For clothing, I am going to use two labels, one with Co. info and one with care instructions and I will be sewing them in.
For aniamls, I am going to use two labels also, one with Co. info and one double-sided with care instructions on one side and choking hazard info on other side. They also will be sewn in.
what about headbands???? I am so confused as to what I am going to do!!!! I have headbands and hairclips, do the labels have to be sewn on or glued or can they just be attatched with a safty pin or something?
Barking dog that is fabulous!!! Did you use a tute do make those? I'm not the greatest figuring out things on the computer, but surely I can figure this out. You said they are 1 inch wide by how long? And is that folded length or before folded length? Oh, and I thought we were supposed to have the city, state, and country on them?
Thanks again, makes me feel a little better about this whole issue!

Please read the most recent label info from the CPSC. It answers your question.
There is also a product called "Printed Treasures" that most quilt shops sell. It is the same thing as what Barkingdog used. I like the fabric better in the "PT".

No, I didn't use a tute. I am a graphic designer by profession, so it was simple for me to typeset and lay out a sheet.
The flat label measures 1" wide x 2-13/16" long. When folded, it is about 1-7/16" long. There is a 1/4" seam allowance at the top and bottom, so the part that is visible after attaching it to the item is approximately 1-1/8" long.
The RN (Registered Identification Number) takes the place of my company name and address.
I make labels for each of my products. I name them too. I know it is alot more work, but each item is individualized to the max that way. I use Printshop and have many punches available. You need to use a punch that allows you to see your label while you are punching it. Try it and have some fun.
Newark Dressmaker Supply---www.newarkdress.com--has many labels that you can customize. I have always used theirs and have been pleased. They have size and care labels as well. I will probably be ordering custom labels with my name and location and will write the DOM on the back of the care label.
