Type the names, pick a style, print. Every tag carries Santa’s real signature and his North Pole stamp, taken from our own letters, so nobody recognizes your handwriting on Christmas morning. No email, no sign-up, and it works on a phone.
Swap in your own names. Each name gets two tags, up to 12 names.
Tag style
Letter paper, 8 tags a page. On a phone, choose “Save as PDF” in the print menu.
How to use them
- Print on cardstock if you have it; plain paper taped to the wrapping works too.
- Cut along the edge of each tag and punch the hole where the circle is.
- Keep Santa’s gifts in wrapping paper that never appears under your name.
Rather sign them yourself? Here is what Santa’s signature looks like, and how to sign as him without getting caught.
Why a signed tag beats your best handwriting
Children check handwriting the way a bank does: they compare it to the writing they already know. Yours is on lunch notes, permission slips and the fridge calendar, and a seven-year-old has studied all of it for years. That is how most parents get caught, and it is almost always the tag that does it, not the letter.
A signature is different. There are no letters to compare, because nobody reads a signature letter by letter. It is one fast gesture that the eye takes in whole. The signature on these tags is Santa’s own, written in red ink and photographed from one of our letters, together with the North Pole stamp that goes on the envelope. Type the names, print, and the only handwriting on the gift is his.
One rule if you use them: keep the same signature every year. Kids save tags. A Santa whose hand changes every Christmas raises exactly the question you were avoiding.
Printing tips
- Paper: cardstock holds a hole punch and feels like a tag. Plain paper works if you tape it flat to the wrapping instead of hanging it.
- Colour: turn on background colours in your print settings, or the Santa red and brown paper tags come out white. Parchment prints fine either way.
- Size: eight tags to a US Letter page, two across, each one 3.5 by 2 inches.
- On a phone: press Print, then choose “Save as PDF” and print it later, or send it straight to a wireless printer.
- Ink: the tags are mostly paper colour and thin lines, so a full page costs very little ink.
Questions
Is this really free? Yes. No email, no account, nothing to sign up for. We sell letters from Santa; the tags are the part we give away.
How many names can I use? Up to twelve, and each name prints twice, so a dozen children fill three pages.
Can I use them for the elf? Yes. A tag signed by Santa works for anything that arrives overnight, including whatever the elf brought with him.
Will my child recognise the signature from somewhere? Only if they have had a letter from us, which is rather the point: the tag and the letter are signed by the same hand.
What do I write on the tag? The name, and nothing else. “To Emma, From Santa” has been enough for two hundred years. If you want words in Santa’s voice, take them from our sample letters from Santa.
Do the tags work on a black and white printer? They do. Choose the parchment style; the signature and stamp print as grey and still look hand-stamped.
If you’d rather Santa wrote the whole thing, he does that too: a letter written by hand in red ink, with their best friend and their Christmas wish in it, mailed in a red envelope with a North Pole return address. See the handwritten letter or get the free printed one (free letter, $6.99 shipping).
