Care label FAQ

Answers for wash instructions, shrinkage and label approval.

What should be included on a bedding care label?+

A bedding care label should include fibre content, care symbols or written wash instructions, drying guidance, ironing limits, bleach restrictions, country or market wording, importer or brand details when required, and label placement approved by the buyer.

Why do shrinkage and colourfastness matter for bedding orders?+

Shrinkage and colourfastness affect fit, appearance and customer complaints after washing. Buyers should confirm fabric behaviour, colour risk, print or dye method, and relevant test expectations before approving bulk bedding production.
