Frequently Asked Questions
What label size is best for school supplies?
For small items (pencils, rulers), use tiny labels like Avery 5167 (80/sheet). For books and folders, Avery L7160 (21/A4 sheet) or Avery 5160 (30/Letter sheet) work perfectly. For thermal printers, DYMO 11354 (57×32mm) is the ideal compact label.
Can I print waterproof school labels?
OpenLabelMaker exports PDF files — you can print on any label stock, including waterproof/weatherproof labels. Buy waterproof label sheets (available from Avery and others) and print normally. Or cover standard labels with clear packing tape for a DIY waterproof solution.
Can I add images or colours to school labels?
Yes. Add background colours, upload images (like a small icon or photo), choose from 158 fonts, and adjust font sizes. You can create labels that are easy for young children to recognise even before they can read.
