Tear Out Label vs. No Label: What’s Best for Your Brand?

If you're starting a clothing brand, running a print shop, or supplying custom merchandise, the type of label in your garments can make a big difference — especially if you're planning to rebrand or relabel them.

Two of the most common options you’ll come across are Tear Out Label and No Label garments. Both are designed to make personalisation easier, but each has its own strengths depending on your workflow and branding needs.

So which one is right for your business? Let’s break it down.


🏷️ What Is a Tear Out Label?

A Tear Out Label is a label (usually located at the back neck) that’s designed to be easily removed by hand. These labels typically include the manufacturer’s branding, size, and care instructions — but they can be pulled out cleanly without damaging the fabric.

✅ Pros:
  • Quick and easy to remove for rebranding

  • Ideal for adding your own woven or printed neck labels

  • Offers a clean finish without cutting or leaving rough edges

  • Gives you full control over branding

🚫 Cons:
  • Still requires a manual step in production

  • Some tear-out labels are firmer than others — test first for large runs

  • You’ll need to add your own branding and care info if removing


❌ What Is a No Label Garment?

No Label garments are made without any branding at all. Size and care instructions are often included on a separate tag at the hem or side seam. Even though they are called no label garments there is usually an unbranded size label in the back of the neck.

✅ Pros:
  • No removal needed — ready for rebranding straight out of the box

  • More comfortable for the wearer (no neck label to irritate, only usually a small size label)

  • Saves time in production

  • Sleek, minimal look — ideal for modern clothing brands

🚫 Cons:
  • May still require adding your own size/care labels for resale
