Production of care label stickers for textiles

Who hasn’t been annoyed by those pesky care labels in their clothes at least once in their life? They can cause a very unpleasant itching and scratching sensation, and even if you tackle the nuisance with a pair of scissors, there’s no guarantee they won’t make themselves felt again. But of course, we still want to know where the fabrics come from, what they’re made of and how best to look after them. This is where retailers have the opportunity to attach special textile labels to their products to provide care instructions – all without any itching or scratching. Find out how in today’s YOW! blog post.

Care labelling for textiles is not compulsory in Germany. However, the International Association for Textile Care Labelling, also known as GINETEX, has published guidelines designed to inform consumers about handling and potential risks. Whilst compliance with the GINETEX guidelines is voluntary for manufacturers and retailers, it should be strictly observed to protect customers.

Textile labels are a convenient and simple way to provide your customers with all the information they need regarding care instructions, fabric composition and size details. On the one hand, this has the advantage that it is no longer necessary to cut itchy labels out of the clothing before wearing it. On the other hand, customers can view the care instructions at the point of purchase if you attach the label clearly to the garment. This is particularly useful when the garments are still in their packaging. Retailers also have the option of adding their own logo and customised lettering to the fabric stickers. There is also plenty of space for the company’s website address. The professional yet creative design significantly enhances the appearance of garments and makes them appear much more attractive to customers.  Furthermore, your brand recognition increases significantly thanks to the distinctive branding featuring your own logo. Simply design your own textile labels to showcase your brand to its best advantage!

If you want to label textiles quickly and customise them, a good option is simply to apply the appropriate stickers yourself. Printable and self-adhesive films are particularly well suited to labelling clothing. They are robust, durable and waterproof. The special adhesive ensures that the stickers adhere well to textiles and smooth surfaces. At the same time, however, they can be removed easily and without leaving any residue. This makes labelling all kinds of textiles particularly appealing. In principle, however, it is also possible to use self-adhesive paper as stickers. In the YOW! online shop, you’ll find a wide selection of printable media that can be turned into stickers. Many of our products are suitable for laser and inkjet printing.

With the SC 30 sheet-fed cutting plotter from Secabo, producing stickers for textiles is a breeze. It automatically cuts out stickers with precise contours from sheets measuring up to 330mm x 488mm. It reliably feeds individual sheets from a stack of up to 50 sheets. The SC 30 can process a wide range of self-adhesive materials, meaning nothing stands in the way of producing your stickers. Thanks to the DrawCutPro cutting software included in the package and the Lapos Q multi-registration mark recognition system, you can be sure of achieving highly professional results. Lapos Q is the world’s fastest and most user-friendly sequential multi-registration mark recognition system. Stickers, labels and other media can thus be cut out in free forms with precise contours, easily and conveniently. Once plotting is complete, all you need to do is peel the finished stickers off the backing and stick them onto the fabric in the desired position. Done!
