A Garments wash care label, or durable label, is a permanent attachment to a garment that uses standardized symbols and text to guide consumers on proper cleaning, drying, and maintenance. As the name implies, care labels generally include important information your customers need to know to properly care for their clothes to ensure they last, including washing instructions and laundry symbols.Warm water is indicated by a wash tub symbol with two dots for washing clothes. The normal cycle symbol indicates a basic wash suitable for durable fabrics.  If you need help understanding these, a laundry symbols guide can be a helpful resource. Without care labels or with incorrect instructions, garments may shrink or fade quickly. Not following care label instructions can also cause harm to your garments, such as shrinking, stretching, or damaging the fabric. In this guide, we will explore what care labels are all about, why they are important, and how to create one for your products.
