Care Labels for Clothing: Satin and Nylon Taffeta

Care labels are small sewn-in tags that show what a garment is made of and how to wash it. Since 2014, Etiket.az has made them in Baku for apparel brands. We print care labels on Japanese nylon taffeta and English satin, in any language you need.

A good care label protects both the shopper and your brand. Buyers avoid ruining clothes in the wash, so you get fewer returns. Many export markets, including the EU, also require fiber content.

Thin and soft

Satin feels smooth on the skin, so it suits lingerie.

Wash-resistant print

We match ribbon and ink to the tape, so text survives many washes.

Any language

Azerbaijani, Russian, English or any other language you need.

Standard symbols

Symbols follow the standard order, so shoppers read them at a glance.

What a care label must show

Most care labels include the details below, because shoppers look for them first:

  • Fiber content: names and percentages, for example 95% cotton and 5% elastane.
  • Care symbols: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional cleaning.
  • Size: S, M, L, XL or numeric sizing.
  • Country of origin: for example, “Made in Azerbaijan”.
  • Extras: brand name, style code or warnings.

Our guide explains what laundry symbols mean. In addition, our article on clothing label requirements covers the legal side.

Nylon taffeta vs satin labels: which to choose

A care label touches the skin, so the material must be thin yet durable. We work with two tapes: nylon taffeta, known locally as “akmaz”, and English satin.

FeatureNylon taffeta (akmaz)English satin
LookMatte, paper-like surfaceSmooth, silky sheen
Main advantageHandles hot water, heat and detergentsGentle on skin and barely noticeable
Best forShirts, pants, outerwear, workwearLingerie, sleepwear, babywear, blouses

In short, taffeta suits everyday clothing, while satin is more comfortable for lingerie. We also compare both tapes with woven labels in our woven vs satin labels guide.

How the print holds up in the wash

Most printers use thermal transfer or flexography for these labels. In thermal transfer, heat and pressure move ink from a ribbon onto the tape, so even tiny text comes out sharp. For long runs, however, flexo can cost less. Therefore, we choose the method by run size, colors and material.

Printed care labels in three languages

Brands that also sell abroad often list fiber content in several languages. For example, “pambıq / хлопок / cotton” fits on one line. Symbols, by contrast, work in any language: five basic signs cover washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and professional care. The system is based on ISO 3758, and you can see the official symbols on the GINETEX care symbols page.

Sizes, cutting and supply on rolls

We size each care label to fit your text. For example, tape width is usually 20–40 mm, and length depends on the number of languages. For long text, we make a center-fold label.

Who orders care labels

Workshops, workwear makers and home-textile producers order our care labels. Apparel brands usually plan them as a set. For example, woven labels go at the neck, the care label in the side seam and hang tags outside. See the full kit on our clothing brand labels page, or browse all clothing labels.

What affects the price of care labels

We quote each job individually. These factors shape the price:

  • First, the material: nylon taffeta or satin.
  • Then, label size and text length.
  • Also, print sides and number of colors.
  • Supply format: rolls, straight cut or folded.
  • Finally, quantity: larger runs lower the unit price.

Care labels: frequently asked questions

Content and materials

What information must a care label include?
Typically, it shows fiber content, size, country of origin and care symbols. If you export, check the target market’s rules. For example, in the EU, Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 governs textile fiber names. For sales in Azerbaijan, we recommend adding Azerbaijani text as well.
Nylon taffeta or satin: which is better?
It depends on the garment. Nylon taffeta is firmer and handles hot water and detergents, so it suits shirts and outerwear. Satin, however, is softer and gentle on the skin. As a result, it is the usual choice for lingerie and babywear.
Can you print in several languages?
Yes. For example, brands in Azerbaijan often combine Azerbaijani, Russian and English on one label. For other languages, just send the final text. Each extra language makes the label longer, so we agree on size at the proof stage.

Printing, supply and ordering

Will the print wash off?
Not when the print method and ribbon match the material. We also factor in the garment’s wash settings. Still, we suggest sewing a few labels from the first batch into a garment and washing it. That way, you can confirm the result.
Do you supply rolls or cut labels?
Both. Rolls suit factories with automatic cutting equipment. Cut labels, however, are easier for small workshops that sew by hand. We can also make center-fold labels for side seams. Not sure? Tell us how you attach labels, and we will advise.
What are the minimum order and lead time?
Both depend on the material, size and print method, so we confirm them in each quote. Send a rough quantity, and we reply within 24 hours on business days with a quote and lead time. If you have a fixed launch date, mention it up front.
