EU Regulations for Care Labels

ENSURING COMPLIANCE

EU Regulations for Care Labels

The new EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) introduces stricter care label requirements, driving greater transparency, durability, and compliance across the textile industry. Brands are now required to provide clear washing instructions, fabric composition details, and recycling information in a standardised format throughout the EU.

With upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements, care labels must also include traceability data to support a more sustainable and circular economy.

By adopting Variable Data Cloud® (VDC), brands can stay ahead of evolving regulations, simplify compliance, and improve both efficiency and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Variable Data Cloud®

This is a small text section

To ensure clarity, compliance, and ease of understanding, care labels must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Structured Information Layout
    Separate textile composition details from other product information, such as care instructions or washing guidelines, to improve label usability and make essential details easy to identify.
  • Fabric Composition Transparency
    Clearly state the fabric composition in descending percentage order, so consumers and businesses can easily understand the garment’s material breakdown — supporting informed choices around comfort, durability, and sustainability.
  • Consistent and Legible Typography
    Use clear, uniform typography, consistent in font, size, and style, to ensure the label is easy to read and meets compliance standards across all products.

At Rudholm, we stay up to date with the latest EU requirements, ensuring that all washing symbols used in our care label system comply with international wash-symbol standards. This guarantees that your labels meet regulatory expectations while providing clear and accurate care instructions for consumers.
