Keep The Peace At Story Time With Stick On Name Labels

For many children, books are one of their favourite things in the whole world – which means they’ll want to take those books with them wherever they go. While it’s easy enough (if a bit frustrating) to replace books that go missing, many kids will be upset about losing “their” book – with all of the little marks, tears, and folds that make it their own.

With Stikins® name labels, however, you can help to make it easier for these precious belongings to be returned should they ever go missing. Our stick on name labels have a unique, super sticky adhesive; simply firmly press a name label onto your book and it’s labelled!

This makes it super easy for your children to keep their own copies safe in shared environments. This is especially important in places like school where there could be other (identical) books around. It also makes it super simple for people to return your kids’ books if they should go missing.

You could choose to add just a simple name. This option works best in closed environments where a name is enough to identify an individual. This includes nurseries, schools, and play groups. You could also add a simple message, such as “I Belong To” or “Please Return To”. If your family takes their books on adventures into the wider world, try adding a phone number so they can always be returned.

Stick on name labels are a simple way to help prevent precious belongings disappearing AND they help to encourage children to take on the responsibility of looking after their own belongings.

You can order online or by phone; we supply five pack sizes of 30, 60, 90, 120, and 240 labels, which can be used to label books AND all sort of other cherish belongings, including toys, bags, shoes, and clothes.
