In September everything is new and everything looks alike: the bottles, the pencil cases, the lunch boxes, the coats. Things with their name on come back home; the ones without, sometimes don't. Here is how we mark each material and what lasts best through a whole school year.

A name written by hand on a bottle washes off in the dishwasher; a paper label peels off in the damp of a school bag. By the middle of the first term, many things no longer have a name, just when they start to get mixed up.
That is why we mark each material with the technique that holds best on it. On silicone, steel and wood we laser engrave the name: it doesn't peel or wear off. On fabric, such as the snack bag or the drawstring bag, we fix it with iron-on vinyl, which lasts if washed inside out and in cold water. On some products, such as the children's umbrella or the backpack charm for school, the name is colour printed.
For clothes and backpacks sold with their original design, you have two options: the charm with their name, which clips onto the zip, and the faux leather iron-on patches, which are laser engraved and fixed onto the fabric with heat.

How to place the order
Make a list of what goes back and forth
Bottle, lunch box, pencil case, backpack and whatever stays in the classroom.
Write the name the way you want it
We are a workshop in Móstoles: accents and the ñ are no problem for us. Check the spelling before you confirm.
Add a drawing if the product allows it
On silicone cups, lunch boxes and bottles we can engrave a little animal next to the name, which helps those who can't read yet.
We prepare it
We personalise each piece in our workshop and send it within 24 to 48 working hours.
Frequently asked questions
What lasts longer: the engraved name or the vinyl?
Laser engraving is permanent and is used on silicone, steel and wood. Iron-on vinyl is for fabric and lasts many washes if washed inside out and in cold water.
How do you apply the iron-on patches?
They are fixed onto the fabric with heat, following the application instructions for faux leather. They come in packs of 5 and have the name laser engraved.
Can you mark a backpack that isn't personalised?
Yes, with the charm with their name, which clips onto the zip, or with an iron-on patch.
Can you add the year or the class?
On the silicone pencil case, yes: as well as the name we can engrave the year or the class. For the rest, ask us and we will tell you if it is possible.
Do you spell accents and the ñ correctly?
Yes. We personalise in our workshop in Móstoles and engrave the name exactly as you write it.
How long does the order take?
We personalise each piece in our workshop and send it within 24 to 48 working hours.
