My Nametags

Personalised name labels for schools, homes and care homes

My Nametags is a company founded in March 2004 by Lars B. Andersen, who started the business out of the need to label his own children's clothing. The company states it has sold labels in over 143 countries over 22 years and presents itself as the first choice in several European countries. Its catalogue focuses on personalised labels and stickers that help prevent the loss of clothing, footwear, school supplies and everyday items.

Types of labels and products

The range is organised into several product families:

• Name Stickers: adhesive stickers for hard surfaces such as bottles, lunchboxes, backpacks and school supplies, and also applicable to clothing care labels.
• Iron On Labels: heat-adhesive labels for school uniforms and other garments, especially when there is no care label, as in the case of socks.
• Ministickers: small-sized stickers for small items such as stationery.
• Maxistickers: larger stickers for items with a larger surface area.
• Gaelic Labels: labels with Gaelic characters.
• Black & White Labels: black and white labels.
• Home Decor: children's home decor including wall stickers, door stickers, posters and height charts.
• Collaborations: collections with Save the Children, Hello Kitty and Mr. Men & Little Miss.

Personalisation allows you to choose name or text, colours, backgrounds, fonts and designs. The company recommends clear contrast between text and background to improve legibility.

Uses and target audiences

The products are designed to identify garments and items in schools, homes and care homes. The site mentions specific applications on clothing, footwear, allergy items, school supplies, sports equipment, lunchboxes and bottles. The company also sells specific labels for care home staff and residents, as well as for parents, teachers and parent-teacher associations (PTA).
