I've put up a post giving links to examples of tracking labels: http://www.whatisthecpsia.com/?p=563 If you've got a blog post or Flickr pic of your labels and would like to have your link included in this post, please convo me.
Or anyone else that knows the answer to my question! OK, so I bought the June Tailor Colorfast sew-in inkjet sheets. But on the back of the package it says *do not use detergent. Printed sheets can be washed by hand or machine in cold water.* So, has anyone actually washed these in detergent? In my business they would defiantly need to be able to be washed with detergent.
Or maybe I could put something on the label saying garment may be washed with detergent in warm water; however, DO NOT under penalty of law wash tracking label in detergent!! LOL
I also saw those insructions on the back of the June Tailor package. The items to which I attach labels are are not washable, so using detergent was not an issue for me.
However, if I was in your position where washing of the article and label was necessary, I would say "hand or machine wash (gentle cycle) in cold water with mild soap."
A mild soap would be something like Woolite and you could recommend the use of that product in the care instructions. I think that's the best you could do -- you have no control over how people do their laundry.

Hey GiggleKids,
It doesn't hurt to do a test. Then you know for sure. If it doesn't work - take the transfers back.
I ran my labels through 5 washes on warm heavy duty cycle and the dryer before I declared them wash safe. I keep all the label tests on one piece of fabric and just keep rewashing it - so now who knows how many washes and dries, and they still look great. (Now I sell labels, so I want to know they'll do well.)
Have you checked with the manufacturer for CPSIA compliance?

OMG! I was THRILLED to see this forum. NICEDESIGNS does my labels and I LOVE THEM!! They are very professional looking and I get compliments all the time.
