Wash tags, also known as washing labels or washing water marks, are small labels sewn or pasted on clothing, fabrics or other washable items.
Function: Their main function is to guide consumers on how to properly wash and maintain the item, including washing methods, water temperature, detergent type, bleaching limits, ironing temperature, dry cleaning requirements, and more.

Content and format-Wash tags

Washing symbols: Wash tags usually contain a series of washing symbols, which are international and easy to understand and identify. For example, a symbol with a bucket and a wavy line indicates hand washing, while a thermometer symbol with numbers indicates the water temperature when washing.
Text instructions: In addition to washing symbols, wash tags may also contain text instructions to further explain washing and maintenance requirements. These text instructions may include “dry clean only”, “hand wash in cold water”, “do not bleach”, etc.

Material and durability

Material: Manufacturers usually make wash tags out of paper, plastic, or fabric, choosing durable materials that remain clear and readable even after multiple washings.
Durability: To ensure the durability of wash care labels, manufacturers usually choose water-resistant and friction-resistant materials and sew or stick them firmly on the clothes.

Notes

Read the label: Before washing clothes, be sure to read the washing and care instructions on the wash care labels carefully to ensure that they are washed in the correct way.
