Too piggyback on this thread, do I need two labels? One for the brand and one for the size, fabric etc..? Will my Cut & Sew place put the lable in for me? Will they charge me a lot?
I think just a size sticker is kind of cheap. Once the customer removes the sticker, it would be nice if there was still a place that had the size!
A size tab can be sewn in under your woven label, and like I said before, I don't think it should cost you any extra.
Do you think I even need to go with a woven label? I'm selling them wholesale to T-shirt printers, would they rather woven labels or a cheaper price on the shirt? Where do I buy size tabs?
This just depends. If you are selling blanks to people that are going to use them to print on customers shirts, I say a printed label would do just fine!
I think Greg pretty much covered it I'd agree with all of the above.
Generally I prefer a woven label, but I imagine the printers would rather save the money. It can definitely add up to a lot, and wholesale blanks don't exactly have the best margins.
(put it this way: Alternative Apparel use woven labels. American Apparel, Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Port & Co., Jerico, and Anvil all use printed labels. Anvil labels are particularly cheap and nasty.)
The printed labels look kinda cool on darker shirts, par example, I saw a black tee with a white label printed inside it. How long do those labels usually last. The ones on my Hanes under-tees haven't faded thru four to five washes (I know, I'm lazy).

*facepalm* Geez... I haven't personally done any label stuff, and until just now I thought every time people were referring to 'printed' labels, they meant in the back of the shirt (and thus, tagless)!
Oi. Well, in my defense, I'm certain that the back-of-shirt labeling was referred to as 'printed labels' at least a few times; does this method go by any other name?
do I need two labels? 
I'd agree with all of the above.
