Industry regulations > CPSIA Section 103 - Tracking Labels

Responsibility when printing for the trade. Need answer immediately!

<< < (2/10) > >>

Frog:
Obviously the safest solution, with a little bit more of a charge to make the "custom" label. as opposed to my stock one with only the number changing.

whitewater:
Where are these rules for this labeling? I am a business and not one person has ever contacted me about this..If i was not on these boards I wouldn't have a clue about this so called law...

tpitman:
It's the government. They're making up the rules as they go along.

When I run a youth shirt for an end user customer, I have a label I add with contact information, date and individual ID number (which in my files, corresponds to ink batch numbers and so forth. To some, even this isn't sufficient, but that's another issue.
With contract type work, wouldn't the label have t reflect their information?

Andy:  I know of at least one larger screen-printer that "discreetly" incorporates a tracking number directly into the design that they print onto the garment.  I can't tell you with any certainty if this approach meets the legal requirements, and my contact at the company did report that their customers were initially not so happy at having a tracking number incorporated into the graphic design. 

Although, as soon as he explained the legal requirement to track the garment and the materials used in its manufacture his customers were normally ok with it.  If you can get your customers on board, this approach is more permanent, less expensive, and a whole lot less hassle than adding your own custom label to the garment.

Frog:
Peter, I offer both methods. Some designs are simply more conducive for the "incorporated" choice, and like you mentioned, some simply don't want it there no matter, and will pay for the additional label.
My specific problem is dealing with the contract aspect.
Though I seldom do contract work, I will now offer the same two alternatives, but with their contact information.
Fortunately, this comes up seldom. Pierre, on the other hand, probably sees it regularly. He also uses a cool rubber stamp.
