A Teacher's Guide: Quickly Create Student Name Tags & Cubby Labels

For teachers, the start of the school year is a race against time. Labeling everything—desks, cubbies, folders, notebooks, and book bins—is essential for a disorganized classroom, but writing 30 names 50 times is exhausting.

Here is how smart teachers are using their digital class rosters to label their entire classroom in minutes using SheetsToLabels.

Use Your Roster, Don't Retype It

You likely have your student list in Google Sheets or Excel. That is your source of truth.

Name: First Name (or First + Last Initial)
Group/Table: (Optional, for color coding)
ID Number: (For login cards)

Top 3 Classroom Uses

1. Desk Name Plates

Create large labels (2x4" or custom) with the student's name in a large, clean font.

Tip: Add an "Alphabet Strip" or "Number Line" image to the bottom of the label design so it serves as a reference tool for the student.

Young students struggle to type URLs.

Create a spreadhseet with columns: Name and LoginURL.
In the Designer, drag a QR Code block and bind it to the LoginURL.
Print small labels to stick on their device or desk. They just scan to log in!

3. Cubby & Hook Labels

Consistency helps classroom management. Print identical labels for coat hooks and cubbies so students can easily find their space. Use a fun icon (apple, star, book) next to their name.

How to Do It Fast

Load Roster: Connect your Google Sheet or upload your Excel roster.
Design Once: Create one "Master Label". Set the font to "Comic Sans" or "Open Sans" for readability.
Batch Print: Generate a PDF with 30 unique labels instantly.

Reusable for Field Trips

Field trip day? Use the same roster, switch to a "Name Badge" template (like Avery 5395), and print sticky badges that include the school's phone number and the student's name.

Save your hand for grading papers. Let SheetsToLabels handle the classroom setup.
