Personalization Guide

Should I make the last name plural, or add an apostrophe s (‘s)?
The last name should be plural — NO apostrophe s is needed for address labels.

For most last names, add “S” at the end:

Last Name	Plural
Johnson	Johnsons
Lee	Lees
Murphy	Murphys
Smith	Smiths

Add “ES” for last name that end with these letters:

Ends With	Last Name	Plural
S	Ellis	Ellises
Z	Schwartz	Schwartzes
SH	Walsh	Walshes
CH	Aldrich	Aldriches
hard CH	Bach	Bachs
X	Knox	Knoxes
silent X	Bordeaux	Bordeauxs

Are there other alternatives if I don’t want to pluralize the last name?
Yes, you could include the last name only, or add The + Last Name + Family:

Last Name	Alternatives
Cooper	Coopers or The Cooper Family

Can you print special characters, for example, accents, umlauts, etc.?
Yes, we can. If you type it in with the special character, that’s helpful. Please let us know in the notes so we don’t miss it.
