FAQs
Do I need different labels for different items, or can one set work for everything?
Our waterproof, dishwasher-safe name stickers work perfectly across most hard-surfaced items! Whether you choose a set of circle, rectangle, or mini name labels, all you have to do is peel and stick one to all your child’s everyday essentials. The only time you’d need a different label type is if you want to tag your child’s clothes, and in that case, shop our [custom clothing labels](https://www.namebubbles.com/collections/clothing-labels)!
Will these name stickers stay on items that get washed often, like water bottles or lunch containers?
Absolutely! We understand the importance of keeping things clean and germ-free, so we designed the most durable labels on the market that stand up to daily cleaning and sterilization! Whether you hand-wash or send items through the dishwasher, our labels will hold up and still look as good as the first day you peel them from the sheet!
At what age do parents usually start labeling their kids’ belongings?
Take it from the labeling experts: begin labeling items when your child starts daycare or when belongings start traveling between home and shared environments. However, it’s never too late to start! Labeling is beyond useful for children of all ages, especially when kids participate in school activities, sports, camps, or after-school programs where items can easily get mixed up.
Are name stickers worth it if my child tends to lose things often?
Without a doubt! Actually, if your child is prone to losing their things, it’s even more important that you label everything before it leaves the house! Even when items are left behind, labeled belongings are much more likely to make their way back home than to sit in a lost and found bin or go home with the wrong kid. Our name labels are bold and legible, making it easy for kids and adults to spot items and quickly recognize who they belong to!
How do I keep my kid from peeling them off?
The "picking" phase is real, we know, but don’t let that deter you from labeling! We’ve made our stickers with a very low profile (meaning they sit incredibly flush to the surface). Without a thick edge to catch a fingernail or cause distraction, most kids forget the sticker is even there after the first day.
Are your name labels non-toxic and safe to use on my child’s belongings?
We don’t cut corners! Our inks are eco-friendly, and we use commercial-grade 3M materials that meet strict international standards (no PFAS used in manufacturing), because what goes on your child’s belongings should never be a compromise.
