- Fiber content: each fiber and its percentage, largest first, e.g. 60% Cotton, 40% Polyester.
- Country of origin: where the garment was made.
- Care instructions: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing and dry cleaning, in that order.
- Company name or FTC RN (U.S., where applicable): an RN is optional and can be used instead of the company name.
Labeling rules vary by market
This tool doesn't give legal advice. In the U.S., the FTC publishes guidance on textile, wool and care labeling. In the UK, fibre composition is the core textile labeling requirement; U.S. RN and origin rules don't automatically carry over. If you sell in both, check each market's current rules, and test your care instructions on the actual fabric.
Common mistakes
- Listing a care method the fabric or trims can't survive, like hot washes for prints.
- Fiber percentages that don't add up to 100%.
- Leaving out the country of origin.

Frequently asked questions
Will this make my label legally compliant?
No. It's a drafting helper that builds a clear draft from the options you choose. Requirements depend on the market and product, so check the final wording against the rules that apply to you, or with a compliance professional, before production. In the U.S., manufacturers and importers are responsible for meeting FTC textile and care-labeling rules.
What do U.S. clothing labels usually need?
Under FTC rules, most textile apparel labels show fiber content, country of origin, and the company name or an FTC RN (Registered Identification Number), plus care instructions. An RN is optional: eligible U.S. businesses can use one instead of the company name. The FTC's business guidance explains the details.
What about the UK?
In the UK, textile fibre composition is a core labeling requirement: fibre names and percentages must be shown, for each component where they differ. Care instructions are commonly included. U.S. rules such as RN numbers and country-of-origin labeling don't automatically apply in the UK, so check current UK government guidance for what you sell.
Why doesn't the label show care symbols?
The familiar laundry symbols are defined by standards bodies, and in the UK and Europe they're also trademarks of GINETEX. To keep things simple, this tool writes the instructions in plain words. You can add licensed symbols when your label is produced.
Is “wash cold” the same as 30°C?
Roughly. Cold is generally up to about 30°C (86°F) in many guides. Showing the temperature in both °C and °F helps if you sell in the U.S. and the UK.
