Dressing tailors usually hang multiple labels as per the regulations. For instance, trademarks are often printed on the collar and cuffs for consumers to confirm the brand; specifications and sizes are marked on the collar seam and side seams so that consumers can choose appropriate clothing by size; the most prominent part of the garment has a hangtag which contains all the information about the garment, providing a comprehensive introduction of the brand, composition, specifications, and whether it has passed inspection. Among these, there is a small label sewn in the garment's seam, namely the garment's permanent care label. It mainly provides consumers with references on material composition and content, washing methods, and introduces how to properly maintain the garment during use. The permanent label generally indicates the content of components, water-wash symbols, dry-clean symbols, drying methods, and ironing methods.
It can be said that a small garment label contains a lot of information. Though small, it is the main mark indicating whether the product is qualified, and it represents the merchants' responsibility to the consumers.
Therefore, Dongguan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds all garment export enterprises: the component and care labels of textiles and garments must be sewn onto the clothes in the form of a permanent label. The identification patterns on the permanent label should be complete, and the components and their proportions cannot be misrepresented. In this regard, inspection and quarantine departments should increase publicity efforts to relevant production enterprises and business companies, strengthen the inspection and supervision of textile garments to ensure the quality of exported textile garments.
According to Business Social on September 11th, recently, Dongguan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that 71% of the non-conforming batches of exported textile garments were due to "label" non-conformities in the first half-year quality analysis statistics. Since garment labels generally indicate the size, materials, and maintenance methods of the garment, this is crucial for manufacturers, brand owners, retailers, consumers, and any party in the supply chain.
