Bag hook and cubby name labels
Name labels for school bag hooks, cubbies and trays. Print one for each child in the class.
Lines up with real label sheets. The Avery sheet layouts (A4 L-codes for Australia, the UK and Europe, and US Letter codes) were measured from Avery's own templates, so each label prints in the right place on that sheet and on other brands' sheets sold as compatible with the same code. Print at 100% (Actual size), and try one page on plain paper first. makekite.com is printed only in a blank sheet margin, never on a label.
Which label sheet to use
This page starts on Avery L7163 (A4, 14 labels per sheet, each 99.1 × 38.1 mm) for A4 printers, or Avery 5162 (US Letter, 14 labels per sheet, each 4 × 1⅓ in) if your browser is set to US English. You can switch to any other sheet, a thermal roll printer or cut-out labels in the Label sheet or printer menu, and the preview changes to match. Check the code printed on your packet of labels: sheets from other brands that say they are compatible with an Avery code use the same layout.
Printing in four steps
- Type your labels, one per line. Use | to start a new line inside the same label.
- Choose your sheet, then set the text size and picture size so each label looks as full as you like.
- If part of a sheet is already used, set Start at label to the first empty label.
- Print at 100% (Actual size), first on plain paper. Hold the test page against a label sheet up to the light, then print on the labels.

Using this page
Names for hooks and cubbies
Print one label per child using the same size and colour for the whole class. Use a clear font and a large size so that younger children can recognise their own name. Stick the label above the hook or on the front of the tray, and cover it with clear tape to protect it from daily wear.
Starting a new year
Keep the list of names in a text file so that you can quickly change it each year. Add a few blank labels for new students who join mid-year. If two children share the same first name, add the initial of the surname.
