School lunchbox allergy labels work if an adult can read them before the box is opened. Put a 1.5″ food-allergy sticker on the outside of the lid, and a second sticker on the main container. TagMyAllergy food allergy labels are water-resistant vinyl; a 4-sticker wheat sheet is $5.99. They are a visual reminder, not a medical device.
Where each sticker goes
| Place | Use this sticker | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Outside of the lunchbox lid | Food Allergy Label | Visible before anyone opens the box |
| Main food container | Food Allergy Label | Still marked if the lid is set aside |
| Safe snack cup or bag inside the box | Allergy Safe Mark | Shows which item is safe to grab |
| Water bottle packed with lunch | Food Allergy Label | Stops bottle swaps in the cafeteria |
| Do not use here | EPI Reminder | That sticker belongs on the Epi case, not the lunchbox |
Five rules that keep the label useful
- Put the allergen name on the outside of the lid, not only inside.
- Keep the text upright so a teacher can read it in one second.
- Wipe the surface dry before you stick. Oil and condensation make vinyl lift.
- Do not treat a lunchbox sticker as an EpiPen, an action plan, or a school health form.
- If the print arrives damaged, email photos within 10 days for a free reprint. The sheet is printed after you order, so change-of-mind returns are not available.
Use a Food Allergy Label for the allergen itself. If you also pack a snack that is safe to eat, add an Allergy Safe Mark on that container only.
