Lesson 11 : Textile Care Labels

Introduction

The growth in the variety of textile fibbers has been substantial. This has often resulted in a single garment being made from different fiber types. Such garments require special care in buying and laundering which has increased the significance of care labels and tags.

When you purchase clothing items, hangtags (tags) and labels are attached to them. They give information about products. This might include the size, price, special features, brand name, fiber content, finishes, manufacturer, country of origin, and care instructions. Hangtags and labels exist to identify products, to help sell them, to help consumers make decisions about them and explain proper care. They have been developed through joint efforts of federal government.
