CARE LABEL FABRIC QUALITY

The base fabric quality and fibre composition of each label is:

• Double satin

• Woven edge

• Printed front and back

• Pre-cut

• 100% Polyester

• All care labels must carry the correct house brand logo and include the information required in

this document.

For automated machinery, please contact your HOF QA Technologist, who will advise further.

FIBRE COMPOSITION REGULATIONS

Please reference - Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 – fibre names labelling and the marking of the

fibre composition of textile products

All bulk fabrics must be tested for fibre composition at a UKAS accredited 3rd party lab. For

continuity products, this test must be repeated at least once per year.

Fibre composition of blended fabrics MUST, BY UK LAW:

a. be listed with the highest percentage first and then in order according to next highest

percentage and so on e.g. 60% Cotton is listed before 25% Viscose which is listed before

15% Polyester.

60% Cotton

25% Viscose

15% Polyester

b. The total percentage of all fibres listed must always add up to 100%.

c. Always use whole rounded numbers. E.g. 60% not 59.5%.

Only legally recognized fibre definitions are permitted for use when stating the fibre composition

on the care label. See page 12-13 for textile generic name guideline details.

The correct format for the symbols is shown in table 1 below.

The correct sequence for the 5 care symbols is shown below.

The symbols represent the following:

1. Washing instructions and temperature

2. Bleach instructions
