10 names. One per line, up to 60.
Names stay in this browser: the labels and the PDF are made on your device, and nothing is sent to our servers.
10 names · 10 labels · 3 sheets A4
Print on A4 at 100% (actual size), not “Fit to page”. Cut from one crop mark to the next: labels touch, so one cut separates two.
How it works
Name labels in four steps
Paste your class list
One name per line, straight from your MIS or a spreadsheet. Names stay in your browser. Surnames in capitals can be removed in one click.
Add subjects for exercise books
Tick English, Maths, Science, Topic… or type your own: every pupil gets one label per subject, with the subject above the name and the class underneath. Leave them unticked for plain name labels.
Pick the handwriting, size and theme
Print, capitals, both, or joined handwriting on guide lines. Peg, desk, exercise book, tray or pencil pot labels, with six illustrated themes or a plain frame.
Print and cut
A4 sheets at 100% (actual size), on paper, card or full-sheet label paper. Labels touch: cut from one crop mark to the next.
Sizes
Which size for what?
Every label prints on plain A4. Print at 100% (actual size) to keep the exact dimensions.

|---|---|---|---|
| Peg label | 18 × 6 cm | 4 | coat peg, classroom door, display |
| Desk label | 9.5 × 4.5 cm | 12 | table place, name card, book box |
| Exercise book | 8 × 4 cm | 12 | exercise book, reading record, homework book |
| Tray label | 9 × 3 cm | 16 | drawer tray, locker, storage box |
| Pencil pot | 6 × 2 cm | 36 | pencil case, pencil pot, small kit |
Handwriting
Print, capitals or joined?
Capitals and print in the Early Years
Children first spot their name in capitals; Capitals + print shows both, one under the other, to make the link to lower-case letters in Reception.
Joined handwriting once letters are secure
The Department for Education’s writing framework suggests joining letters once their formation is secure. The Joined option sets the name on guide lines, ready to trace or copy. Check it matches your school’s handwriting scheme.
A picture for every peg
Each name can get its own picture, the same on the peg, the tray and the drawer: children find their things before they can read.
FAQ
Name label questions
- How do I make exercise book labels for the whole class?
Paste the class list, tick the subjects you use and type the class. The labels come out name by name: all of one pupil’s subjects, then the next pupil. The Exercise book size (8 × 4 cm) prints 12 labels per A4 sheet and fits the cover of an A4 or A5 exercise book.
- What paper should I print on?
Full-sheet A4 sticky label paper is easiest: print, cut and peel. Plain paper or card works too, with glue or tape. Print at 100%, not “Fit to page”, and laminate peg labels so they last the year.
- Are pupil names sent anywhere?
No. The labels are drawn in your browser and the PDF is built on your computer. Names, subjects and class are never stored or sent to our servers.
- Do long or hyphenated names fit?
Yes. The text size adapts to each name, accents and hyphens included, and a two-part name like Mary-Kate moves to two lines when the text gets bigger that way. For very long names, prefer peg or desk labels.
- Can I reuse the class from my seating plan?
Yes, with a free account: classes saved in the seating plan generator in this browser load in one click. Without an account, just paste the list.
