Apparel Finishing: Tear-Away vs Printed Neck Labels
When you are launching a custom apparel line or outfitting a high-end corporate team, the manufacturer’s tag inside the collar is a massive distraction. You want your customers to focus on your brand, not the company that sewed the blank shirt. To achieve a true retail finish, you must deal with the neck tags by utilizing Tear-Away labels or Custom Printed labels.
The Convenience of Tear-Away Tags
Many modern premium apparel blanks are manufactured specifically with rebranding in mind.
- The Feature: They feature standard paper or thin woven tags that are lightly stitched so they can be ripped out easily with a quick pull.
- The Benefit: This allows you to quickly remove the manufacturer’s branding without ripping the actual collar seam, leaving a blank canvas.
The Prestige of Printed Neck Labels
If you want to look like a true mall brand, you have to replace that missing tag with your own.
- The Process: We utilize screen printing or DTF transfers to press your logo, the shirt sizing, and the legal care instructions directly inside the inside collar.
The Raven32 Recommendation
Attention to detail justifies a higher price tag. As printing and promotional experts, we know that leaving a blank, scratchy manufacturer tag in a shirt lowers its perceived value immediately. Adding a custom printed neck label instantly upgrades a simple ten-dollar blank t-shirt into a highly desirable thirty-five-dollar retail merchandise brand.
