Default american apparel re-labeling

I am ordering some blanks from american apparel. does anyone happen to know what the tags are made of? i know nothing about tags, so i can't tell just by looking at them. my guess would be satin, but i'm not sure. anyway, i was thinking of only taking the top one out, and leaving the bottom one in (it has the fabric content and country of origin) and putting my own logo labels in place of the top one. i definitly need whatever labels i get to be soft, becuase it's baby clothing. no cheap scratchy labels for me. and i sort of wanted mine to match the existing ones, so thats why i was asking if anyone knew what AA uses. is satin the softest?

Someone told me they were Poly-Satin, can someone verify if this is accurate. I am in the same boat as modestmama looking for options

are they satin or poly-satin? They seem very soft compared to other printed satin labels.

Satin is a weave, not a fibre. So there's no such thing as "satin or poly-satin", it would be "silk satin or poly satin or nylon satin", etc. I don't know for sure what AA makes their labels out of, but realistically it's likely to be polyester. If you really care... just google textiles burn test and check it yourself.
