Japanese term or phrase: 宛名カード
It is something included with an application form and other documents in a supplement to a student application guide. I guess it must be a sort of self-adhesive seal or tag to write your name and address on, but I wondered if there wasn't any standard term for it in English.

address card


Explanation:
I haven't seen 宛名 used to mean "name" - couldn't it be some kind of address card/sticker to maybe stick on the return envelope? The picture search seems to confirm my guess.

agree  casey: I can envision different situations where either "card" or "label" would be appropriate.
