Why choose custom care labels?
Care labels do more than list garment requirements. They help clothing brands present washing instructions clearly, improve customer confidence, and keep important garment information organized in a professional format.
Clear garment information
Add wash instructions, fiber content, size, and origin details.
Soft for daily wear
Choose comfortable materials for neck, side seam, or hem placement.
Proof before production
Confirm layout, spacing, and text clarity before bulk printing.
Choose the Best Care Label Material for Your Garment
Different garments need different label materials. Choose based on softness, durability, print clarity, garment color, and where the label will be sewn.
Soft Polyester Tape
Smooth, lightweight tape for clear care text and wash symbols. Best for everyday apparel, inner seams, and standard clothing care labels.
Off-White Matte Tape
A natural off-white look with a soft matte surface. Good for minimalist clothing, kidswear, handmade brands, and organic-style garments.
White Woven-Edge Tape
Clean white tape with finished edges. Best for premium garments that need a neat, stable label with clear printed details.
Black Woven-Edge Tape
A dark base for black garments and contrast branding. Suitable when a visible black care label fits the garment design.
Tyvek® 1442R
Lightweight, durable, and tear-resistant. Best for bags, accessories, outdoor products, or items that need stronger labels.

Care Label Size & Fold Guide
The best care label size depends on how much text you need, how many languages are included, where the label will be sewn, and whether you choose straight cut or folded labels.
Small Care Label
30 × 40 mmStandard Clothing Care Label
40 × 50 mmLong Wash Instruction Label
50 × 70 mmBilingual or Multilingual Label
60 × 80 mm+Size + Care Combo Label
25 × 50 mm+Side Seam Care Label
40 × 60 mm+How Custom Care Labels Are Applied
Most care labels are sewn into the side seam, neck seam, hem seam, or inner waistband. For labels with long wash instructions, the side seam is usually the most practical placement because it gives more space and does not affect the front appearance of the garment.
- Side seam: best for standard care and fiber content labels.
- Neck seam: best for smaller brand, size, or care labels.
- Hem seam: useful for subtle placement on shirts and outerwear.
- Inner waistband: common for pants, shorts, and activewear.

You can include washing instructions, care symbols, fiber content, country of origin, size, RN or company details, style number, batch code, website, QR code, or brand information. If you send us your text or artwork, we can prepare a digital proof before production.
Soft polyester tape is a common choice for everyday apparel because it prints clearly and feels lightweight. Woven-edge tapes are better when you want a more finished edge.

Care labels are mainly used for garment information such as wash instructions, fiber content, origin, and size. Printed labels can be used more broadly for logos, full-color artwork, sew-in branding, and decorative fabric labels.
Sample options may be available depending on the material, printing method, and label specifications. If you need to test softness, size, or print clarity before a larger order, send us your requirements and we can recommend the best option.
For simple care labels, 30 × 40 mm or 40 × 50 mm is often enough. For long washing instructions, bilingual labels, or detailed fiber content, a larger size such as 50 × 70 mm or 60 × 80 mm may be better. Final size also depends on fold type and sewing position.
