Speaking of neck tags...
« on: September 29, 2015, 11:09:05 AM »
...I decided to start a new thread, the recent one didnt really address a question I have.

...can someone point me to some resources that explain the "legalese" of how this is to be handled? As I understand it, the tags have to contain certain info, is that correct? Does anyone know what that is from experience?

...I have been getting requests for this a good bit, and usually turn it away due to the ramifications (also a good excuse to not deal with the small quantities, which they always are). But I'm starting to rethink this, in terms of letting the client decide if its worth a setup to print just a few XXXL or whatever, essentially putting the decision entirely on them...which may have the added bonus of generating a bit of income on my end.

...my initial thoughts are: I can print whatever you want on the tag area, but will not remove the existing tag ...they must do that on their end. This leaves me non-liable for meeting guidelines once they are sold/distributed, correct? OR...Maybe have them sign some sort waiver, relieving us of responsibility, and requesting that we DO remove the tags?

...I know it appears I am overthinking this, but i feel it my responsibility to have the client understand that having a product line is more that just slapping a logo inside the neck, there are guidelines to follow, and they must do their due diligence. I also feel like if I can point them in the right direction to understand what that entails, its better for all parties.

..any thoughts/advice/resources are greatly appreciated
Thanks TSB gang!!

...Sean, Mr Tees!!!

Country of origin, fabric content and company name or RN number are basically it. There's exceptions to all of those though hahaha.
