Fiber Content for Fabrics - Labeling Made Easy
Labeling is important for many reasons. Most importantly, for your finished articles it's also a requirement. We realize that not everyone is a fiber expert. We continue to get questions about the fiber content of our fabrics for labeling the finished articles. In this blog post, we hope to answer some of the most common questions about fiber content, regulations & labeling.
Fiber content is essentially what the fabric is made of. The fiber content determines the label required for your finished article. However in some cases you are not required to disclose what's in it, or at least some parts of it.
If a fabric is being used as an interlining, then there's a good possibility it does not need to be disclosed. It's ONLY if the interlining is added to an article to provide warmth then it has to be disclosed, otherwise it is not required. This is in compliance with both US and Canada regulations. Regulations of other countries also possibly have the same requirements given the global trading of textile products. To explain it clearly we have compiled information from the US and Canada regulations.
