Best Kids Name Labels for School & Daycare in Australia
Getting ready for a new school or daycare year?
From lunch boxes and drink bottles to uniforms, hats and school bags, it’s amazing how quickly kids’ belongings can go missing. Personalised Name Labels make it easy to identify your child’s belongings, helping teachers, educators and classmates return misplaced items instead of sending them straight to lost property.
Why Bright Star Kids Name Labels Are the Best Choice for Australian Families
For over 20 years, Bright Star Kids has helped Australian families stay organised for school and daycare. Losing belongings isn’t just frustrating, it adds up in cost, so labelling everything before the year begins is one of the easiest ways to save time, money and stress.

How Easy Are Bright Star Kids Name Labels to Apply?
Most families can label everything they need in around 30 minutes. No glue, no laminating, no mess.
Stick-On Name Labels
Clean and dry the surface, peel the label, press firmly into place, and let the adhesive bond before washing.
Stick-On Clothing Labels
Peel, stick and press firmly onto the care tag. No sewing or ironing needed.
Iron On Clothing Labels
Position the label on the fabric and apply heat with a household iron, following the instructions.
Clothing Name Stamp
Stamp directly onto the fabric. One stamp can personalise hundreds of items in seconds.
Tips for labels that last even longer:
- Apply to a clean, dry surface
- Press firmly over the entire label
- Allow the adhesive to fully bond before washing
- Apply clothing labels only to garment care tags (unless using Iron-On Labels or a Name Stamp)
Which Label is Best For Your Family?
Choosing the right label depends on what you’re labelling, but many families choose a combination so every item is covered before school starts.
