New Designs Blend Cuteness with Clarity for Young Children

The latest collection is meticulously crafted, with a keen eye for both aesthetics and functionality. Among the new additions are the much-loved ‘Mochi Animals’—chubby versions of polar bears, rabbits, dogs, and cats, now vibrant with color. These characters are not just cute; their distinct forms are easily recognizable by children aged 0 to 3, serving as a personal ‘my mark’ even before they can read.

Expanding their ‘Puchi Series,’ ‘Seal DE Name’ has also introduced standalone designs for popular requests like excavators and ambulances, previously only available in mixed sets. Joining these are the charming Mendako (flappy-eared deep-sea octopus) and Momonga (flying squirrel), bringing the ‘Puchi Series’ to a grand total of 51 varieties. These designs reflect a deep understanding of children’s interests, ensuring every child finds a seal that resonates with them.

Two Decades of Evolution Driven by Customer Voices

‘Seal DE Name’ boasts a rich history spanning over 24 years, beginning in 1998 with orders taken via fax and postcards before transitioning to an online shop four years later. This enduring presence has allowed the company to consistently evolve, adapting its name seals to meet the changing needs of children as they grow. The brand’s commitment to quality and design is evident in its designer-led approach, ensuring that each seal is not just a label but a small piece of art.

Throughout its history, ‘Seal DE Name’ has implemented several key improvements based directly on customer feedback:

  • Balance Checked for Readability: From its analog beginnings, every name’s text balance has been individually checked and adjusted by designers to ensure optimal readability. This meticulous process continues today, even with system automation, guaranteeing that names are always clear and easy to see.

  • Two-Line Service: Responding to requests for including class names, a free two-line service was introduced. This allows for not only class names but also furigana (phonetic Japanese script) above kanji, a highly appreciated feature.

  • Variety of Sizes: Recognizing that needs change with age, ‘Seal DE Name’ offers sheets with a range of sizes, from extra-large to ultra-small. This thoughtful curation caters to both first-time users and those with specific size requirements.

  • School-Standard & Traditional Characters: The seals accommodate hiragana characters as taught in Japanese schools (such as ‘ki,’ ‘sa,’ ‘so,’ ‘ri’), making them ideal for children learning to read. They also support kanji and Roman characters, with an option for old-style kanji, providing peace of mind for families with specific character needs.
