Custom Shirt Size Tags Factory

What is a Shirt Size Tag?

A shirt size tag is a functional label sewn or attached to clothing to indicate size specifications. Serving as a bridge between brands and consumers, it clearly marks sizes such as S, M, L and 165/88A, differentiates specifications for various body types, helps consumers quickly select well-fitted clothes, and reduces the return and exchange rate.

For clothing brands, size tags are a reflection of quality and standardization. They can be printed with logos, care instructions and fabric compositions to enhance brand recognition. Meanwhile, they comply with national clothing labeling standards to ensure compliant circulation. Durable tags remain legible after multiple washes, which can boost consumers' trust in the brand.

Custom Materials for Shirt Size Tags

Customizing shirt size tags requires balancing practicality, cost and brand positioning. Common materials are as follows:

①　Coated Paper: A cost-effective option with smooth surface and clear printing effect. Available in 250g–300g specifications. The 300g variant is thick, wear-resistant and not easy to tear when punched, making it a mainstream choice suitable for most budget and mid-range brands.

②　Non-woven Fabric: Soft, skin-friendly, breathable and non-irritating. Ideal for close-fitting shirts and underwear. It maintains shape after washing and is more eco-friendly, suiting brands that prioritize wearing experience.

③　Polyester Fiber (Woven Labels): Woven in structure, featuring excellent wear resistance and colorfastness to washing. With a premium texture, it is suitable for light luxury and formal wear brands, but its cost is higher than paper materials.

④　PVC Material: Waterproof, tear-resistant and highly durable. Suitable for outdoor and sports shirts. It can be made into transparent or frosted textures to meet personalized needs.

⑤　Black/White Cardboard: Boasting a thick and substantial texture, it is compatible with gold/silver foil stamping processes to create a high-end visual effect. It is mostly used for high-end custom shirts and designer brands.

Most Commonly Used & Cost-Effective Material

Coated paper is the most commonly used and affordable material, with a unit price much lower than that of woven labels and PVC. The 300g variant only costs 1/3–1/2 of woven labels, which can meet regular processing needs and fit the budget and application scenarios of most brands.

With balanced cost performance, coated paper neither causes blurriness or easy damage due to low cost, nor leads to excessive expenditure, making it the optimal solution for small and medium-sized brands and mass-produced shirts.

Custom Processes & Regular Sizes of Shirt Size Tags

4.1 Common Custom Processes

Custom processes affect the appearance and durability of tags. Mainstream processes include:

①　Offset Printing: A basic and commonly used process with good color reproduction and high efficiency. Suitable for mass production of coated paper and cardboard tags, it can clearly present complex patterns and information.

②　Gold/Silver Foil Stamping: A process that transfers metal foil at high temperature, delivering a premium texture. Compatible with black and white cardboard, it is applied to high-end shirt tags to enhance the sense of grade.

③　Screen Printing: Features strong ink adhesion, suitable for PVC and non-woven fabric. The printed patterns are thick and wear-resistant, which can highlight logos and size marks.

④　Heat Transfer Printing: Produces clear and bright characters and colors, suitable for polyester woven labels. It is colorfast to washing and meets the demand for high durability.

4.2 Regular Size Specifications

Tag sizes should match shirt patterns and sewing positions, following the principle of being compact without affecting wearing comfort. Common specifications are:

①　Rectangle: 2cm×5cm, 2.5cm×6cm (mainstream sizes, sewn on collars or side seams)

②　Square: 3cm×3cm, 4cm×4cm (paired with hang tags or sewn on hems)

③　Slender Type: 1.5cm×8cm (marked with detailed information, sewn inside collars)

Special-shaped sizes can also be customized according to shirt styles and brand needs to enhance uniqueness.
