What is a Printed Care Label

A printed care label, also known as a wash label or care tag, provides essential information about how to properly care for a garment. In English, it is commonly referred to as a "care label" or "wash label".

Key Information on Care Labels:

- Fabric composition

- Correct washing methods (e.g., dry cleaning, machine wash, hand wash)

- Bleaching instructions

- Drying instructions

- Ironing temperature requirements

The purpose of these labels is to guide users on how to properly care for their garments. Additionally, some care labels may include the brand logo and contact information of the manufacturer.

Material and Durability:

To ensure that the care labels meet the demands of various printing methods, the fabric used is treated with different chemicals or resins. This treatment ensures that the fabric:

- Has good ink absorption

- Dries quickly

- Resists fading or discoloration

- Is durable during washing

- Maintains its edges without fraying

All of these properties must comply with international standards.

Common Materials for Care Labels:

- Ribbon

- Tape

- Cotton strips

Other materials may also be used, including:

- Nylon

- Polyester

- Acetate

- Blended fabrics (TC)

- Pure cotton

- Non-woven fabrics

To enhance the product's value and variety, there are several fabric finishes available, such as:

- Full-dull fabrics

- Semi-dull fabrics

- Bright fabrics

- Pearl-finished fabrics

Printing vs. Weaving:

While most care labels are printed, some products like shoes and toys may feature woven care labels. These woven labels can also be called woven wash labels.
