We believe there is a nametag out there for everyone! Deciding which type is perfect for you depends on where you would like to use them. Are you labelling clothing, stationery, shoes, toys? Regardless of look, this will be the deciding factor for your decision. Once you have considered this you should look at the differences between label types:

STICKERS are the most popular nametags. They are very versatile as they can be used on stationery and other school supplies, toys, clothes (on care label), water bottles, and even on shoes. Our personalised name label stickers are 100% waterproof, dishwasher safe, microwave safe, steriliser safe and can go in the washing machine/tumble dryer. Each sticker label is 30x13 mm and are available in a wide range of designs including exclusive Hello Kitty and Mr. Men sticker designs.

These mini labels are ideal school name labels as they come in a set of 175 which means you are able to identify all the pens, pencils and crayons. They should not, however, be used on clothing. Our ministickers are dishwasher and microwave safe. Each ministicker is 16x6mm.

MAXISTICKERS come in different shapes and sizes to give you more variety. Circles, squares and rectangles all in one set!
