name tape

Sewn-in ownership marker

A name tape is a small strip of fabric or adhesive material printed or embroidered with a person's name, sewn or stuck onto clothing or belongings for identification.

Common in military uniforms, school clothes, and summer camp gear: Mom sewed name tapes into all my shirts before I left for camp.

Also called a name tag or name label.
