Football lunch bag with a name — an insulated navy cooler bag printed with a football design and your child’s name.
Football is the classic design for Years 2 to 6, and it keeps working longer than most. A dinosaur bag gets outgrown; a football bag usually does not, because the interest does not fade at seven the way it often does with dinosaurs and rainbows. Parents buying a second bag for an older child usually ask for football.
The photograph shows the football print with the name Oliver, photographed on a park bench rather than a classroom desk, because that is where this one tends to end up — training, matches and after-school clubs as much as the school day.
You choose the wording and the font from six styles. A first name in a bold block font is the most practical for a lunch trolley. A surname or a squad number added underneath is worth considering if there are two children with the same first name in the year, which happens more often than you would think.
The design is printed into the white front panel rather than applied on top, so it will not peel at the corners the way an iron-on badge or a name sticker does. Navy was chosen for the body deliberately — it is the colour that shows the least after a season of being dropped on a playground and a pitch.
It is a lunch bag rather than a kit bag, so it is worth measuring before you order if your child uses a particularly large lunch box.

It is a lunch bag rather than a day bag, so it is worth measuring before you order if your child uses a particularly large lunch box — the internal space follows those outside dimensions. Navy was chosen deliberately for the body: it is the colour that shows the least after a term of being dropped on a playground.
Personalisation
Choose a design type first — text only, an image on its own, or text combined with an image. Then type the wording exactly as you want it printed, pick one of six font styles (Script, Serif, Block, Display, Mono or Hand) and choose your text colour.
Short wording prints larger and reads better from across a classroom, which is the whole point of putting it there. A first name in a bold font is the most practical choice for a young child, and it is worth thinking about how they will be addressed at school — print the name they answer to, not the one on the register, if the two differ. Longer lines such as “Sophie’s Snacks” or “Little Chef” work well for older children who want something with a bit more character.
The field accepts up to 250 characters, but a name plus two or three words is the readable limit on a panel this size. If you want ideas, the 60 suggestions in what to write on a personalised apron include plenty of short, child-friendly lines that adapt straight across.
Uploading a photo or drawing? Use a clear PNG, JPEG or SVG file up to 15 MB. Simple designs with strong lines reproduce best; a child’s own drawing scanned or photographed in good light usually works beautifully. The design is printed into the panel rather than sitting on top of it, so it will not peel at the corners the way an iron-on or a name sticker does after a few weeks in a school bag.

Made to order in Cheshire and usually dispatched within 1–3 working days — worth allowing for if you are ordering in the last week of the summer holidays. UK standard delivery is free on every order, with no minimum spend. There is no minimum order and no setup fee: one lunch bag with one child’s name on it is printed on exactly the same terms as a batch for a whole class trip. Personalised bags cannot be returned unless they arrive faulty or are not what you ordered, so please double-check the spelling of the name. Our customisation policy has the full detail, and there are more ideas in gifts under £15.

- Colours can look slightly different on screen depending on your monitor or phone.
- Each one is made to order, so small variations in print placement are possible. Measurements are approximate.

- Will a football bag last longer than a character design?
- Usually, yes. Dinosaurs and rainbows tend to be outgrown around seven; football interest rarely fades at the same point, which is why it is the design we’d suggest for a second bag.
- Can I add a squad number or a surname?
- Yes. A surname or a number underneath the first name is worth adding if there are two children with the same first name in the year. Both print at the same price.
- Is it big enough to take to training as well as school?
- It is a lunch bag rather than a kit bag — 24 cm wide by 18 cm tall by 7 cm deep. It holds a packed lunch and a drink, not boots.
- Does the lunch bag keep food cold?
- It is an insulated cooler bag, which holds temperature for a school day. An ice pack is not included, so add one if you are packing something that needs to stay properly chilled.
- Will the name peel off after a season?
- No. The design is printed into the white front panel rather than sitting on top of it, so there is no edge to lift the way there is with an iron-on badge or a name sticker.
- How long does it take to arrive?
- Made to order in Cheshire and usually dispatched within 1 to 3 working days, with free UK delivery on every order and no minimum spend.
