Introduction to Garment Wash Labels

Custom Garment Wash Labels

Have you ever noticed a small piece of fabric attached to the back collar, the back waist under or beside the main label, or on the side seam of your clothes? This fabric label indicates the material composition of the garment and provides the correct washing instructions to help users properly clean and maintain their clothing.

This is our main subject today—the wash label!

A wash label, also known as a washing tag or care label, is a special type of label made from specific materials. Unlike ordinary paper tags, wash labels are designed to withstand multiple washes while keeping the printed information legible.

Classification of Wash Labels

Wash labels can be categorized into two types based on their material:

1. Ribbon-Type (Satin) Wash Labels

2. Tape-Type (Nylon) Wash Labels

Ribbon-Type (Satin) Wash Labels

- Softer in texture compared to tape-type labels.

- Can be printed with clear details.

- Commonly used on garments that require dry cleaning, such as down jackets, or as labels for handbags and luggage.

Tape-Type (Nylon) Wash Labels

- Printed using a special resin ribbon, ensuring high durability.

- Resistant to repeated washing without fading.

- The most widely used type of wash label.

Features of Wash Labels

- Clear printing

- Non-stick and tear-resistant

- Does not shed powder

- High-temperature resistant

- Water-wash resistant

- Resistant to rubbing and friction

Wash labels are widely used in various industries, including apparel, footwear, hats, bags, home textiles, plush toys, and automotive interiors.

As an essential part of garment care labels, wash labels play a crucial role in the clothing industry. They not only help consumers understand a garment’s attributes and maintenance methods but also enhance a brand’s image and recognition.
