Fabric Labels
Woven and printed fabric labels including brand labels, co-branded labels, and washcare labels.
A custom label acts as your brand's signature on a finished piece. Whether it’s the main logo tag or the wash care instructions, every label serves a specific purpose: communicating origin, quality, and care while making the product unmistakably yours.
We handle the legal details so you don't have to. We can incorporate the required country of origin and fabric content directly onto your main label, or sew them onto a small, separate tag inside the garment. You get complete design flexibility, and we make sure it's fully compliant.
Label Style Options
Co-Branded Labels
Produced at no additional cost on eligible orders. Feature both your brand logo and the Work+Shelter logo. Our team provides standard templates and design support to ensure the layout is clean and professional.
Branded Labels
Standalone labels showing only your brand. Standard production lead times apply. Suitable for brands that prefer to keep supplier branding off the finished product.
Washcare Labels
Taffeta compliance labels showing fabric content, country of origin, and care instructions either written or using wash symbols. Some orders include QR codes linking to extended product information. These meet standard textile labeling requirements for most markets, however, we recommend you check your local regulatory requirements for export.
