Introduction
For fashion brands, wholesalers, and importers, custom women’s knitwear production is not only about the garment itself. Labels, hang tags, packaging, and carton details are also important parts of the final product.
A sweater, cardigan, pullover, or knit dress may look complete after production, but if the label or packaging information is not confirmed clearly, it can still create problems before delivery.
At Janbow Apparel, we support custom women’s knitwear production for brands and wholesalers. In this article, we explain what customers should prepare for custom labels and packaging before bulk production.
Why Labels and Packaging Matter
Labels and packaging help make the product look more professional and brand-ready. They also provide important information for customers, retailers, warehouses, and logistics teams.
For women’s knitwear, labels and packaging may include brand labels, size labels, wash care labels, hang tags, polybags, stickers, carton marks, and packing instructions.
Clear label and packaging requirements can help reduce mistakes, improve production efficiency, and make the final delivery more organized.
1. Main Brand Label
The main brand label is usually placed at the back neck area or another position requested by the customer. It shows the customer’s brand name and is one of the most visible custom details on the garment.
Before production, customers should confirm:
- Brand logo file
- Label size
- Label color
- Label material
- Label position
- Sewing method
For women’s sweaters and cardigans, the label should match the garment style and fabric feel. A label that is too stiff, too large, or not suitable for knitwear may affect the wearing experience.
If customers already have their own label supplier, they can provide finished labels. If not, label development can be discussed before bulk production.
2. Size Label
Size labels help identify the correct size for each garment. They are especially important for bulk orders with multiple sizes.
Customers should confirm the size system before production, such as XS to XL, European sizes, UK sizes, US sizes, or customized size ranges.
The size label can be separate or combined with the main label, depending on the customer’s requirements.
Clear size information helps avoid confusion during production, packing, and delivery.
3. Wash Care Label
The wash care label is an important part of garment information. It usually includes fabric composition, washing instructions, country of origin, and other required details.
For custom women’s knitwear, fabric composition should be confirmed carefully before making wash labels. Materials such as viscose, polyester, nylon, polyamide, and blended yarns may require different care instructions.
Customers should provide accurate label information if they have specific market requirements. This is especially important for brands selling in different regions.
A wrong wash label can create unnecessary problems, so it should be confirmed before bulk production and packing.
4. Hang Tags
Hang tags are often used for retail presentation. They can include brand information, product details, barcode, price, size, color, or collection information.
For fashion brands, hang tags can help improve the product’s brand image. They are also useful for stores, warehouses, and distribution.
Before making hang tags, customers should confirm:
- Tag design
- Logo file
- Material
- Size
- Hole position
- String or attachment method
- Barcode or price information
If the order is for wholesale or retail channels, hang tag details should be confirmed early to avoid delays before shipment.
5. Polybags and Individual Packing
Many women’s knitwear orders require individual polybag packing. This helps protect the garments during storage and transportation.
Polybags can be plain or customized with brand logo, size stickers, barcode stickers, or warning text. Some customers may also request eco-friendly packaging options depending on their market needs.
Before production finishes, customers should confirm:
- Whether each piece needs an individual polybag
- Polybag size
- Logo or printed information
- Sticker requirements
- Folding method
- Size and color identification
For knitwear, proper folding and packing are important because sweaters and cardigans can be thicker than many other garment categories.
6. Carton Packing and Carton Marks
Carton packing is important for shipment and warehouse handling. Clear carton marks can help customers identify products more easily after delivery.
Carton information may include style number, color, size, quantity, gross weight, net weight, carton size, destination, and customer reference number.
If customers have special warehouse or logistics requirements, they should provide carton mark instructions before packing begins.
This helps make the final delivery more organized and reduces communication problems during shipping.
7. Packing Ratio and Size Breakdown
For bulk orders, customers may need a specific packing ratio or size breakdown.
For example, one carton may contain only one size and one color, or it may contain a mixed size ratio according to customer requirements.
Before packing, it is helpful to confirm:
- Quantity per carton
- Color separation
- Size separation
- Mixed-size packing or single-size packing
- Carton label requirements
- Packing list format
Clear packing instructions can help make warehouse receiving and distribution much easier for the customer.
8. When Should Labels and Packaging Be Confirmed?
Labels and packaging should not be left until the last moment.
For custom women’s knitwear production, it is better to confirm label and packaging details before or during bulk production preparation. Some labels, hang tags, or packaging materials may need extra time for production.
If label files or packing instructions are provided too late, they may affect the final delivery schedule.
To avoid delays, customers should prepare logo files, label information, care instructions, barcode details, and packing requirements as early as possible.
Common Information Customers Should Prepare
Before confirming custom labels and packaging, customers can prepare the following information:
- Brand logo file
- Main label design
- Size label requirements
- Wash care label content
- Fabric composition
- Hang tag design
- Barcode or price information
- Polybag requirements
- Sticker requirements
- Carton mark format
- Packing ratio
- Delivery and warehouse instructions
The more complete the information is, the easier it is to arrange production, label preparation, packing, and delivery.
