GUIDE
Relabelling and private label apparel, explained.
Turn quality blank garments into your own label.
Quick answer
Relabelling replaces or adds labels so blank garments carry your brand. We can add printed neck labels, woven labels, swing tags and sustainable packaging, so tees and hoodies look and feel like your own label.
Relabelling options
- Printed neck labels inside the garment
- Woven labels at the neck, hem or sleeve
- Swing tags
- Sustainable packaging and retail finishing
Removing the original label
Many blank styles have labels designed to be removed easily, while others need the label unpicked. We advise what suits each style.
What your labels need to show
In Australia, clothing and textiles must carry care instructions under the mandatory care labelling standard, so if the original label is removed, your label needs to carry that information. This is general information, not legal advice, so check the requirements for your products.
Who uses relabelling
Fashion labels, merch brands, artists, venues and businesses selling their own range all use relabelling to build a retail-ready product on proven blank garments.
Questions
Can I put my own brand label in the garments?
Yes. We can add printed neck labels or woven labels, and swing tags and packaging, so garments carry your brand.
Do I have to include care instructions on my label?
Care and fibre content information is required in many markets. We help you carry the right information across when the original label is removed.
Is relabelling available on organic garments?
Yes. Relabelling works on organic cotton and recycled garments, so you can build your own ethical label.
