Why use inside labels?
Elevate your brand and give your products a polished, professional look with inside labels. For just $0.99 per label, you can print your logo and custom design directly inside the garment, leaving a lasting impression on your customers.
Where is the label printed, and how big is it?
Inside labels are printed on the inside of the garment, usually just below the collar. The maximum print area is 3″ × 3″.
Which products support inside label customization?
Inside label customization is available across several printing techniques, including DTG (Direct-to-Garment), DTFlex, Embroidery, and All-Over Print (AOP) products.
It’s important to note that inside labels can only be added to garments that come with a tear-away label. This ensures the original label can be safely removed and replaced with your custom design. If a product’s default label can’t be removed without damaging the garment, inside label customization won’t be available.
To quickly find eligible products, use the Product catalog filter:
- Expand Branding options
- Select Inside label
What information needs to be included?
Your inside label must include legally required garment specs. You don’t need to add them manually; they’re automatically included in the label templates based on the ordered product variant.
Each inside label template includes:
- Country of origin
- Garment size
- Material information
- Care instructions
You can only customize your logo or brand design. The rest is handled automatically and adjusts to the specific product and size your customer orders.
Where do I find the inside label templates?
- Open the product in Design Maker.
- Click Inside label in the top toolbar.
- In the Layers panel, you’ll see several ready-to-use templates.
- Choose a template and add your logo or custom design.
How do color groups work in the Design Maker?
The Design Maker organizes products into three color categories to ensure your design has enough contrast when printed on different product colors.
- Dark – for black, navy, dark green, and gray
- Bright – for bold colors like orange and mustard
- Light – for soft shades like white, mint, and light gray
Each group features a unique label template. Once you’ve customized one group, you can use the Copy designs to function to apply your label to the remaining two. Built-in contrast checks will alert you if your design lacks sufficient visibility, requiring adjustments before proceeding.
How do I change the inside label colors?
Each inside label template comes with default colors to ensure good contrast:
- Black is used for Light and Bright product color groups
- White is used for Dark product color groups
These defaults work well in most cases, but you may want to adjust the colors to better match your brand or design. For example, you might soften the contrast on lighter garments to reduce the chance of the print showing through on the outside.
To change the colors in your inside label:
- Select the element you want to edit (either directly on the canvas or from the Layers panel)
- Click Color in the top toolbar
- Choose your preferred color
- Repeat these steps for any other elements you want to adjust
Make sure your final design still has enough contrast to remain readable on the selected garment color group.
Design tips and limitations
Here are some key things to keep in mind:
- File format: Submit files in PNG format, with transparent backgrounds.
- Color and resolution: Use RGB, at actual size, with at least 150 DPI.
- Fonts: Convert text to outlines and use a minimum 10 pt size for readability.
- Language: Labels should be in English to ensure clarity for most customers.
- Avoid white-on-white designs: White ink on white backgrounds won’t print correctly.
- Don’t include garment specs in your design: These are added automatically and don’t need to be part of your artwork.
What about cut & sew products?
Cut & sew items come with a sewn-in label. These labels are handled differently and don’t require product specs. However, if you’re designing one, your file must include a colored background.
