If your child's notebooks, water bottle and lunch box keep going missing at school, personalized name slips are the easiest fix. They're small, photo-and-name labels you stick onto your child's belongings so everything finds its way home. Here's a simple, parent-friendly guide.
What are name slips?
Name slips (also called name labels or school labels) are personalized stickers printed with your child's name, class and photo. You stick them on books, notebooks, water bottles, lunch boxes, pencil pouches and other school supplies so teachers and classmates can quickly tell whose item it is.
How many name slips do I need?
More than you'd think! Between textbooks, notebooks, stationery and bottles, a typical school bag has 20+ items worth labelling. At Dimple, one order is a single printed sheet of 25 personalized name slips in a standard size — enough to cover a full set of school essentials with a few spare.
Where can you use them?
- Notebooks, textbooks and workbooks
- Water bottles and lunch boxes (choose a sticker that handles daily use)
- Pencil boxes, geometry boxes and stationery
- School bag, art folder and craft supplies
Why personalized (with a photo) beats plain labels
A name-only label works, but a name slip with your child's photo is far easier for young kids and teachers to recognise — especially in nursery and primary classes where children can't always read yet. It also looks adorable and makes your child excited to use their things.
