Personalisation Guide
Everything you need to know in about three minutes — fonts, icons, sizes, and exactly where each label goes.
How ordering works
- Type the name — up to 20 characters, plus an optional second line for a class, year group or room number.
- Pick your style — four fonts, six colour themes and twelve icons. The live preview on every product page shows exactly how it will print.
- Choose your pack size and add to basket. Tick “Email me a proof first” if you'd like to approve the design before we print (adds one working day).
- We print within 48 hours and post letterbox-friendly by Royal Mail.
Which label goes where?
| Item | Best label | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Water bottle | Large waterproof sticker | Wrap on a flat section, not over a seam |
| Lunchbox | Lunchbox label | Lid corner — visible when stacked |
| Uniform & PE kit | Stick-on tag label or iron-on | Stick-on for speed, iron-on for 60°C washes |
| Shoes & wellies | Shoe pair labels | Under the tongue or on the insole heel |
| Books & stationery | Medium/mini stickers | Inside front cover survives longest |
| Care home clothing | Large-print iron-on | Inside back collar or hem — laundry teams check there first |
Fonts
Classic — clear and rounded, teachers' favourite. Playful — chunky and friendly. Handwritten — soft and personal. Fancy — flowing script, lovely for water bottles (less ideal for very long names).
Getting the strongest stick
Clean, dry, room-temperature surfaces. Press firmly for 10 seconds. Wait 24 hours before the first wash. That's it — the adhesive does the rest.
💡 Rule of thumb for pack sizes: one child starting school typically uses 40–60 labels across uniform, bottle, lunchbox, shoes and stationery. The 60-pack or the Back-to-School Mega Pack covers it comfortably.
