Stylish Personalized Labels for Picky Tweens

At my son’s school, the teachers require that all personal items be fully labeled to prevent them from going home with the wrong child. Normally, I just label everything with a Sharpie. However, Mabel’s Labels has some really cool personalized label designs that I think would be perfect for labeling school supplies of all types.

My favorite set of labels is the tween pack featured in this post. My son will be nine soon, but he’s already starting to request more “grown up” looking stuff for school. I think he’d prefer these labels over ones with trains, crayons, or building blocks on them.

The labels can be personalized with your child’s first name, up to a maximum of 10 characters. There are 25 labels in the set, with an assortment of tween friendly designs. The “Sassy” pack has flowers, hearts, and stars with lots of pink and purple. The “Sporty” pack has skateboards, music notes, skulls, and crossbones.

The labels are all dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and UV resistant for maximum durability. They can be used on binders, notebooks, folders, backpacks, water bottles, lunch boxes and anything else that your child needs to keep track of. Since the designs are of varying sizes, they should be suitable for almost anything your child needs to label.

The tween pack of labels sells for $21 on the Mabel’s Labels website. Even though that’s pricey for labels, it’s probably cheaper than having to constantly replace lost items throughout the year.

Have you ever ordered personalized labels for your child’s school supplies? If so, what do you think of this set?
