Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Textileaffairs staff and previous consumers.
You know what? I used to work for one of the companies that make these labels that get stitched into garments and all manner of other consumer items. You would think they're throwaways, something that takes no particular design skill or requires special materials or printing, but the opposite is true. It's a surprisingly complex and highly competitive business - imagine getting the contract for, say, Macy's store here or Marks and Spencer in the UK. It can make or break many small companies. Clothing care labels are surprisingly comprehensive, but I always felt they were missing something: grading 1-10 on the European Itchiness Scale, or (formerly) The British Itchiness Standard scale. Maybe one day.
