Stationery and School bags

[buds]

I used to DIY Winx Club cartoon labels for my girls and bought the clear laminate adhesive plastic (contact paper) to paste over the labels. A lotta work cause gotta cut soo many labels for soo many things. I also make extras for spares so I don't have to re-print, cut n paste each time any needs replacement like on water bottles or files (etc).


When my daddie bought the girls the Brother labeller I brought them to choose the colour tapes they preferred and they liked helping out with the label printing. I also told them it's now clean, neat n simple. Nice. Plus now jie-jie dy. No need cartoons anymore.

Hi Eskimo & Buds,

May I know how much are the Brother label machine & labels you bought?
Are the labels waterproof?
Thanks

The cheapest one was at $26.90. It runs on thermal ink, the salesperson say the label ink will fade after more than a year. Unless u get the laminated labels, a different type that is higher end, then it won’t fade.


I think the normal 8m labels are going at $14+.

Hi Eskimo

Thanks for the info.

Need some help here. Should I get trolley or non-trolley school bags for my kids. I worried about the trolley wheels might get dirty to kids shirts.


Please kindly advise, thanks

The P-touch range is one we have and at the Book Fest i saw one gg gor $46.90.

I get the laminated ones. They can be recycled for use after i remove it from their
current books. Mostly for the name labels since their class allocation will be different
every year. Laminated TZ tapes slightly more pricey at $27.50. All prices indicated are
before discount. I usually prefer the plain black on white or black on yellow cos the prints
on the labels are very neat and very clear to see. Hope this helps.

They have many versions of this portable or handheld labelling machines. I also saw another
brand called Dymo which looks pretty handy cos smaller like nets payment tool liddat but
cannot comment on it as i've never used it before. Happy with my BROTHER.

Have you attended Orientation?

Some schools do not allow trolley bags at all.. ..do check first before you make a decision..

Is it cheaper to buy at Bookfest or at Popular bookstore with 20% discount coupon?

Any further discount at Bookfest with Popular card?

Regards.

You need to produce Popular Card upon payment to enjoy the discounts. If planning to purchase books n stationery apart from labeller then I will say Book Fest better.


If just getting very few stuff then, may not be worth the trip all the way to Suntec. However, do find out if the discount voucher can also apply for purchase of labellers n their tapes beforehand from the Popular staff to be safe.

No further discount for the brother labelling machine at Bookfest. The price is already the offer price.
