Care Label Application for Clothing

Looking to add professional finishing touches to your custom clothing? Our care label application service ensures your garments are fully retail-ready. Adding wash care labels is essential for compliance, longevity and customer trust.

We apply printed or woven care labels with your custom branding, care instructions, size and country of origin. This step adds credibility and helps your customers properly maintain their garments, keeping your products looking fresh for longer.

What Is a Care Label?

A care label (also called a wash care label) is a small tag sewn into clothing that provides important washing, drying and care instructions. It often includes fibre content, washing symbols, sizing and brand or manufacturer details. These labels are important for both legal compliance and customer satisfaction.

What’s the Process for Your Care Label Application Services?

At Teesh, we offer washcare labelling for clothing as part of our garment finishing options. You supply your care label artwork or physical woven labels, and we apply them to your garments during production. We carefully position and sew the labels into the appropriate seams – typically the inside neck or side seam. Alternatively, we can also print care information directly inside the garment where suitable.

This service is available as an add-on to your main screen printing, embroidery or DTG/DTF order. It’s ideal for fashion brands and merch labels wanting to brand their products with a complete, polished finish.

Are Washcare Labels Legally Required in the UK?

In the UK, including washcare instructions on clothing is not a legal requirement, but it is highly recommended. Trading Standards expects businesses to provide clear, accessible care and fibre content information, especially if selling in retail. Including these details can help reduce customer complaints, product returns, and liability issues. It also demonstrates professionalism and boosts trust in your brand.

What Goes Onto a Care Label for Clothing?

A proper care label typically includes:

• Washing instructions (symbol-based and/or written)
• Drying and ironing guidelines
• Fibre content (e.g. 100% cotton)
• Brand name or logo (optional)
• Country of origin
• Size and care symbols, if applicable

You can choose between printed neck prints or separate sewn-in woven labels depending on your garment type and branding goals. If you’re unsure, we can help guide the design and layout during your order consultation.
