Do remember that if you leave out the RN you have to have the full legal company name on the tag (I think yours is okay (i.e. it doesn't have to be the manufacturer)... the key is that the goods have to be traceable).

The FTC has a good bunch of pages on it, or if you search the forums I wrote a comprehensive post about it quite a while ago.

In reading the FTC's site, they say

"The label(s) with required information must be securely attached to the product until it is delivered to the consumer. However, the label(s) need not be permanently attached."

I have a friend that buys tagless shirts (no tags, no printing, nothing... completely blank), and he prints his own tag on cardstock, then attaches it to the sleeve with a clothes-pin.

I'll have to ask him, but is anyone aware of sites you can get those shirts from? I'm sure they're out there, just... not sure where!

As the next paragraph of the same document says though, care instructions must be permanently attached.

There are different rules (location, permanency) for different pieces of information: it's just easier to combine them all. Something has to be permanent, so why not just combine it all into one label you only have to apply once? But you don't actually have to do that if you don't want to.

If you purchase a shirt with a label and you are doing low volume you can unpick the labels yourself. Its much easier to use a plastisol transfer for your size then to get a new label sew in, as to remove a label you dont need to unstitch a shirt, but to replace a label you do. The label can be removed with a unpicker and some steady hands.

Replacing a label can lead to problems with the seams lining up to the original seams. Out of a whole batch (almost 1000) we had around 700 shirts below the quality they need to be to sell when we were going down the route of replacing the tags. It needs to be done correctly, with ALOT of care and even still it needs to be tied off which is somewhat visible regardless of how good the seamstress is. If its a very good seamstress it might not be visible by the average person, but its still there.

Plastisol looks better and is probably more cost effective then relabelling as it was for us.



this is what we got plastisol transferred on and cost around 30cents a peice to print and 30 cents to press.

It doesn't look like it complies with the FTC's regulations, though.

Do you have all of the required info printed?

The t-shirts are auspirit garments, they have this information inside the shirt in the seam on another tag.
