Unlike woven labels, printed labels are not woven but printed onto various substrates. Here is the typical manufacturing process for printed labels, such as those for clothing, care instructions, brand labels, or product packaging: Manufacturing a Printed Label Step by Step 1. Design Creation The label design is created digitally (using programs like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW). It typically includes: logo, text, care instructions, QR codes, and size information. File format: Vector format (.AI, .PDF, .EPS) is recommended for crisp lines. 2. Material Selection The appropriate material is selected based on the application (e.g., washable, ironable, tear-resistant). Commonly used materials: • Polyester satin (soft, glossy, popular in clothing) • Nylon taffeta (tear-resistant, lightweight – e.g., for mattresses) • Polyester tape (very durable) • Cotton tape (eco-friendly, matte) • Paper or film (e.g., for packaging labels) 3. Selecting the printing method There are various printing methods – depending on the quantity, quality, and material.

According to the German Textile Labelling Act (TextilKennzG), certain information about the composition of the textile must be provided on a care label (or label inside the textile product). The Act serves to inform consumers about the fiber composition of textile products, particularly when placed on the market within the EU. Mandatory information according to the Textile Labelling Act (TextilKennzG): 1. Fiber Composition • All fibers used must be stated as percentages. • Example: • "80% cotton, 20% polyester" • "100% wool" 2. Order and Name • Fiber names must be used in accordance with EU Regulation 1007/2011 (e.g., "polyacrylic," not "acrylic"). • The fibers must be listed in descending order of their weight percentage. Multi-Component Products • For products with several parts (e.g., a jacket with a lining), the composition for each part must be stated separately if it differs. Recommended, but not mandatory, information: • Care instructions are not legally required, but are standard practice in the industry. (Care symbols according to DIN EN ISO 3758) • Size information is common, but not legally required. • Country of origin (“Made in…”) is only required if omitting it could be misleading. Mandatory information according to EU Regulation (EU) No. 1007/2011: • Contact address of the manufacturer or importer • Name and address of the responsible company • For imported goods: Name and address of the importer in the EU. EU product safety regulations (not explicitly required in the German Textile Labeling Act, but generally necessary).

A clothing label should contain both legally required information and optional, brand-related content that can be used for marketing or customer retention. Mandatory information on a clothing label (legally required in the EU & Germany) This information must be present if you sell clothing: 1. Textile labeling (material composition) In percentages, e.g.: 95% cotton, 5% elastane Only recognized textile fiber names may be used. Must be permanently attached, legible, and visible. 2. Manufacturer / Importer (contact address) Name and address of the responsible company (usually on a separate label or sewn in). For imported goods: Name and address of the importer in the EU. 3. Care Instructions (recommended, not legally required in the EU – but practically standard) Symbols for: Washing Bleaching Drying Ironing Professional cleaning Many manufacturers add text such as "Machine wash at 30°C". Tip: Care instructions are not legally required, but without them you may be liable for damage caused by improper care. 4. Country of Origin (mandatory for certain products) "Made in Turkey" or "Manufactured in Portugal" Mandatory, for example, for exports outside the EU or according to product safety regulations (e.g., for protective equipment). Voluntary but useful information (for customers & marketing) Brand name / logo Makes your product identifiable and strengthens your brand. Size information e.g. B. S, M, L or 38, 40, 42 Production details / Sustainability For example: "Fairly produced in Portugal" "GOTS-certified organic cotton" "PETA-approved vegan" Website address / Social media handle For example: www.deine-marke.de @deinemarke_official QR code or NFC tag Links to: Styling tips Product information Behind-the-scenes content Customer benefits / Loyalty programs

Clothing labels are often underestimated yet highly effective marketing tools. They not only provide information but can also be strategically used to strengthen brand identity, foster customer loyalty, and create a unique brand experience. Here are some concrete strategies for marketing with clothing labels: 1. Branding through Design and Quality Prominently place the logo and brand name (e.g., on woven labels). Use high-quality materials for the label – this reflects the brand's standards. Consistent corporate design: Colors, fonts, and style must match the rest of the brand's visual identity. Example: Supreme and Off-White use eye-catching label tags as part of their overall look. 2. Storytelling on the Label Short, emotional texts: "Proudly made in Berlin," "Inspired by nature – built for the city." Include a QR code linking to a brand story video or a behind-the-scenes page. Example: Patagonia uses labels to highlight sustainable production. 3. Communicating Sustainability and Values Use labels to demonstrate ecological and social responsibility: "100% organic cotton," "Fairly produced in Portugal," "PETA-approved vegan." Transparency strengthens trust and customer loyalty. Tip: Small brands can score big here and differentiate themselves. 4. Customer Loyalty Through Hidden Details Hidden messages or designs in the labels (e.g., small drawings, motivational quotes). Use care labels creatively: Instead of boring washing instructions, for example, "Don't wash me too hot – I hate it hotter than 30°C!" Goal: Build rapport and encourage sharing on social media. 5. Labels as Collectibles or Brand Features Limited edition labels (e.g., for one season only). Colored labels to differentiate collections. Special labels featuring artist collaborations. Example: Levi’s or Nike use limited-edition label designs for collaborations. 6. Launch digital marketing via the label Integrate QR codes or NFC chips: Link to: Instagram profile, styling tips, newsletter signup, exclusive content. Customer engagement through interactive content (e.g., "Scan and win"). 7. Co-branding or influencer marketing on labels Collaborations with influencers, artists, or other brands: Shared labels with both logos. Include a quote or signature from the partner on the label.
