How We Are Different

Our approach to stationery is unique. Below are details on why working with our company is so special.

- Many of our graphics have a special feature that allows you to personalize the graphic. For instance our boy and girl locker graphic has a jersey hanging from the locker. You can add your last name or nick name to the jersey. Even some of the camp stationery has this feature.

- Glitter and Glaze makes our designs POP! To make some of our designs stand out we have added some special effects. Glitter or glaze are hand applied to select portions of a number of our designs (this is not available on pads) and it really helps them come alive. Since it was hard to show on the website - our product descriptions will tell you if the design you are looking at has glitter or glaze applied to it. For instance, if you take a look at the girls dress up label or note card there will be glitter on the mirror and pink hearts, the boys dinosaur has glittering fire blowing from it's mouth.

- Our labels all leave room for you to write in the child's name to whom you are giving the gift. It not only personalizes the gift, it also identifies the gift. Now when your child attends an party at a public space (where parties sometimes overlap or more than one party takes place at a time) you can make sure your gift is going to the right child. Labels also allows you to give more than one child a gift at the same time and identify who gets which gift.

- Our note cards also offer a unique option...you can order them with or without lines. If you really want to encourage your child to write note cards help them by adding lines to his or hers note cards. Children are use to having lines on everything that they are asked to write on....why not their note cards?

- Our camp pak has many features that distinguish it. All of the pages are padded so that your child has less of a chance of losing them. Every one of our camp designs comes in 2 different formats, either all lines or part fill-in. The part fill-in will gives you general information, such as how the camper is, and then has lines which tries to encourage the camper to tell you soemthing more. We don't offer a full fill-in format because it is our experience that the parents either receive the same information in each letter or madlibs because the camper is tired of answering the same questions. Our designs for the camp stationery have all been created by us so many offer a place for the camper's name at the top and the name of the camp within the design. Please look to our product descriptions for the designs with this capability. All of our camp paks come with a maze pen, stickers and envelopes.

- Another special service we offer is to allow our customers to order an exact amount of note cards and/or invitations. This feature allows you to decide what you want to spend and to stay within your budget, whether ordering for your own use or to give as a gift. It also makes ordering invitations easier. Have you ever gone to order an invitation and realized that 25 invitations would not cover your guest list but jumping to 50 invitations left you paying for a lot of invitations you would never use? Also, for those of us who miscount how many we need or decide to add a few guests to the list, this option makes it easy to order extra invites. While volume pricing from other sites might seem entising - ordering exactly what you want or need can save you $$$.

Our Origin

I started Just Label It when my children were young. Every week I was running to the store to try to find inexpensive cards to put on the presents of the birthday parties we had that weekend. There was a store nearby that offered "free" labels and gift wrap but I really felt that I was paying for it in the price of the toy. I liked the idea of labels because they didn't get detached from the wrapping paper. I can't tell you how many times we came home from my son's or daughter's birthday party and had to play the which card belonged to which gift game. So I decided to design my own line of labels. While some of the designs have come from my own imagination, a lot of the work I do comes from my customers telling me about their children's likes and interests. That is why customer input is such a big part of our business. We appreciate and need your feedback!
