Whether you're a fashion startup, D2C label or merch creator, custom tag printing is your silent salesperson—conveying quality, care and credibility. We're not just printing tags—we're helping brands stand out. Let's dive into how neck label printing can give your apparel that pro-level edge!

Custom Tag Printing for branding

What Is a Neck Label?

A neck label is a subtle but powerful identifier printed or sewn into the inside back of a garment—usually at the neckline. It typically includes essential info like the brand logo, garment size, fabric composition, care instructions and sometimes even a catchy tagline.

But it's more than just a functional label. For modern clothing brands, the neck label is a signature touch—an opportunity to make a lasting impression right from the very first look.

At Wanna Ink, we specialize in neck label printing that blends perfectly with the fabric, ensuring comfort, durability and a professional finish. Whether you're launching a streetwear drop or a corporate uniform, a clean, customized neck label adds an edge that elevates your entire brand.

Why Tag Printing Is a Game-Changer for Your Clothing Line

Gone are the days of itchy, generic labels. Today's shoppers look for comfort, clarity and creativity—even in the smallest details. With our fabric tag printing and garment tag printing services, you can:

✔ Add your brand logo or size info inside the neckline
✔ Replace traditional neck tags with soft, tagless neck labels
✔ Print care instructions or messages that feel personal
✔ Offer a more polished, premium unboxing experience

Whether you need personalized neck labels for high-end tees or want to launch an eco-friendly collection, we've got the right printing method to suit your brand's voice. Our water-based inks are entirely unnoticeable to the touch, which means you will not feel any discomfort on the back of your neck while wearing your t shirt. It looks great and also gets rid of the itchy, irritating manufacturer tag.

Your Guide to Designing the Perfect Tag

To make your screen printed neck label pop, we've got some ground rules to keep things sharp and professional. These details ensure your custom neck labels look great and do their job. Here's what you need to know:

Artwork Size

For tag printing, our standard artwork size is 3″ x 3″ max. Want a bigger t shirt neck label? We can print larger tags, but the price goes up a bit. Keep your design within these limits for the best bang for your buck.

Ink Colors

We keep it simple with standard ink colors: black, white, or grey for most neck label printing orders. These give your clothing neck label a clean, classic look at no extra cost. Got a wild idea? Custom ink colors are available, but you'll need at least 100 pieces per design. Oh, and heads-up: ink color changes aren't allowed mid-order, so pick one and stick with it!

Multi-color Tag Art

Dreaming of a customised neck label with multiple ink colors? We love the enthusiasm! However, multi-color tag art requires a minimum of 500 pieces, and prices vary depending on the complexity. Want to go this route? Contact us for a custom quote, and we'll sort out the details.

Recommended Information

Your neck tags for t-shirts should do more than look pretty—they should work hard too. We recommend adding:

  • Company Name: Show off who made this awesome tee.
  • Fabric Contents: Let folks know if it's cotton, poly, or a blend.
  • Country of Origin: A pro move for transparency.
  • Care Instructions: Help customers keep their t-shirts fresh.

These make your custom tag printing both stylish and super practical.

Size of the Font

Readability is key for neck label printing. We suggest a minimum font size of 3 points, with bold text to stand out on your t shirt neck label. Want to go smaller? We can try, but tiny fonts might blur, especially depending on your tee's color, style, or ink. Stick to 3 points for a clothing neck label that's clear as day.

Print Placement for Art

When we print your custom neck labels, there's a 0.75" placement allowance in any direction. That means your design might shift slightly—up, down, left, or right—by up to 0.75 inches. No worries, though; we'll make sure your screen printed neck label still looks spot-on.

How Tag Printing Comes Together

We've built our tag printing online process to be as smooth as your favorite tee. Whether you're designing your first customised neck label or ordering thousands, here's how it works:

  1. Create Your Design: Upload your logo (3″ x 3″ max), choose black, white, or grey ink (or custom for 100+ pieces), and add text like care instructions. Our design studio tool is dead simple.
  2. Pick Your Options: Want tagless neck labels for a soft feel? Need old tags removed? Tell us what's up (more on tag removal below).
  3. Approve the Proof: We'll send a digital mockup to double-check your screen printed neck label is perfect.
  4. Print & Ship: We'll crank out your neck labels for t-shirts and ship them fast. The minimum order is just 50 pieces per design.

No fuss, no stress—just awesome custom tag printing ready to roll.

Handling Existing Tags

If your t-shirts already have tags, we can clear the way for your new screen printed neck labels. Here's how we handle it:

  • Tearaway Tags: Got tearaway tags? We'll rip those out for free—no charge at all. Just a note: sometimes, small bits of the tag might stick in the seam. If that's okay, we're good to go. If you want every speck gone, you'll need our full tag removal service, as we're not responsible for leftover scraps without it.
  • Tag Removal: For sewn-in tags, we'll carefully unpick them, but it adds +3 days to your turnaround and comes with standard tag removal fees (starting at ₹3 per piece). Every t-shirt's seam is different, so removal varies, but we'll make your customised neck labels look seamless.

Let us know what you need, and we will ensure your neck label printing is perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Tag Printing

Everything you wanted to know about tag printing for clothes – right here!

Tag printing is the process of printing brand and garment information (like size, care instructions, or logo) directly onto the fabric inside a garment—usually on the neckline or waistline.

Woven labels are separate fabric tags sewn into garments, while tag printing is directly printed on the garment. Tag printing feels seamless and tagless, offering a smoother wearing experience.

T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, polos—basically anything with enough interior surface area for a clean print.

Water-based and discharge inks are most popular for neck label printing because they feel soft to the touch and don't cause irritation.

Yes, but most customers prefer single-color prints for neck labels to keep it subtle, minimal and cost-effective.

Absolutely. We use high-quality inks and curing processes to ensure your tags don't fade or crack over time.

You just need your logo, brand name, size info and optional care instructions. Our team can help you design a layout that works across sizes and products.

Yes, for best results. We recommend removing the original tags before applying printed neck labels, unless you're layering the print over an existing blank space.

Neck label requirements can vary depending on where you're selling your clothes, but there are some universal essentials every brand should include:

  • Brand name or logo
  • Garment size (S, M, L, etc.)
  • Fabric composition (like 100% Cotton or Cotton-Poly blend)
  • Care instructions (washing, drying, ironing)
  • Country of origin (e.g., Made in India)
  • Manufacturer details or license info (if required by law)

If you're selling internationally, you may also need to follow specific labeling regulations for that country. At Wanna Ink, we help ensure your neck label printing meets both branding and legal standards—so you never have to worry about compliance or customer trust.
