US textile labeling starts with accurate product information, not a ready-made label template. For bras and lingerie, buyers should check the material record, business identity and origin before approving artwork. Keep care instructions as a separate review topic. This checklist helps sourcing teams organise the evidence behind a label.
Confirm the US textile labeling scope
The FTC clothing and textiles guidance explains that most covered textile products need fibre content, country of origin and business identification. Exact requirements and exceptions depend on the product. Therefore, have your US compliance reviewer confirm the final label.
Do not assume a brand logo supplies every required identity detail. Likewise, do not infer origin from the supplier’s office address. Ask the responsible team to verify the facts and applicable rules before printing.
Gather records before writing artwork
| Field | Evidence to collect | Check before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre content | Material and component records | Correct wording and scope |
| Origin | Relevant manufacturing information | Applicable origin determination |
| Business identity | Approved legal identity details | Matches responsible business |
| Care | Supported care instructions | Separate care-rule review |
For example, the main fabric may differ from the lining or trim. Ask your reviewer how the components should appear on the label. Do not combine percentages from unrelated material sheets or copy a previous style without checking changes.
Control the label approval process
First, assign a version number to the artwork. Next, link it to the style, colour and approved bill of materials. Ask the supplier for a clear sample photograph showing the label text and attachment. Check readability as well as spelling.
Then compare the physical label against the approved file during sample review. Use the sample approval checklist to keep this step visible. Record who approved the final version and when.
Recheck US textile labeling after changes
A fabric substitution, production-location change or new business arrangement can require another review. Therefore, make label approval part of change control. Quarantine outdated artwork so it cannot enter the next order by mistake. Keep the final files with the order records for later questions.
Send CNBRAS your US-market label brief with the style and required documents. Confirm availability for the project. This is general sourcing guidance, not legal advice or approval of a particular label.
