Camp Labels

A Quick Guide to Choosing Labels for Camp Clothing and Gear

With dozens of campers sharing bunks, laundry machines, and activity gear, even the most careful kid can end up with someone else's sweatshirt. Personalized name labels for clothing and gear turn a potential headache into a non-issue. Here's a look at the labeling options we carry — and what each one is best for.

1. Stick-On Everything Name Labels

These are the most versatile camp labels we offer — and the most popular. Peel-and-stick vinyl labels go on just about anything: tagless clothing, water bottles, flashlights, bunk fans, sunscreen, backpacks, bedding, swimwear, and more. They're durable, dishwasher-safe, and easy enough for campers to apply themselves.

Some of the items families commonly label with stick-ons:

• Clothes and socks
• Water bottles
• Flashlights and fans
• Sunscreen and toiletries
• Backpacks and bags

Anything that might get mixed up can get labeled — and with a pack of stick-ons, your camper can handle it themselves. No heat, no mess.

2. Iron-On Clothing Labels

A step up from iron-on labels for gym class, our iron-on clothing labels offer full customization — choose from over 30 colors and patterns to create a label that fits your camper's personality. They bond directly to fabric for a permanent, laundry-safe hold.

One thing to keep in mind: iron-on labels should be applied by an adult to avoid burns. A great option for parents who want a finished, polished look on their child's camp clothes before they leave home.

3. Clothing Stamps for Sleepaway Camp

A clothing stamp is one of the quickest ways to mark an entire wardrobe before camp. Press it to a tag or fabric and you've got a clear, consistent name on every shirt, pair of socks, and pair of shorts in the bag. Choose from six stamp fonts and fit up to two lines of text — most families go with the child's name and their hometown.

One big advantage: kids can stamp their own clothes. Hand the stamp to your camper and let them do a few items themselves — it's satisfying, quick, and one less thing on your pre-camp to-do list.

4. Laundry Markers

The original camp labeling solution — simple, affordable, and effective. Laundry markers are perfect for families who want a quick, no-fuss way to identify clothes without ordering anything custom. Write your child's initials, a circle, a star, or any consistent symbol in the same spot on every item. Same mark, same place, every garment.

5. Waterproof Camp Stickers for Overnight Camp in the Great Outdoors

For hard-surface gear — toothbrushes, flashlights, sunscreen bottles, battery-operated fans, and bag tags — our basic waterproof camp stickers are exactly what you need. Just peel and stick. They adhere firmly to any smooth, clean surface and come in a cheerful range of colors. Personalize with a name or any message you choose.

Use Personalized Kids' Name Labels for Camp, School, and Life!

Here's a bonus most families don't think about until they're peeling the second roll: the same camp labels you order for summer are just as useful the rest of the year. Back-to-school season, sports gear, sleepovers, trips to the pool — anywhere things get mixed up or misplaced, a name label does its job. Order a camp pack and keep the extras on hand. You'll use them.
