WHEN it comes to labelling your back-to-school essentials, look no further than Swan Hill Disposals and Outdoor Store.
Their embroidery service will ensure your items will steer clear of the lost property bin.
They can personalise a range of items, including uniforms, hats, school bags, sporting gear and towels.
Swan Hill Disposals owner Daryl Billing said their embroidery service had served the local community for more than a decade.
“The embroidery service is a standalone service, so customers are able to bring their items to us to personalise,” Mr Billing said, noting there were many advantages to embroidering.
“It’s long lasting and won’t wear and tear like other labelling systems.”
It also encourages individuality, with customers encouraged to select their preferred colour, font and size.
Mr Billing said the embroidery service had been very popular in the past and they had already started to label a number of school backpacks in the leadup to the new school year.
With a quick turnaround, Mr Billing said embroidery was a very cost-effective form of labelling.
“It takes the frustration out of losing things,” he said.
The store also stocks a large range of insulated lunch boxes and food jars, designed to keep food fresh and at the desired serving temperature, as well as ice bricks and gel packs as part of their food storage range.
They also have a large range of drink bottles, including vacuum insulated, to ensure students remain hydrated throughout the day.
Catering to the great outdoors, Swan Hill Disposals also has a great range of breathable sun smart hats with UV protection, for both students and teachers.
The store also stocks other back-to-school essentials, including insect repellent, Hi Vis safety vests, school bags, packing cubes and thermals for winter.
