Free kids name label template

How it works

1. Paste the class list. Copy rows from Excel or Google Sheets, with the heading row, or upload the file. Include a First name column, a Last name column and a Class column if you have one. Each row becomes one label.
2. Pick the sheet. Choose Avery® 5160 for books and folders, or a smaller sheet for pencil boxes. If your pack uses a size that is not on the list, use the Custom size option.
3. Set the wording and print. Put the first name in big letters and the last name under it. Print a test on plain paper, then print at 100%.

Make name labels

Sheets for names

Pick the sheet that matches the item. Bigger labels fit more text, and smaller labels fit small items:

One list, one label each

A class list is the fastest way to make labels for a whole group. Each child gets one row, and each row becomes one label. Sort the list by name or by class before you paste it, so the sheets are easy to hand out. If you need a whole sheet with one name, put that name in every row.

Common problems

• The name runs off the label. Use a shorter name size, or move the last name to the next line. Keep the same size for every child where you can.
• The labels do not line up. Check the paper size, turn off Fit to page and print at 100%. Then hold a test page over a sheet.
• A child appears twice. Sort the list by name and look for repeated rows before you print the full class.

Ideas you can type

The AI helper changes every label at once. Try asking for:

• "Put the first name in big letters and the class in small type under it"
• "Make the labels where Class is Room 3 blue"
• "Make the labels where Bus is Yes green"
• "Sort the labels by last name"
• "Add the school logo at the top of every label" (after you add your logo in the Design step)

Before you print

• Check the spelling. Compare the labels with the class list before you print the full sheet.
• Print at 100%. Turn off Fit to page, or the names may shrink.
• Keep one test sheet. Hold a printed test over a blank sheet to check the lines.

Tips

• Use separate First name and Last name columns, so you can size each one.
• Keep the same font and size for every child, so the sheet looks even.
• If a name is long, shorten the text for that label only.
• Print a few spare labels for mistakes or new children.
• For a list in a spreadsheet, see how to print labels from Excel. You can also find free Word and PDF templates for every sheet.
