Label Formats

Three taffeta formats, one compliance spec.

All three carry the ISO 3758 / GINETEX symbol library, fibre content and country of origin. Pick the format that matches your garment construction and target market.

Single-fold wash-care label

The Indian-retail standard. 50×30mm centre-fold sewn into the side seam — symbols on the outer face, fibre composition and origin on the inside. Perfect for D2C lines selling on Myntra, Ajio, Nykaa and Flipkart.

Multi-language wash-care label

Book-fold or extended centre-fold carrying 3–5 languages — English, French, German, Italian, Spanish — for EU GPSR / Textile Regulation 1007/2011 compliance and US FTC-aligned wording. The format used by Indian exporters shipping to Europe, the UK and North America.

QR-code digital care label

Mandatory wash symbols + fibre content on the physical label, plus a scannable QR linking to your Digital Product Passport, GS1 Digital Link record or brand care portal. The forward-compatible format for EU-bound textiles ahead of mandatory DPP enforcement.

Why Wash-Care on Taffeta

Why brands choose wash-care taffeta.

Taffeta is the substrate that retailers, exporters and laundries expect on the care label. Six reasons it's the global standard.

ISO 3758 / GINETEX library

Full 4th-edition symbol set: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional textile care — including the 2023 hand-wash-ambient and no-steam-iron additions.

Multi-language layouts

Typeset up to 5 languages per label for EU GPSR + Textile Regulation 1007/2011 wording and FTC-aligned English text for US importers — without losing legibility.

50+ wash cycles

Polyester taffeta is heat-stable, water-resistant and fray-resistant by structure — symbols stay legible after domestic 60°C washes, hotel/uniform industrial laundry and dry-clean solvents.

Ink that won't bleed

Solvent-based inks heat-cured after printing. No bleeding in hot wash, no fade under steam pressing — verified on a wash-cycle test sample before bulk production.

Fibre-content compliance

Fibre composition typeset in descending percentage order per India's draft labelling regulations, plus country of origin, manufacturer/importer and size — ready for retailer audits.

BIS / CPSIA / EU ready

Designed against India's BIS & Legal Metrology disclosures, US FTC 16 CFR 423 + CPSIA tracking for children's apparel, and EU GPSR — one substrate, multiple markets.

Compliance Workflow

From fibre spec to retail shelf.

Four steps built around the regulatory workflow. Same compliance lead from spec to delivery.

  1. 01

    Share fibre spec & target markets

    Send your fibre composition (e.g. 80% Cotton, 20% Polyester), garment construction and the markets you sell into — India, EU, UK, US, GCC. We map the right symbol set (ISO 3758 / GINETEX or ASTM D5489) and required disclosures, then quote within 2 hours.

  2. 02

    Approve a compliance-checked proof

    We share a to-scale digital proof — symbol order (wash → bleach → dry → iron → professional care), language hierarchy, fibre percentages, country of origin and importer details all reviewed against BIS / FTC / EU rules. You confirm; only then we begin production.

  3. 03

    Wash-cycle test sample (on request)

    Before bulk, we can run a physical sample through hot-wash and steam-press to verify ink fastness, symbol legibility and edge sealing. Photographs go to you on WhatsApp before the main run begins.

  4. 04

    Delivered pan-India & export-ready

    Cut to length, edge-sealed, boxed and shipped pan-India with WhatsApp tracking. Compliance proof packet (symbol mapping + fibre statement) supplied for customs and retailer audits. Defective pieces replaced free within 7 days.

Where wash-care taffeta shines.

The substrate retailers, marketplaces and customs auditors expect on the care label — across categories, climates and wash cycles.

Domestic apparel brands

Single-language wash-care for Indian D2C — Myntra, Ajio, Nykaa and Flipkart. ISO 3758 symbols + fibre content + country of origin, retail-audit ready.

EU / US exporters

Multi-language book-fold labels carrying EN + FR + DE + IT + ES for EU GPSR + Textile Regulation 1007/2011 compliance, with FTC-aligned English wording for US importers.

Fast-fashion volume

When the marketplace demands a compliant care label on every SKU and the unit economics demand the lowest-cost compliant substrate — taffeta delivers both.

Athleisure & activewear

Cold-wash, no-bleach, low-iron, hang-dry — the exact symbol set performance fabrics need. Taffeta resists the polyester-blend wash regime that breaks softer substrates.

See activewear use cases

Kidswear & infant lines

CPSIA tracking text, allergen-free disclosures and hot-wash 60–90°C symbol sets for hygiene-critical kidswear. Sealed edges so taffeta never scratches.

Home textiles & linen

Bedsheets, towels, curtains and table linen — high-temperature industrial wash, frequent bleach, repeated steam press. Polyester taffeta is the only substrate that survives.

Quick rule of thumb: if your logo is photographic, gradient-heavy, or includes a face, go printed. If it's type or a 1–2 colour mark, go woven.

Common Questions

Wash-care taffeta FAQs.

Quick answers to the compliance questions Indian brands and exporters ask us most. Still stuck? WhatsApp us.

What care symbols can you print on a wash-care taffeta label?

We carry the full ISO 3758:2023 / GINETEX symbol library — the five base categories (washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional textile care) plus every variant: hand-wash, tumble-dry levels, line-dry, flat-dry, iron temperature dots, dry-clean solvent letters and prohibition crosses. ASTM D5489 equivalents are available for US-export styles.

Can you print wash-care labels in multiple languages for EU and US export?

Yes. We typeset up to 5 languages per label — commonly English + Hindi for domestic, and English + French + German + Italian + Spanish for EU export. Multi-language is required under EU GPSR when text appears alongside symbols, and helps US importers meet the FTC Care Labeling Rule wording requirements. Multi-language adds ₹0.10 per label.

Will the ink survive industrial laundry and hot-water washes?

Yes. Polyester taffeta is heat-stable and water-resistant by structure, and our solvent-based inks are heat-fixed after printing. Symbols and text stay legible through 50+ domestic wash cycles, hotel and uniform industrial laundry at 60–90°C, steam pressing and dry-cleaning solvents (perc, hydrocarbon, wet-clean). A wash-cycle test sample is available on request before bulk.

Do your wash-care labels meet BIS, FTC, CPSIA and EU compliance?

Yes. Our wash-care taffeta labels are built to match India's BIS / Legal Metrology disclosures (fibre composition in descending percentage, country of origin, manufacturer/importer, MRP, size, care), the US FTC Care Labeling Rule (16 CFR Part 423) plus CPSIA tracking for children's apparel, and EU GPSR + Textile Labelling Regulation 1007/2011. A compliance-checked proof is sent before production.

Can you add a QR code linking to a digital product passport or care app?

Yes. We print scannable QR codes onto taffeta that resolve to your Digital Product Passport, GS1 Digital Link record, brand care portal or recycling guide. This is increasingly important for EU-bound textiles — the ESPR Digital Product Passport Registry goes live July 2026, with mandatory textile DPPs expected from mid-2028.

What size and format do brands typically use for wash-care taffeta labels?

The most common format is a 50×30mm single-fold label sewn into the side seam, with symbols on the outer face and language text on the inside. Multi-language export labels run longer — typically 50×80mm to 50×120mm centre-fold or book-fold so 3–5 languages can stack legibly without shrinking type below 4pt.
