Customising name labels is one of the best ways to match your child’s style and personality with fun stickers they’ll love. That’s why we offer a wide range of designs and sizes for you to choose from. To make the process as simple as possible, we’ve put together a list of the most important tips to help you design the perfect labels.
Creating personalised name labels will help you prevent your child’s belongings from getting lost. That’s why it’s essential to make sure the text is clear and easy to read. Your child’s name should always be attached to their belongings. Since there are often multiple children with the same name in nursery or school, adding the first letter of their surname can be a helpful addition.
If you’re keen to learn how to design your custom name labels step by step, read on! We’ll walk you through choosing a design, customising your name labels and placing your order!
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Designing Your Name Labels
At Hipi.co.uk, we’ve created a simple and efficient process to help you customise your name labels in just a few minutes. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Choose the Right Name Labels
We offer classic name labels, as well as smaller and larger sizes. You’ll also find iron-on labels and labels specifically for school supplies like pencils. Depending on where you plan to use them and for which items, you’ll need to choose the best option for long-lasting labelling and customisation. Once you have found the one for you, simply click on your preferred choice!
Step 2: Pick a Design
Next, it’s time to choose a design! Every child has their own unique interests, so we’ve carefully curated a wide selection of fun and colourful designs to make their labels extra special. You can choose from categories like:
- Animals
- Nature
- Hobbies
- Vehicles
- Fantasy
- And more!
To make this process even more enjoyable, sit down with your child and have them pick their favourite design. Children are more likely to recognise their labels if they’ve helped pick them out, making it easier for them to identify their belongings later.
You can also select a colour theme to match your child’s preferences. A live preview on the side of the screen will show you exactly how the labels will look in different colours and styles, making it even easier to decide. You can mix and match until you find the perfect fit.
Step 3: Add Your Text
Now it’s time to personalise the labels with your child’s name! The number of characters and lines available will depend on the size of the label you choose. Many parents like to include both the first and last name, and some even add a phone number in case an item gets lost.
Pro tip: We also offer combo packs that include both name labels and iron-on labels, so you’ll have plenty of stickers to label all of your child’s belongings!
And that’s it—just three simple steps and your personalised name labels are ready to order!
Choosing Materials and Designs: Things to Keep in Mind
When designing name labels, it’s important to choose the right type and design. One of the most common questions we receive is about the difference between stick-on name labels and iron-on labels. Here’s what you need to know! Stick-on name labels work best on smooth, synthetic surfaces, such as:
- Backpacks
- Clothing care tags
- Books
- Pencils
- Pencil cases
- Lunchboxes
Some clothing items, like wool garments, don’t have a synthetic tag where a stick-on label will adhere properly. If you’re labelling these items, or if your child has a sensitivity to synthetic labels, you can simply remove the tag and use our iron-on labels instead. This way, you can still label all your child’s belongings effectively.
Both options are washer- and dryer-safe up to 60°C, so they stay securely in place through everyday use.
Choosing a design is a personal decision, and we always recommend involving your child in the process. Picking out the perfect design together makes the experience even more enjoyable—and helps them recognise their belongings more easily!

5 Design Tips to Create the Perfect Name Labels
Parents often ask us for advice on designing the best name labels. To make it easy, we’ve put together our top five tips in the table below so you can create perfect name stickers for your child:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
| Keep It Simple | Short and clear text is best! Make sure the most important information—like your child’s name, class or phone number—is easy to read at a glance. |
| Label More, Not Less | Our sets include multiple labels for a reason! It’s always better to label an extra piece of clothing, a toy or a school supply—children lose things quickly, and labels help them find their way back home. |
| Choose a Child-Friendly Design | Let your child pick a design they love, even if it wouldn’t be your first choice. A fun design makes it easier for them to recognise their belongings. |
| Pick the Right Size | Mini, classic or large labels? Think about where you’ll use them. Small labels work best for tiny spaces like pens, while larger labels stand out on backpacks and lunchboxes. |
| Great for Adults Too! | Name labels aren’t just for children! We offer a range of options for adults as well, perfect for labelling personal items at work, in care homes or in assisted living facilities. |
At Hipi.co.uk, we’ve thought of everything! Our name labels are made with high-quality, durable materials and come with a satisfaction guarantee.
