According to their figures, over 800 formal garment manufacturing enterprisesmainly located in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg produce around 450 million garments every year; 60% supplied domestically while the remainder exported overseas including Europe, USA and other African nations.
South Africa's garment exports, accounting for 75% of total exports, are concentrated primarily within Europe and North America - accounting for more than 75% by value respectively.

2. Size Labels (1 cm x 3 cm, 1.5 x 4 cm, or 1.55 x 4.5 cm)
3. Composition Labels are usually composed of either 2.4 or 2.5 x 5 cm
4. Care/Washing labels may range in sizes between 3.5 cm x 5 cmand 4 x 6 cmfor easy care/washing of these important objects.
