Daycare Labels — Personalized Name Labels for Bottles, Clothes & Everything in Between

Dropping your child off at daycare means every bottle, outfit, bag, and pacifier needs a name on it before it leaves your house. Our personalized daycare labels are waterproof, dishwasher safe, and built to survive daily sterilizing, washing, and the general chaos of a shared childcare environment. We’ve been making labels for daycare families since 2011 — BBB accredited and made to order in Little Rock, Arkansas.


Common Questions About Daycare Labels

What items need labels for daycare?

Most daycares require a name on everything that goes in your child's bag — bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, food containers, clothing, blankets, and shoes. Waterproof labels handle the hard surfaces (bottles, containers, lids), while clothing labels in iron-on or peel-and-stick formats cover garments and soft items. A complete label pack gives you every size in one order so nothing gets missed before the first drop-off.

Which daycare label pack should I choose?

It depends on your child's age. Our Infant & Baby Daycare Label Pack is sized for newborn gear — bottles, pacifiers, and the smaller items infants carry. Our Daycare Label Pack covers toddlers and older kids, with larger sizes for sippy cups, lunch containers, and bigger gear. Both include matching clothing label options.

What is the best way to label clothes for daycare?

For labeling clothes for daycare, you have two options depending on the garment. Our original Peel ‘n Stix stick-on clothing labels press directly onto the care tag or tagless imprint in seconds — no ironing required, machine washable, and removable when the clothes are passed down. Our iron-on clothing labels bond permanently into the fabric — cotton setting, no steam, 60–90 second press-and-lift, 24-hour cure. Iron-on for socks, underwear, and uniforms; stick-on for jackets, outerwear, and anything you’d rather not iron. Both survive the laundry without peeling or fading.

How do I label socks for daycare?

Iron-on clothing labels are the best option for socks — they bond directly into the fabric and hold through stretching and washing in a way that stick-on labels can’t on stretchy material. Use the cotton setting, no steam, press for 60–90 seconds without lifting, and let them cure for 24 hours before the first wash. Place the label on the underside of the sock cuff where it’s visible when the sock is inside out but not irritating on the foot. If the socks have a care tag, a stick-on clothing label on the tag works well too.

Are daycare labels dishwasher safe?

Yes — every waterproof label we make is dishwasher safe, microwave safe, sterilizer safe, and freezer safe. They’re built for the daily demands of a daycare environment: multiple dishwasher cycles per day, steam sterilizers, bottle warmers, and fridge storage. Apply to a clean, dry surface and let them cure for 24 hours before the first dishwasher run, and they’ll hold through the full year without peeling, fading, or leaving adhesive residue when removed.

Do daycare labels need to be waterproof?

Yes — waterproof labels are essential for daycare. Bottles go through dishwashers and sterilizers daily, sippy cups get rinsed and refilled constantly, and containers go into the fridge and microwave. Paper labels and regular stickers won’t survive a single cycle. Our waterproof labels use a permanent adhesive designed for wet, heated environments — they won’t peel in the dishwasher, fall off in the fridge, or fade after repeated sterilizing.
