Name and class bag tags: slim bag tag for back to school

Name and class bag tags

On the slim bag tag

The name runs up the length of the tag, so it stays large even on long names. Parents order one for each bag a child carries.

Who buys and when

Parents, in the weeks before a new school year starts, and again when children move to a new school or class. A second wave comes from class parents and teachers who want the whole class tagged at once. Day care centres and summer camps buy the same things at different times of year.

How to offer it

Sell a set rather than single tags. A useful starter set is one bag tag for the school bag, a smaller tag with a strap slot for the lunch bag, and a name keychain for the pencil case. For younger children, add the two-sided tag with a phone number on the back.

Ask parents for the name exactly as written at school, the class code and the school name if they want it shown. Send one approval picture before printing: parents will forward it to family, which often brings more orders.

For class orders, collect one list from one person and paste it into the studio to get every file in a ZIP. Our post on school name tags in bulk explains how to collect lists and avoid spelling mistakes. Browse all the bag and school tags for more shapes.

Checklist before term starts

  • Post samples with local names a few weeks early
  • Set a last order date before the first day of school
  • Print in batches by colour to save filament changes
  • Pack each child's set in a labelled bag
  • Keep the names: siblings and next year's class codes bring reorders

Questions

How early should I start promoting?

A few weeks before term begins, when parents buy bags and uniforms. Post sample photos with common local names and class codes so parents can picture their child's tag.

Can I take a whole class order?

Yes. A class parent or teacher can send one list. Paste it into the studio and download a ZIP with one file per child, then pack the tags in list order.

What should a school set include?

A main bag tag, a small tag for the lunch bag or bottle, and a pencil case keychain is a common set. Price the set as one item and sell extras singly.

Which colours work for children?

Bright colours with strong contrast are easiest to read. Some schools prefer the uniform colour, so ask parents before printing.
