Labels for every part of life
From the uniform in the wash to the lunchbox in the dishwasher, here's which label works where - and how long it lasts.
Iron-on uniform name labels
- Survives the wash
- Iron-on
- Fade-resistant print
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.
Lunchbox & container labels
- Dishwasher safe
- Microwave safe
- Wipe-clean
Lunchboxes and food containers go through the dishwasher most nights, so their labels need to handle heat, steam and detergent without curling or fading. Our dishwasher-safe lunchbox labels are designed exactly for that — a durable, water-resistant finish that stays stuck and stays readable wash after wash. They're a smart fit for lunchboxes, snack pots, bento containers, cutlery and drink bottles, turning a sea of identical containers into ones that clearly belong to your child.
Application is quick: wash and thoroughly dry the surface, peel the label and press it firmly onto a smooth, flat area — then leave it 24 hours before its first wash for the strongest bond. Personalised with your child's name (and an optional icon little ones recognise before they can read), they make it easy for teachers and classmates to return a stray container.
Waterproof shoe labels for kids
- Waterproof
- Rub-resistant
- Fits shoes & gumboots
Shoes get kicked off at the door, swapped at sport and lost at the pool — and they take more punishment than almost anything else your child owns. Our waterproof shoe labels are built for it: a tough, wipe-clean finish that shrugs off scuffs, sweat and puddles without the print rubbing away. Sized to fit neatly inside school shoes, sneakers, gumboots and sandals, they stick firmly to the insole or inner heel and stay there.
Application takes seconds — make sure the surface is clean and dry, peel the label and press it down firmly for a lasting bond. Because they're personalised with your child's name, a mismatched or missing shoe is easy to reunite with its owner, whether it's ended up in the wrong cubby or the lost-property box. Pair them with our clothing and bag labels for a full back-to-school set.
Waterproof drink bottle labels
- Waterproof
- Wipe-clean
- Fits curved bottles
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.
Clothing labels that survive the wash
- Laundry safe
- Iron-on
- Won't peel
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.
Why label everything? Because lost property adds up
Every term, schools fill baskets with unnamed jumpers, drink bottles and shoes that never find their way home — and every unnamed item is one you end up replacing. Labelling isn't about being precious; it's the single easiest way to cut what your child loses over a year, and to take the daily 'where's my hat?' stress out of the morning. A name on every item means teachers and classmates can hand things straight back, your child can spot their own gear in a shared tub, and the lost-property pile shrinks. It takes one quiet evening to label a whole kit — and it pays for itself the first time a named lunchbox or jacket comes home instead of disappearing. Personalised for school, built to last, and done in minutes.

Name label FAQs
Are these labels dishwasher safe?
Yes — our lunchbox, container and drink bottle labels are made to be dishwasher safe. Apply them to a clean, dry surface and leave 24 hours before the first wash for the best hold.
Will the labels stay on after washing?
Our clothing labels are laundry-safe: iron-on labels fuse into the fabric and stick-on labels grip the care tag, both designed to survive repeated washing and drying without peeling.
What's the difference between iron-on and stick-on labels?
Iron-on labels bond permanently into fabric with a quick press of a hot iron — best for uniforms and clothing. Stick-on labels need no iron: peel and press onto the care tag or a smooth surface. Many parents use iron-on for clothes and stick-on for everything else.
How many labels come in a pack?
Pack sizes vary by product and are listed on each product page — most packs include a generous mix of sizes so you can label everything in one order.
Are the labels waterproof?
Yes — our shoe, bottle and lunchbox labels use a water-resistant, wipe-clean finish that stands up to spills, condensation and everyday handling.
How do I apply the labels?
Most labels are peel-and-stick: clean and dry the surface, peel, and press firmly. Iron-on clothing labels are applied with a hot iron for the time shown in the instructions. Either way it takes seconds per item.
Can I personalise the design and name?
Absolutely — choose a design, add your child's name and an optional icon, and preview it live before you order.
