Back to School Name Labels For Uniforms, Lunchboxes & More

Uniforms take a beating — daily wear, hot washes and the tumble dryer — so a uniform name label has to hold on. Our personalised uniform name labels come in two styles so you can pick what suits each item. Iron-on name labels bond permanently into the fabric of jumpers, shirts and PE gear, staying put wash after wash without peeling at the corners. Stick-on clothing labels are the no-iron option: press them onto the care tag and they're ready in seconds — ideal for items you'd rather not iron.

Both are printed with fade-resistant ink so your child's name stays clear all year, not a faded smudge by term two. Applying them is easy: for iron-on, place the label, press with a hot iron for the stated time and let it cool; for stick-on, clean the tag, peel and firmly press. Every label is personalised with your child's name so lost jumpers find their way back from the lost-property pile.

There's no point labelling clothes if the label washes off after a fortnight. Our laundry-safe clothing labels are made to survive real family laundry — repeated hot washes, the dryer, and the occasional forgotten-in-the-bag soak. Choose iron-on labels to fuse permanently into the fabric, or stick-on labels that grip the care tag with no ironing required. Either way the print stays sharp and the label stays attached, so jackets, hats and sports gear come home instead of joining the lost-property mountain.

They sit flat so they won't scratch or irritate, and each one is personalised with your child's name for instant identification. To apply, follow the simple iron-on or peel-and-press steps and you're done in under a minute per item. Labelling clothes properly is the single easiest way to cut down what your child loses at school over a year.

Drink bottles are refilled, dropped and left on the field daily — and a soggy paper label doesn't stand a chance. Our waterproof drink bottle labels are made from a wipe-clean, water-resistant material that keeps your child's name crisp even after constant handling and condensation. They're shaped to wrap neatly around curved bottles and sit flat without bubbling, and they hold firm against knocks and spills.

To apply, clean and dry the bottle, peel the label and smooth it on from one edge to avoid air bubbles, then leave it before the first wash for maximum grip. A named bottle almost always comes back, so they're one of the highest-value items to label — a lost drink bottle a week adds up fast. Personalise yours with a name and icon, and match them to your lunchbox and container labels for a coordinated set.

Backpacks, sports bags and equipment are the big-ticket items that hurt to replace — and the ones most likely to be left on a bus or a sideline. Our bag and equipment labels are larger and extra-tough, made to survive being dragged, dropped and rained on while keeping your child's name clearly visible. Use them on backpack straps and inner panels, PE and sports bags, togs bags, music cases and larger gear.

Some styles include iron-on bag labels for fabric items and durable stick-on labels for smooth surfaces, so you can match the label to the material. Application is the usual quick peel-and-press (or iron-on for fabric), and a firmly-applied label lasts the whole year. A clearly named bag is far more likely to be handed in than an anonymous one — and it saves you replacing an expensive backpack mid-term.
