I decided to write about a seam ripper, because all of the clothing lines that use blank t-shirts and other apparel and want to know how to relabel your garments. Usually blank products come with a generic fabric content label or the blank manufacturers tag like an Alstyle Apparel or Hanes tag. For the most part seam rippers are used too rip out stitches from a garments seam. They can be used to rip the stitches that attach the label and you could then have your manufacturer.screen printer, or a sewing contractor (If they offer these services) to sew in your custom label for a clean professional look. When it is done correctly you will never know it has been relabeled.
Any of you guys use blank labels and relabel them? Did your screen printer offer these services?

I used to take them out with that tool and have a local sewing company sew in my label. You can’t tell that the shirt wasn’t originally your own. Our local company would charge 25 bucks to re-tag a hundred shirts.

I was wondering where can I find a good manufacturer that can produce small quantities of inside tags for t-shirts.
Thanx Grapharic

You shoud be able to get around a 1000 for around 350 bucks. If a 1000 is more than you need right now, at least these tags never expire. I mean if you only get a couple hundred, its going to run you 200 bucks or so, because of the set up charges. In this case, it is better to spend the extra 150 dollars for 800 more labels. If you are making 300 or less labels, it is more cost effective to screen print your label in. But if you want the contacts on some good label companies, I can personally vouch for some of the ones in the “industry link” on this blog

We started out putting our labels in shirts after seam ripping the old ones out. Luckily the labor cost us nothing, it was done in house, but eventually it got to be a lot of work in house as the numbers grew. We switched over to screen printing the neck labels in. On average it costs us about 20-30 cent more than the cost of the neck label because honestly the printers hate to catch your shirt at the end of the dry and flip them inside out hot. lol.
With screen printing you have more flexibility. I don’t know that i’d go back to tagging, i’d prolly only do tags on cut and sew so where the shirts arrived tagged.
