Name Labels

As children enter school or kindergarten, parents are encouraged to label all objects and kids clothing with their child's name. This raises the question of how best to label clothing, shoes, pencil cases, rulers, backpacks, and other items in the child's own handwriting. Custom name stickers, patches, or iron-on labels in a variety of materials can help. 
Name tags for nurseries, kindergartens and schools are a textile miracle cure for lost or confused items.
Wunderlabel offers a large selection of name tags for schools, kindergartens and daycare centers. These are name labels for daycare that you can customize with text, symbols, borders and colors/backgrounds. Here at Wunderlabel you can find out what advantages and disadvantages they have, what types of labels are available for clothing and what you can use them for.

Advantages

- Organization: Personal items are easily identifiable with them. 
- Practicality: Name tags help prevent loss of items, especially for children at school or kindergarten.
- Personalization: You can customize the labels to match your personal style. 

Disadvantages

- Time commitment: Some application methods can be time-consuming, especially if there are many items to label at the same time.

There are different types of name labels made from different materials. At Wunderlabel you can choose between the following name tags and kids labels:

Stickers / name labels

Wunderlabel produces personalized stickers for kids from various types of paper:
- Plain paper: This paper is inexpensive and easy to print on. It is well suited for versatile use on smooth surfaces, but is less durable and can wear out more quickly.
- Kraft paper: Kraft paper is strong and has a rustic look. It is ideal for projects that need a natural look or a handmade, long-lasting impression.
- Coated paper: This paper offers added protection against moisture and scuffing. The coating increases the durability of the material, making it more resistant and long-lasting.

Iron-on labels

Choosing the right material for iron-on labels has a major impact on their durability, functionality and visual quality. Different materials offer different advantages, which can be selected depending on the application.
- Polyester yarn with thermal coating: This material is extremely durable and wash-resistant, making it ideal for use on clothing and textiles. The thermal coating provides a secure and permanent bond to the fabric.
- Polyurethane: Polyurethane is a flexible and durable solution for iron-on labels. It has a smooth and soft surface that is pleasant to the touch and abrasion resistant.
- Water-based printing ink (DTF iron-on labels with names): This water-based ink is environmentally friendly and produces vibrant colors on the labels. It is ideal for printing colorful and detailed designs.

For sewing on

When selecting labels for apparel, material and properties play an important role in ensuring functionality and comfort.
- Polyester Thread: Polyester sewn labels are extremely durable and colorfast. They can withstand frequent laundering without losing color or shape. This material is ideal for garments that are dry cleaned regularly.
- Satin: Satin clothing labels are soft and skin-friendly, making them ideal for sensitive skin and fine clothing. The smooth, glossy surface of satin provides an elegant finish and increases wearer comfort, especially when in direct contact with the skin. It can also enhance high-end clothing.
- Imitation Cotton: Synthetic cotton sewn labels offer the natural look and feel of real cotton labels. They are ideal for customers who want the benefits of an easy-care synthetic material.

Name labels are useful in many areas. They are suitable for both personal and commercial use.

Name tags are convenient. At school, they can be attached to uniforms, gym bags, pencil cases, and textbooks. This prevents mix-ups and makes it easier to find lost items. They are also useful for sports equipment such as jerseys, gym bags or sweatbands to help you find your items quickly. They are ideal for camping equipment such as tents, sleeping bags and backpacks. It keeps things organized and you know everything will be returned. In nursing homes, they help label residents' personal belongings. This helps prevent mix-ups and loss. They are also helpful in daycare centers to clearly assign clothing, backpacks, bottles and personal toys to children.

Commercial use 

They also play an important role in the commercial sector. In retail, stickers are mainly used to label products to provide important information such as company name, product name, price, different sizes or information about the material. In the hospitality industry, iron-on labels are used to identify towels and bathrobes in hotels, for example, to ensure that staff can correctly identify the linen. Iron-on labels and sew-on name tags are also very important for corporate uniforms. They are used to clearly identify employees and ensure a professional appearance. Another example is the labeling of towels in hotels or specialized clinics. This ensures that the towels can be traced and allows for personal identification. In care facilities such as nursing homes, they help to identify residents' personal care items and clothing. This prevents mix-ups and improves organization.
