Care symbols

Completeness and order per ISO 3758, plus fiber plausibility: wool at 60° or elastane with hot ironing gets flagged.

The risk

What it can cost.

€10,000–50,000 Typical dispute values in German competition-law enforcement (Abmahnung)
≈ €1,000 Typical opposing legal fees per cease-and-desist letter, plus your own defense costs
+ more Possible relabeling, recalls, or a cease-and-desist declaration with contractual penalties

The fix costs €69. One enforcement letter can cost a hundred times that.

Orders of magnitude from published sources on German competition law; every case is different. Not legal advice.

Why it matters

Not theory. Case files.

Munich Higher Regional Court
6 U 2046/16

“Acryl” instead of “Polyacryl” on the label: ruled anti-competitive.

2016 · Reg. (EU) No 1007/2011 Annex I
Hamm Higher Regional Court
4 U 18/18

“Merinowolle” as a fiber name: not permitted and enforceable. Only “Wolle” (wool) per Annex I is allowed.

2018 · Fiber name
Celle Higher Regional Court
13 U 184/03

Missing labeling information: ruled a competition violation, enforcement allowed.

2004 · Labeling obligations
The check finds all three mistakes in one minute.

Textile labeling is one of the most cited enforcement triggers in German fashion e-commerce, relevant to anyone selling into Germany. Outcomes depend on the case and the court. This is not legal advice; it’s why we check.

The product passport is coming.

The EU is introducing the Digital Product Passport, and textiles are among the first industries: every item gets a digital file, labeling included. Label cleanly today and you start without legacy issues.

The factory

Your factory prints the label. Who checks it?

The template

The previous customer's label becomes the template. Logo swapped, everything else stays, including their fibre names and their market.

The spec sheet

Fibre names are copied from the supplier's spec sheet. 'Spandex' is not a permitted name in the EU, 'elastane' is.

The origin

'Made in' names the country of the fabric mill, not the country where the garment was sewn.

The brand that puts the product on the market is responsible for what the label says. Not the printer, not the factory.

The check

Our team has spent more than a decade in garment production, in the factories, not only at a desk.

FAQ

Questions.

Can I trust an AI?
The AI only reads your label. The verdict comes from a fixed rule engine of 60 rules, most with their legal source – nothing is guessed. And every paid correction runs through our checks before it reaches you.
What do you check – and what not?
We check the labeling: fiber information, mandatory information, and care symbols across six markets (Germany/Austria, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland). Not part of the check: whether your label matches your actual product – that’s what you confirm – plus product safety, chemicals, customs, and the special requirements for children’s clothing. Those need their own checks.
Is this legal advice?
No. Carelabel is a structured labeling check, not legal advice. As the party placing the product on the market, you remain responsible for the accuracy of your product information.
What happens to my file?
It stays confidential and is used only for the check. Your result is available under your check ID for 30 days. More in the privacy policy.
What do I see for free?
The first finding is shown in full. The others unlock with your order.
How fast is the result?
Under a minute – instant for all six markets.
What is the correction guarantee?
If your delivered label isn't right, we correct it free of charge or refund your order. Legal fees are not covered. Every check is based on the product data you confirmed. Liability limited to the order value; details in our Terms.
Can’t I just fix it myself?
Sure – that’s why the check is free and shows the first finding in full. The fix saves you the research: a correct fiber line in the languages of your markets, a print-ready label, and the correction guarantee.
Which plan fits me?
Tag is one label for €19, no subscription. Collection is €15 a month for 6 labels a month; unused labels roll over, up to 18, while the plan is active. Brand is €150 a year with 72 labels available right away. Extra labels in Collection or Brand cost €6 each.
How do I cancel?
Any time, through the link in your receipt or by email to support@usecarelabel.com. The plan runs to the end of the paid period; labels you haven’t used by then expire. Delivered labels, certificates and verify pages stay online.
What does the Digital Product Passport have to do with this?
From 2027 the EU introduces the digital product passport for textiles – every item gets a digital file, and labeling is its foundation. Label cleanly today and the groundwork is done. More above. We’ll keep you posted.
Which formats can I upload?
Photo (JPG, PNG, HEIC) or PDF, up to 20 MB. A phone photo of the sewn-in label or a screenshot of your product data works too.
