When it comes to your child attending school or daycare, name labels stickers are an essential purchase to keep track of their belongings and ensure that they return home at the end of the school day. At many schools, it is a requirement that all stationary and belongings such are their school uniform, lunch box and water bottle are clearly labelled. The best name labels for school will be durable and flexible, as well as easy to use and read.
If your kid is starting kindy check with your school to see if you need to individually label all the school supplies listed on their book list as some schools prefer to pool the supplies together for everyone to use in the early years so no labelling is required.
There are many school label companies to choose from that offer high-quality name labels that are microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, steriliser & freezer safe and can be customised to your child’s preference with cute images and a variety of fonts and colours.
Many companies offer a bundle pack that includes all your labelling essentials in one handy label pack which are usually great value for money.
From labels that can be written with a dry-erase marker to labels that are designed to never fall off, here are some of the best ways you can make labelling your child’s belongings a breeze this school year!
