When you purchase apparel items, you will notice they always come with a hang tag and a care label. Based on Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and European Union (EU) regulations, labels are required on apparel products to clearly state necessary information in order to sell to end consumers. Typically manufacturers have the labels printed by service bureaus specializing in these types of labels. However, this approach has limited flexibility for change since the label contents have already been set. It also results in additional costs to print new labels and makes it harder to manage inventory for the variety of labels. Manufacturers can use an in-house label printer to overcome difficulties and conquer apparel label printing with ease.
