These free name tags give you 8 editable Word documents for classrooms, clubs and events: Hello my name is tags, plain name labels, coat peg labels and desk name plates with an alphabet and a 0 to 20 number line, on A4 or US Letter. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. Every new school year starts with name tags, so I made the ones I actually need: Hello My Name Is stickers, desk plates and labels for pegs and trays.
In this guide, you’ll find which name tags suit which job, how to type every name quickly, and how to print and cut them neatly.

Which Name Tags Should You Use?
- Hello my name is tags: first days, visitors, parents’ evenings and events.
- Plain name labels: trays, books, folders and table spots.
- Peg labels: small labels for coat pegs, drawers and lockers.
- Desk name plates: a big name with an alphabet strip and a 0 to 20 number line for reference at every desk.
How to Type Names on Your Name Tags
- Double-click the word Name on a tag to select it.
- Type the name. It stays big, bold and centred.
- Press Tab to jump to the next tag and keep typing.
- Shorten long names or reduce the font size slightly if a name does not fit on one line.
How to Print and Cut Name Tags
Print on thin card for desk name plates and peg labels, or on paper for stick-on name labels. Choose the paper size in the file name at 100%, then cut along the dashed lines. Every sheet keeps a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) margin, so nothing is cut off on home or school printers.
