Donations: Mrs. Smithson’s Kindergarten Class

Getting a quality education is important to
Coller Industries. So are donations!

As your go-to specialist for personal identification needs, Coller Industries strives to make a difference in our community. Part of this is to donate our time, products and solutions to those in need. Recently we were contact by someone in great need of our assistance.

“Teachers spend a lot out of pocket and having this donation helps (our) eight kindergarten teachers out,” said Michelle Smithson, Kindergarten teacher at Overall Creek Elementary in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Coller Industries donated lanyards and badge holders to help these classrooms with their needs.

“We will be using these lanyards for the students to have their name and library and lunch numbers printed on a tag to be able to independently type in their numbers on the keypad. Even in Kindergarten we, as teachers, are not allowed to help them type this number in for them. Having the lanyards gives them the visual to be able to look and see their numbers. Also having a lanyard helps to easily put them on and for storage,” said Smithson.

Round Corded Lanyards

Cord badge lanyards have length of 36 inches with a J-hook fastener, ideal for badge holders and ID Badges. These simple and inexpensive lanyards come in over a half a dozen classic colors.

Light Weight Badge Holders

These badge holders are a common size (2.25 x 3.5 inches) for meetings, schools and visitor passes. This is an economical vinyl option. The 8 mil vinyl is sturdy enough for light use and provides a few fastener options.

Smithson also explained, “We are in the ‘kid business’ doing our best to instill a love for learning and inquiry through (our) STEAM curriculum.” The donation will help them to stand up to their school goals: to assure academic & personal success for each child.

When given to such a great cause, Coller Industries loves providing these donations. We stand by our customers and strive to help in our community. All of our donations are something that help us stand out from our competition. And the best part is working with wonderful people like this!

TOP 5: Holiday Name Tag Ideas

A simple how to list for name tag ideas during the holidays.

Name tag ideas can be very simple. Simply order a name tag of your choice and write the person’s name on it. Take it one step further and have the name tag punched with a hole to easily affix it to the wine or drinking glass stem.

TO/FROM “REUSABLE” GIFT TAGS

A great name tag idea for those who like to “go green.” Don’t throw away your tags from year to year! Custom made name tags can be made from plastic and engraved with “a gift from:” and then taped to each gift under your tree. Once the wrapping has been removed, collect the tags and save them for the next year.

USE ADHESIVE NAME BADGES FOR HOLIDAY GAMES

Adhesive name badges are a wonderful party item. Use these name badges for multiple games from “Who Am I?” to getting to know you games. Simply remove the backing and attach to your clothing. Once finished, these badges can be discarded.

USE NAME BADGE HOLDERS TO CREATE HOLIDAY MEMORY BOOKLETS

Every year people take dozens of photos of their holiday events. Make this year even more unique by creating memory booklets using name badge holders. Make sure to print your pictures the size of the holder and put them in an order that will be memorable. Choose from our vast variety of personalized ribbons to tie the pages together.

 

CREATE HOMEMADE ORNAMENTS OUT OF BLANK NAME BADGES

The sky is the limit on this project! Take any of our blank name badges and draw things or write names or memories in a permanent marker. Attach any ribbon you want to the back of the tag and hang it on your Christmas tree or another place that you want to showcase your homemade talents.

Whatever your use this year, make name tags a part of your life!

And, from all of us here at Coller Industries, we wish you a very merry Christmas!

 

Happy Holidays from Coller Industries

Donation Spotlight: An Infinite Mind

Donations are a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays.

They are also a great way to highlight our customers; especially our repeat customers. An Infinite Mind is no exception to this. Coller Industries has had the pleasure of working with An Infinite Mind for the past six years and enjoys supporting their cause. While a simple donation of name badge holders may seem small, it means a great deal to the recipient. “We are very appreciative of the continued support of Coller Industries. It not only means a lot to me personally but also to our attendees to know someone cares about this cause,” says Jaime Pollock, Founder and Director of An Infinite Mind.

An Infinite MindAn Infinite Mind works with adult survivors of childhood abuse who have dissociation and DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). They are a non-profit organization that educates and advocates for these adult trauma survivors. They offer workshops, support groups and supportive therapies to improve the lives of these survivors. An Infinite Mind also holds an annual conference for these survivors, their loved ones, and mental health professionals.

“The conference is priced to cost in order to keep it affordable to all who want to come. With the continued generous donations from Coller Industries, we are able to keep our costs low, which in turn keeps the cost of the conference low,” Pollack graciously said.

As part of this conference, Coller Industries provided a donation of badge holders, inserts and lanyards. These items will be used for volunteers, speakers, and attendees during the “Healing Together” conference. “The conference is private and secure so if a person does not have the coveted name badge, they cannot enter. The name tag is a very important piece of the conference,” said Pollack.

In the past, Pollack described An Infinite Mind as a dedicated and hard-working organization. “We’re very passionate about this cause,” she added. Here’s a hats-off to our friends at An Infinite Mind!

We have several sizes to choose from. Our two most popular sizes are 2.25×3.5, and 3×4. The sizes listed are horizontal, but we also have vertical, and many more sizes to choose from.

We also offer sheets of card stock with perforated edges that match the size of the badges. We have several colors, and we are confident that our material is the best out there. We also offer templates for the printing process so it goes smoothly and easily.

You can print virtually anything on the badges from names to logos to photos. So long as you have the printer capabilities the possibilities are vast.

We also have a large variety of fasteners you can choose from. Our most popular fasteners are our magnets, however you can also choose from a pin, a clip, a double clutch, or a pin/clip combo.
