We all know that labeling your kids’ stuff is super important; it prevents lost stuff and, therefore, costly re-purchases! Stops lost & found bins from overflowing and helps kids and parents stay organized. Plus, name labels prevent germy mix-ups and swaps. Teachers can’t possibly keep track of the items each kid in the class belongs to; it takes up their time and is impossible. Kids’ name labels allow teachers to know who’s is who’s with one quick glance, allowing them to focus their time on teaching our kids.

Mabel’s Labels has been around for over 20 years and is the expert in kids’ name labels. This time of year, the Back-to-School label combos are one of the top items parents want to purchase. But where do you begin? We’ll break down the best school labels to make your back-to-school label shopping easier!

The Little Kid School Combo:     

40 Small Rectangle Labels
70 Tag Mates Stick on Clothing Labels
16 Left-Right Match-up Shoe Labels (That’s 8 pairs of shoes!)

Parents of Little Kids heading to school for the first time really love this label pack! The left-right shoe labels make it easy for kids to a) find their shoes, but also b) put them on their correct feet! This feature is great, as kindergarteners are often left to put their own shoes and jackets on. You don’t want your kids spending the day in mixed-up shoes!

At this age, just seeing their name on labels helps them stay organized; often, their items are new, and it can be confusing what’s theirs, so labels help with name recognition but helps them stay organized. Seeing their name on things gives them a sense of pride in their stuff, and they’re more likely to care for it.

Buy this label pack if…
Your little one is just starting school and learning to put their shoes on. And if they need to label their clothing, school supplies and lunch items.

The designs include terrazzo, camo, tie-dye, geometric 90’s geometric, and so many funky, subtle, and trending designs that they can match to their water bottles, phone case and more.

The small labels included in this pack are great for chargers, electronics and other high-ticket items your tweens and teens are taking to school that you definitely don’t want going missing!

Bag Tags: 

These plastic tags are perfect for identifying backpacks, gym bags and more. Pick a design to match your labels. The Mini Tags are great for pencil cases, lunch bags and boxes.

School Uniform Label Pack:

This label pack is great if you have school uniform items that need labeling. Uniforms are great, but the look-a-like items make them easy to mix-up and go missing, so this label pack of Tag Mates and Shoe Labels will prevent that from happening.

The Custom Clothing Stamp:  

A top seller! The quickest and easiest way to stamp clothing. This multi-award-winning product is a favorite with parents!

Pro tip: These are GREAT for labeling underwear for your little ones when you’re still potty training and need to take lots of pairs to daycare or kindergarten.

Tag Mates Stick On Clothing Labels:

Included in all combos, these little clothing labels are laundry-safe and loved by all! They are also known as mini labels and work great for identifying chargers and smaller items. Many parents like to add these to their order to use them in multiple ways!

When applying them to clothing tags, you must remember that they attach to the tag itself and not directly to the fabric. After applying, wait 24 hours before putting your items in the laundry.
