Apparel/Textile

Danielle Elizabeth Designs tweeted a link to a picture of her tracking/care label.  Apparel is already required under other laws to have labels.  CPSIA tracking information can be added to existing labels; the tracking label does not have to be a separate label.

Barking Dog Designs has a two-label solution; one with the business name, the other with the care instructions and other info.  Pictures here and here.  Remember, the information on tracking labels does not all have to be physically in the same spot.  Barking Dog Designs also uses an RN number, which enables customers to look up the business name and location in the FTC’s database.

Challenge And Fun reports that one of their vendors uses small, ready-made size labels to indicate their batch numbers on fabric dolls.

Sue of Ecoleeko has a unique method.  She uses an inexpensive set of rubber stamps to ink her tracking info onto fabric tape, then heat-sets the ink.  If you’ve been considering hand-writing info on your tags, you should look at her idea; the results are very professional looking.

Yarn crafts (crochet, knit)

Curious Workmanship glues tracking labels printed on a laserjet to her hand-crocheted baby booties.  Description here; picture here.

Hair Bows

InfantBows is not using tracking labels, since small unlabelable items are not required to have labels.

Toys

Greco Woodcrafting has their tracking label info laser-etched onto their wooden toys, and recommends collaborating with local businesses if you can’t do an in-house labeling solution.

A business that wishes to remain anonymous stamps their info onto wooden toys using permanent inks.

Books and paper goods

Lunasea Studios incorporated their tracking info into the copyright page of their Little Vampires books.

Hilary of Blynken and Nod has to hand-write her info onto her scavenger hunt card sets, but makes it look more professional by also signing and numbering each set.

Companies that make labels in small quantity, that have been recommended by small businesses:

Namemaker
