One of the few things I really enjoy about being a mother, besides the real mothering aspect of it and organizing their birthday parties, is having all sorts of labels printed for the children! Yes, everyone loves stickers – including me, the mother. Haha.
When Blake’s earlier batch of labels was running low, I started looking around for a new company to print labels with. I wanted to explore my options, as the previous set of labels were not exactly worth the amount I paid for. I had gone through a few websites, all undecided if I should make a purchase, when Stickerkid approached me.
And thus far, I’ve been more than pleased with their customer service. Here’s why:
Stickerkid labels arrived from Swizterland. I love how vibrant the colours are!
I specifically chose the same icon for Blake and Nakayla, cos I like how the dog and cat are hugging one another with such love, and I really do think Blake and Nakayla are like a dog and cat – so similar, yet so different! And I took the obvious route of blue for the boy and pink for the girl. Haha.
There were only two things that was rather disappointing to me. The first was printing the wrong colours for the small labels bearing Nakayla’s name. I had requested for green font colour, but I received mine in white font colour. This wasn’t that big a deal, cos print-wise, the quality was there.
Then I took a closer look of the iron-on labels.
The iron-on labels were not that well printed, seeing how there are lines running through the middle of the names. I emailed Stickerkid to inform them of the misprint of colours and the poor printing on the iron-on labels, and this was their prompt response:
We are happy to reprint the stickers with the green font and ship them over with priority (4-5 business days). My apologies again!
As for the iron on labels, unfortunately with the technology of thermic printing, small imperfections as this are normal. This is clearly not as pretty as the normal stickers which are printed with ink, but ensure the strong robustness and long-lastingness when it comes to i.e. 60 degree heat in a washing machine.
After receiving this reply, I was rather pleased. They took the initiative to explain to me the kind of printing that they use, and explained how the imperfections had happened. I cannot stress on how much I appreciate it when people (especially those in sales) take time to explain their products/services to me, and not just regurgitate everything they memorized from the product manual or, the worst kind, think I’m wasting their time for asking such questions in the first place.
Besides the good customer service experienced, what made me even happier was when I received this a few days later:
Not only did they reprint and send me the small labels bearing Nakayla’s name, they also sent me a stack of iron-on labels, all printed nicely! I honestly didn’t think they would send me more copies of the iron-on labels, seeing how they explained that it was pretty normal to have such prints due to the use of thermic printing. Needless to say, I’m thoroughly surprised!
Besides great customer service support, I have also been very pleased by the quality of the labels.
Only used Blake’s as Nakayla have yet to get her school uniforms – next June!
Labels for Blake’s new bottles.
His sudden love for Stitch had me running to all nearby cartoon stores to search for Stitch products.
Amount paid and effort to find these two bottles totally worth it upon seeing his face 🙂
Close up
Yes, I labelled his duck lantern as well. Not gonna risk the chance of someone stealing my boy’s precious ducks!
Only using these labels for Nakayla so far as she has yet to attend school.
And yes, I’m already prepping her for Playgroup classes next year! Hehe.
So far, I’ve been very pleased with the sticker labels. It feels so soft (as soft as such plastics can get, that is), and can easily bend according to the surface of the bottles and shoes. The iron-on labels feels tough, which is great, but I will love it more if they were to move away from thermic printing and use ink to print instead. What can I say? I love my colours. Haha.
My overall experience with Stickerkid has been good – great customer service and support, and quality products with such cute icons!

Disclaimer: We received a sample pack of labels from Stickerkid for the purpose of this review.
These are important. My daughter recently ended up with someone else’s shoes because white Bata shoes all looked the same. It led me to mutter about labelling her shoes!
Oh dear! How unfortunate! Thankfully, you were able to tell that she wore the wrong pair of shoes home.
My boy is starting childcare soon. Winning this would be great because I have many things to label.
Ah yes! Childcare would require everything to be labelled! I labelled anything and everything that Blake brings to school!
I wouldn’t mind the labels for my Tiger girl as she sometimes misplaces her stuff.
That would be great for knowing when the item found is hers!
My boys love stickers and would be thrilled to have such pretty ones on their belongings.
Yes! Stickers are like balloons, I think – every child loves them!
Seriously, when the whole class wears the same Bata shoes….. Haha.
Haha! I haven’t gotten to that stage yet! Blake’s school allows them to wear any pair of shoes (or slippers) that the child is comfortable in, but I have seen some of the children mixing up their shoes because it’s the same design and same size! But somehow, parents just know when the shoes are wrong. Haha.
I really, really want to win it for my girl, Faith. Would love to try out the stickers!
I think Faith will like having extra embellishments to her belongings!
Because normal stickers may work on water bottles, pencils and rulers, they certainly don’t stay on school bags! We had to resort to attaching keychains to the bag’s zippers to differentiate it!
I did manage to iron-on the label onto Blake’s school bag, but you must remember to check the material before doing so!
wld like to win a set for my first born gg to cc nx yr (:
Yay! It’s gonna be a fun time for your child, I’m sure! 😀
This is absolutely essential for the communal-style school! Kids are always mixing up, and losing stuff. I’ll have to start preparing for my girl, who starts school in a few months’ time.
Yes, sometimes my boy comes home with extra bottles or containers because his classmates didn’t have labels on it, and the teachers thought it was his! Haha.
And, he loses them sometimes too, ain’t it? Haha.
Thankfully, the past year, he only lost one item, and that’s the cap of his bottle. Now I label every single part. Anything that is detachable from the main body, label!
I would love to have the iron on the kids’ uniforms. They always bring the wrong clothes home from childcare!
Oh dear! That sounds pretty common in childcare… Blake got his shorts lost in school, but they managed to find it after a few weeks because of the iron-on label!
My boy needs to wear uniform in 2 months time….!!! The iron ons will be just in time for his “promotion”! Thanks for hosting.
Hehe. This is one “promotion” we all look forward to, yet wonder “why are they growing so fast?!” 😛
My younger girl will be joining my elder girl in school in a few months.. I need to differentiate the uniforms because while they are 2 years apart, they can share the same clothes!
Hehe! It’s going to be a fun time when your younger girl joins her big sister in school! I remembered when I had to share uniforms with my elder sis, who’s two years older than me too 😛
Dana’s sticker labels are running low, I need replenishment and these look so pretty (and hardy)! 🙂
What great timing! Hehe 😛
I would like to win these as the boy is going to school really soon and the past few stickers that I received all got faded (stuck them on waterbottles) after the first wash while those on the bag fell off. I guess, not all stickers are made the same eh. 🙂

Oh dear! That’s so unfortunate! And yes, not all sticker labels are made the same. Quality really do differ from one to another.
I would like to win this for my gers as they r attending school and always lost their things, if not bring the wrong thing home. so having a label will help to assure that they dun take their friends item home.
The sticker labels will definitely help identify the owners of all the different belongings in school! 😀
