Trading Office Noise for Summer Fun

From the noise of machines to the buzz of a social activity, summer is definitely more fun in the sun.

Mondays through Fridays in the Coller Industries building are always noisy. From the ticking of keyboards in marketing to phone calls about orders in customer service, the noise is constant. And the loudest place of all is production and shipping. With the laser machines going full strength and the packing tape being stretched out to wrap each shipment securely, each employee is focused on one thing: our customers.

Last Saturday however, brought a different type of noise. From the creaking of plastic under bare feet in the bounce house to the gentle murmur of a crowd while they attempted to socialize while eating delicious barbecue, Coller Industries’ employees created a unique sound at the annual company barbecue get-together.

As always, the bounce house was a hit with the kids. And someone brought water guns for the kids to play with as well. While the adults chatted away, the kids ran around chasing each other, and everyone had a blast!

The food was just as fantastic as the fun!

Joe Morely’s Bar-B-Q pulled it off again this year. With spare ribs, two types of sliced meat smothered in barbecue sauce, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and rolls, the spread was amazing. To finish off the meal was a giant apple pie and a couple of strawberry cheesecakes. Oh, and cookies for the kids who were still chasing each other with the water guns!

While the noise of the office is anything but mundane, it’s always nice to be out with colleagues and to have the variety of the outdoors and social conversations. We want to say thank you to Coller Industries for providing such a wonderful event for their employees. The company works just as hard at keeping their employees happy as the employees do for the customers.

And, here’s some noise from those busy employees:

CreelaBelle, Content Writer, said, “I like that we have fun and do things together as a company, but we also try to do our best and make customers happy. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Patrick, Production and Shipping Manager, said, “This was our best barbecue yet! And, having the bounce house was great for the kids. My daughter loved it. But, by far my favorite part of working at Coller Industries is all the cool people I work with.”

Hannah, Customer Service Manager, said, “Even though the free food is always a plus, it’s great to see everyone in a relaxed environment and see all the kids. We have such a great group of employees, and it feels more like we’re friends than coworkers.”

Making Family Reunion Memories

From icebreakers to basic identification, name tags are a must at your family reunion!

No matter the size of your family, getting everyone together in one place and at one time is a massive undertaking. And making sure that everyone in attendance knows each other at your next family reunion can be a daunting task.

Using name tags helps to ease almost any burden brought on by planning such an event. But, remember that name tags aren’t just for names! Here are a couple of ideas to help get you going in your event planning.

Basic Identification with Badge Holders

Yup, we said it. Use your badge holders for names! Remember to include first and last, but you can also use these name badges for icebreakers. Add fun facts about each person, or add a conversation starter such as the words, “Ask Me…” to get all the partygoers interested in each other.

Another fun idea is to use name badge holders to indicate family tree lines. Either create your own tree and print it on the inserts or have party attendants draw their own. And, use the fun colors to indicate specific family lines. That way each family member can quickly associate which line they are from.

Don’t forget the games and souvenirs!

There are so many ways to use adhesive name badges at your next family reunion. From games to easy identification, the possibilities are endless. And, one of the easiest things to do at a reunion is play games. These games can be nearly anything. Print on adhesive name badges or have pens available for contestants to write names and others things. With these easy-to-use stickers, everyone can participate in your family reunion games.

No matter your identification choice, use most of our name tag products at your next family reunion!

Even get the kids involved with learning who their cousins are. Send them on a scavenger hunt with a dry erase photo book made from badge holders to find as many relatives as possible. Name tags help to identify each family member so that the kids can find people quickly. Then, take these photo books home as a souvenir of your family reunion.
