The trunk is theirs the moment they personalize it. Something happens when a kid puts their name on something—it becomes home base, their corner of the cabin, the place where everything that matters to them lives for the summer. At Everything Summer Camp, we've spent decades helping campers make that claim, and we've got more ways to make a trunk one-of-a-kind than anyone else out there.
Here's a guide to everything we offer—so you can pick the right combination for your camper and send them off with a trunk that's unmistakably theirs.
Our Favorite Ways to Decorate Camp Trunks
Camp trunk decorating doesn't have to be complicated. Whether your camper knows exactly what they want or needs a little inspiration, these are our go-to options for personalizing a trunk—from quick and easy to impressively custom.
LidSkinz
The most dramatic trunk makeover we offer, LidSkinz cover the entire top surface of your camp trunk with a custom-designed metal panel. This isn't a sticker—it's a full graphic printed on metal and secured with hardware directly to the lid. You design it yourself using our online LidSkinz designer tool: add your camper's name, choose colors, upload artwork, pick a theme. The result is a trunk lid that stops people in their tracks.
LidSkinz ship installed on new trunks or as a standalone panel you apply yourself with easy instructions. Either way, the finished product is bold, durable, and completely personalized.
Nameplates and Signature Signs
For a clean, classic look, our metal nameplates are a perennial favorite. The Basic Nameplate is a simple, no-fuss way to put your camper's name on their trunk—great for camps with a more understated vibe or for families who want something polished and practical. Step it up with a One-of-a-Kind Nameplate and add more personalization to the mix.
Want something with even more personality? Our Signature Signs are personalized metal name signs that include a graphic of your choice alongside the name—available in square or rectangular shapes with an adhesive backing. They work on trunks, lockers, cubbies, and more. It's a small touch that makes a big difference when a hundred trunks are lined up in the same cabin.
Trunk Stickers
There's something timeless about covering a camp trunk in stickers. It's a tradition—one that gets better every summer as the collection grows. Our ESC Sticker Packs and Name-Tac-Stick Personalizable Sticker Sets give campers a ready-made starting point, while our camp logo sticker sets let them rep their specific camp with official artwork from hundreds of different programs across the country.
Stickers are easy to apply, fun to collect, and they tell a story. By the time your camper is a senior, that trunk is a scrapbook.
Camp Logos
We carry official decal sets for hundreds of summer camps—11-piece sets featuring camp logos in various sizes, ready to go on trunks, water bottles, and gear. If your camper's camp is in our library, this is one of the easiest ways to show some serious camp pride right from day one. Check our collection to see if your camp is represented.
FAQs About Decorating Camp Trunks
Yes—and it's easier than you might think. Our LidSkinz designer tool lets you build a fully custom lid graphic online, with your camper's name, colors, and design elements. For a simpler option, nameplates and Signature Signs also put your child's name front and center with no design work required.
Most stickers and decals are semi-permanent—they adhere firmly enough to stay put through a full summer of camp life, but they can be removed without damaging the trunk. LidSkinz are more permanent by design, as they're installed on a metal panel with hardware. If you ever need to remove a LidSkinz panel, it's designed to be taken off and replaced.
Stickers typically have a paper or vinyl backing and are applied directly to the surface—great for building up a collection over time. Decals are usually vinyl-based, slightly more durable, and often larger. Our camp logo decal sets and LidSkinz fall into the decal category, while our sticker packs are more collectible in nature.
Our decorations are designed specifically for the rough-and-tumble reality of camp life—that means travel, outdoor storage, humidity, and daily use. LidSkinz in particular are built to last, printed on metal and secured with hardware rather than adhesive alone. Nameplates and Signature Signs are metal with adhesive backing that holds up well under normal camp conditions.
Absolutely. The inside of a trunk lid is prime real estate—many campers line it with photos, stickers, notes from friends, or small mementos. It's a great way to personalize the space without worrying about exterior wear and tear, and it turns the trunk into something even more personal when it's open.
Clean the surface first—any dust, oils, or residue can prevent a strong bond. Apply decals on a dry surface at room temperature, smooth out air bubbles as you go, and give them a little time to fully set before the trunk is packed or shipped. LidSkinz come with easy-to-follow instructions, and our team is always available to help if you have questions.
For most stickers and decals, yes. Many families treat it as a summer ritual—stripping off the old and adding new stickers, upgrading to a new nameplate design, or replacing a LidSkinz panel as their camper's interests evolve. It's one of the things that makes a camp trunk feel alive from year to year.
