Did you know that the average child permanently loses nine pieces of school kit per year? Unfortunately, this means that parents are having to buy replacement items for stuff they've already bought once! Having to re-buy these items not only has a negative environmental impact but it is also expensive. This is where personalised name tags come in to ensure that things do not get lost and that if lost are returned.

Personalising your labels is simple. Add your chosen name or text, then select from a wide range of colours, backgrounds, fonts and designs to create a label that is easy to recognise and uniquely yours. My Nametags also recommends choosing clear contrast between text and background for the best readability.

Name labels help stop clothes, shoes and school items from getting lost or mixed up. My Nametags highlights that children often lose items at school, and labelling makes it more likely that belongings are returned instead of replaced. This can save money, reduce waste and make everyday organisation easier for families, schools and care settings.

The best label depends on the item you want to name. Stick-on labels are ideal for hard surfaces like water bottles, lunch boxes, bags and school supplies, and can also be applied to clothing care labels. Iron-on labels are best for school uniforms and other garments, especially when there is no care label, such as socks. For smaller items like stationery, mini stickers are a great choice, while maxi stickers work well on larger items.
