If You Like it Then You Shoulda Put a... Monogram... On it!
What is a monogram?
A monogram is a personalized message that you can have engraved, stitched, printed or stamped onto an item to make it more personal and unique. For example, at Bag-all, we offer stitched monograms on almost all of our products. When a customer purchases a box, case or bag, we offer to monogram the item for an additional $16. With the option of our many different fonts, colors, and symbols, you can personalize your item so that it matches your unique style and preference. If you’re purchasing a gift, a monogram will surely make your gift feel more personal as well.
What kind of monograms do our customers usually get?
Our customers are very creative and get lots of different monograms. It’s very common to write one’s first name, nickname, initials, or last name. It’s also common for our customers to write a description of what they’re storing in the bag, for example: Makeup, Socks, Toiletries, or Outfits. They also write specific dates and quotes. In the pictures above, we have some lovely one-letter monograms created by our customers.
“My rule is, if it’s not moving... Monogram it!”
quick facts about monogramming
Customizing and personalizing gifts are becoming increasingly popular. People love having their names and initials on their stuff, clothes, and bags. It adds style, a personal touch, and marks ownership of your things.
Monogramming home accessories such as napkins, towels and bed linen is something that people have been doing for over 2,000 years. In a traditional sense, a monogram is a design that incorporate two or more letters and, most commonly, initials. At Bag-all, we also encourage one-letter monograms, full names, or even short, inspirational quotes.
And the best part? we plant trees!
Every time we sell a monogram, we plant a tree in areas of deforestation. With some help from our friends over at OneTreePlanted.org, we are able to help areas of the world where it’s needed. So far, we have planted over 6700 trees, and we’re committed to plant many, many more, with your help! When purchasing a monogram for someone else, you’re really giving them two gifts, since you’re giving them the monogrammed product as well as a tree. Together, we can change the world.
How do we make monograms & how long does it take?
All our stores are equipped with at least one monogram machine, and a monogram usually takes about 15 min to make, depending on how busy the store is. This means that if you purchase a monogram in our stores, you’ll be able to bring it home the same day! Choose between our many different fonts and colors, write your name down the way you’d like to have it spelled, and voila! A monogram is in the making. If you order your monograms online, the monogram will most likely be finished at once and your products will ship the very same day.
In addition to our printed products, we also have many blank products. These are perfect for monogramming since they fit longer words than many of our printed products.
Monograms for birthdays, weddings, & bridal showers
A monogrammed gift is among the most popular ones for birthdays, weddings, and bridal showers. A classic three-letter monogram is when the first name initial is on the left, the middle name initial is on the right, and the last name initial is in the middle.
If you are ordering initials for a wedding gift, the proper way to do it is to place the husband’s first initial on the left, the wife’s first initial on the right, and their last name initial in the middle. In terms of bridesmaids gifts, many brides got their unique, monogrammed gifts at Bag-all. In the picture below we have an example of how one bride choose to monogram the gifts for her bridesmaids.
“If anyone ever tells you that you monogram too many
things, stop talking to them.
You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.”
