Hmmm i guess another route would be to attach a label onto it 🙄

You’ve got two problems – firstly sourcing the new labels, which apart from having to look better than the ones youre replacing, also have to meet legal standards as to fibre content indications / wash instructions etc. I think all woven labels are now produced in the far east ( minimum 3 week leadtime) and 5000 minimums are usual – but we have sourced as low as 1000. We can recommend several UK based suppliers with Chinese production. You may have to pay 30 to 40p per label for this sort of quantity + a jaquard cost of £50/£60.
Having got your labels, you need somebody to remove the old ones, which if done properly, needs the back neck tape lifted and the new label inserted where the old one was. There are large scale suppliers (1000 units +) in the Uk, but we could also recommend somebody that will do them in dozens. Don’t forget that the cost of moving the shirts around can be more than the shirt’s worth. Expect to pay 30p or so for the re-labelling work.
Let me know if you need more info.

Hi John
I know this is an old topic,but I had the same problem as you-but from the other perspective-of people removing my labels 🙂 🙂

After a lot of thought, I ended up putting my company name on in vinyl.Been doing that for seven years now,and it’s worked a treat.
Obviously might be too time consuming if you have a complex logo or bulk quantities though 🙁 🙁

Take the labels out yourself with a stitch remover.
Then screen print your label onto the back of the neck inside
way way cheaper than any other method.
1 colour screen setup with a mini screen would cost no more than about
£250 -300 and then you can use it for other logos too.
thats what we are going to be doing when we get our carousel up and running again, bit big for what we need it for with 5 colours and 2 boards but Im sure we will start to make use of it once its up and running

I use darkjet transfer paper from xpres, print a label slightly smaller than the original make the colour dark enough to cover makers name and heat press on. You can do all kinds of different labels and number them with phone no,web address etc or number for limited editions if selling fashion T’s.

Works for me on most labels and some that have the care instructions on the back are the easiest.

Hope this helps

Ive used subli flock as well as dark jet, works ok but the screen process ensures no sweaty necks make the transfer peel off as they commonly do with dark jet.
Once sweat hits it it peels.
We supply a pub singer and his are always peeling round the edges but he is rather overweight so sweats more than most.
he just has them repressed every few weeks
