Christmas Label Templates

The holidays are a blur. There are so many things to plan and do. So it's inevitable that things are bound to slip through the cracks. In this article, we're addressing one little detail that goes a long way into upping your personalized approach to the Christmas – label templates. Label templates are a nice yet simple way to personalize all your communication this holiday season.

Why a Label Template?

But what are label templates?

They are thematic placeholders that you can use to attach to your gifts, letters, packages, and Christmas cards. You can use label templates as labels (think address labels) or as gift tags (to tie on gift boxes, gift bags), or simply as Christmas decoration (attach to anything you want!)

For making the labels, you have two options: paper or sticker.

Paper: print your labels on nice heavy card stock, colored or black and white, cut them out, punch a hole, tie on your gift with a cute tie.

Sticker: print your labels on special sticker paper, detach, then place on your gifts, cards, or letters.

In this article, we will give you some of our favourite Christmas label templates with different themes, holiday messages, and printing formats.

Oh, and you have a lot of people on your Christmas list, then writing out a label for each person might be too time-consuming. If handmade place cards, Christmas cards, or invitations are not your thing, there is a clever alternative – mail merge using your email. You just enter all the information into an Excel file, and your electronic Christmas cards or invitations can be easily mass emailed.

Avery

First up we have these classic, versatile Christmas label templates from Avery. These are basic, functional printable Christmas designs with ample space for your text. You can choose from different formats from one of three categories: Christmas gift tag template, Christmas card, or Christmas gift tag template.

Avery allows you to customize these before you print them off. You can type out all the info, build the templates, and then print them off when you're ready to go. They come in various sizes for added customization.

We really like the simple, minimal designs. There are a bunch of classic holiday looks to choose from, and you'll surely find something you like. Oh, and best of all, they're free! And while there are extra paid options if you desire, we think the free label templates are more than good enough.

The Inspiration Board

Here are some awesome, extremely simple Christmas Gift Tags from The Inspiration Board. We really like these tags because of their stylish minimalism – a simple holiday “Merry Christmas” message, on a clean white background. Black and white or red and white? You decide. We also like the classic “gift tag” shape, with a spot for a hole-punch as well.

If you're looking for that classic gift tag look, and want a simple template to mark all your holiday gifts, then you can't go wrong with this free template. One thing to keep in mind here is that you get free pdf templates, not an editable Photoshop file where you can change things like font and text. If this holiday label is not exactly what you need, then you might want to consider other options on this page.

Online Labels

Online Labels is a website that focuses on (you guessed it) labels! As a result, there are tons of options to choose from.

There are label templates for different purposes, in all sorts of different designs, shapes, and sizes. You can customize them right on the webpage, and you have the option to print or purchase high-quality pre-printed labels from the website.

This is definitely a premium option, which also means it's not free. But if you're looking for convenience and customization, this is it. They have so many great printable Christmas labels that you're sure to find one that meets your needs.

HGTV

Here's a curated list that we found on the HGTV blog. HGTV compiled a bunch of free label templates for you to use. You will find free printable labels in various designs like famous, black & white, fun, graphic, party, handmade, etc.

You'll have to do a bit of digging because there are 75 designs on that page, and not all of them are labels. This page includes things like Christmas wraps, handmade gift ideas and cards, coloring pages, place cards, calendar tags, ornaments, and other Christmas craft goodies.

Vecteezy

Vecteezy is another great service with plenty of high-quality templates. Although there are some “free” options available, most of the designs are not free. But what you are getting here is many high-quality graphic images, and not just template designs.

What sets Vecteezy apart is the quality of its designs. Another neat feature is that you can edit designs right there in their editor – although this is something you will need to pay for.
