Printed neck labels put your brand inside your garments in place of the manufacturer's label. They're optional, but they help your products look like your own brand.
Which products can have printed labels?
Inkthreadable prints every neck label using DTF (direct to film), so most adult garments can take one, including t-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts. Labels can't be printed into hoodies and sweatshirts with a fleecy lining, racer-back vests (where the neck is too narrow to print), or children's and baby clothing.
If a garment can take a label, you'll see the option to add one on its product page. If you're not sure, get in touch with our team.
DTF printed labels (+£1.51 inc VAT per garment)
Each printed label costs £1.51 inc VAT and is added to the garment's production cost. You supply your own label design as a 300ppi PNG in RGB colour mode, the same as a DTF print file.
Which brands are best to relabel?
We recommend Stanley/Stella or AS Colour, but every brand can be relabelled in some way.
Stanley/Stella: Products are manufactured with only a size pip in the neck. Any legally required information is on a label sewn into the side seam.
AS Colour: Products are manufactured with a branded size label in the neck. Any legally required information is on a label sewn into the side seam.
AWDis: Products are manufactured with tear-away labels. When you add a printed label, we remove the branded section where possible, and the legal information stays in place.
Bella+Canvas: Most products have tear-away branded labels, which are removed if you add a printed label. The required information stays on an unbranded label in the neck. Some Bella+Canvas products can't have their labels removed because of how they're made.
Gildan: Products are manufactured with two labels in the neck, but only one can be removed. The second label holds the legal information, so it has to stay.
Children's clothing: We can't relabel children's or baby clothing.
Details to include in your DTF label
The maximum label size is 8x8cm, and we recommend around 6x6cm. If your file is larger than 8x8cm, it'll be printed at the maximum size possible, so use an 8x8cm template for consistent results.
You don't need to add size, fabric or care details, because they're already on the garment's own label. Many merchants use just their logo. If you'd like to include more, you could add:
Garment size
Fabric (for example, 100% cotton)
Care instructions (wash at 30, inside out; don't tumble dry; don't iron directly over the print)
Here's an example. Your labels don't need to look anything like ours; it's just to give you an idea of what to aim for:
