Hi Everyone,
We are currently overwhelmed regarding labels. We have a small craft/fashion business and have recently gotten into designing custom transfers and rhinestone/crystal transfers. We've have ordered a heat press and have received the first batch of ink transfers and hotfix transfers.

Now we need blanks! But that means labels as well...and we are open to doing brand labels with a printed logo for now to keep cost low, but from what we've read, we also need a custom care tag (machine wash - gentle - turn garment inside out - no bleach - dry flat - do not iron design). No preference on where to incorporate the size info (whatever is cheapest at this point). Bottom line is we need feminine cut cotton & cotton/spandex shirts (like Bella or something similar) but don't know which way to start with this whole labeling thing....can we buy nice women's Bella (or similar) shirts from someone who sews the labels into them first, or do we have to have them shipped to the vendor that makes/adds the labels??? We don't currently have the labor to add a step in pressing in transfer labels, even though they are popular & cool looking.

help!

Thanks in advance,
Cara at Shining Glory

Hi Rodney & Everyone,
Just replying to my own post to let you all know that I figured out how to navigate these forums and found my answers re: labeling & shirts on another thread. Yay! Thanks anyway.
