The Best Label Makers for Back-to-School Organizing in 2022

One satisfying way to get ahead of staying on task during the school year: Reorganize your supplies and workspace at home with the help of a label maker. These devices make it easy to DIY customized, self-stick adhesive strips for practically any purpose. The possibilities are endless: You can label binders to identify them by subject, add tabs to planners, and even emblazon your child’s perennially misplaced lunch box with their name. At home, paste labels onto drawers and files to help tidy up your growing archive of artworks, notes, and documentations. Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite label-making products. But proceed with caution: Once you get your hands on one of these, you might not be able to stop.
