Just want to share my CPSIA handmade label instructions

[#1]

I've been looking at several methods to create my own CPSIA tracking labels. I found most of the helpful info here in these forums and I've tweaked some of the ideas to create a very easy printable label, which I can sew into the seam of my stuffed toys. Just print, cut and sew them in. I've posted full instructions here http://sockmonkey.shopping.officelive.com/labels.aspx and I've also included a template for the labels to make it easier. These are 100% cotton labels printed with ink jet (CMYK) ink printer, so they are CPSIA compliant, no lead or pthalates are in them, so no need to have them tested.

Your information is great! I do have a concern though, what about a run and batch number? I am currently using a fellow Etsian to make my labels for me, who has lots of knowledge about the labels since it's all she makes in her shop. My labels have my shop name, address, made in the USA from imported fabric, fabric content, care instructions and a date and run/batch number. I purchased a stamp set from Staples that you can change out the numbers and letters and hand stamp the labels. I use non-toxic archival ink from Michaels to stamp each one. Now I only make a limited amount of each fabric pattern when I make bibs and blankets so this makes the most sense to me since I only make a few of each batch from the fabric. Those are just my thoughts on it. I would rather have too much information on my labels instead of not enough. Those fines are said to be pretty hefty.

Thank you so much for the information! I was wondering if anyone, after using Sockanimal's template, has used The Instructables web site for making your own inkjet fabric paper? It uses freezer paper adhered to the fabric. It can be found at http://www.instructables.com/id/Inkjet-Printing-on-Fabric/ and I think I'm going to try it and see how it works out for me.
