control panels which is another part that could malfunction. All these issues takes time to address and repair.  Do you get the drift of what’s happening nowadays?  We are a pawn to technology and the companies that promote them.

Which brings us back to our humble little Camp Labels.  Clothing Labels has fared no different than the other products on the market.  Years ago, when a Mom was looking to label her child’s clothing for camp, she went to her local trimming store and ordered a set of white labels with black (and sometimes red or blue) ink.  There were no other options to choose from.  When they were ready she brought them home and sewed them onto each garment (probably in the evenings when she was spending time with her family) and presto – her kid's stuff was labeled.

Nowadays there are a dizzying array of options available.  You can choose different color prints and different color backgrounds, you can choose between a solid background or a background with designs.  You can choose between 100’s of icons and font styles. Of course all this comes with a hefty price tag so now you’ll need to go comparison shopping too.  Have you ever timed yourself when you did comparison shopping online?  Time yourself next time and you'll be mighty surprised.

We believe in making life simple and costs low.  Clothing labels for camp have one purpose.  They are made to identify your child’s clothing in camp and it’s not worth spending any extra time or money on them.

In the name of simplicity we offer four basic camp labeling products:
- Iron On Labels
- Sew On Labels
- Clothing Stamp
- Laundry Marker

Our most popular product by far is the Iron On Labels which will cost you a mere $9.99 for a set of 100.   All our clothing labels are printed on white material, either with an adhesive for the Iron On Labels or a softer poly material for the Sew On Labels.  For some added variety we offer you the option to add an icon or initial to your label and the option to print your label with red or blue ink.

Our average customer spends no more than 7 minutes on our website placing the order.  That leaves you plenty of time to spend with your family.
