Garments normally carry separate care/treatment labels which, in some regions, are subject to legislation.<ref>[http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus50-clothes-captioning-complying-care-labeling-rule "Clothes Captioning: Complying with the Care Labeling Rule"].

Textile labels may be woven into the garment or attached, and can be heat resistant (so survivable in hot-air dryers and when pressed), colorfast (so does not bleed onto the garment), washable, [[leather]] or PVC/Plastic. Printed labels are an alternative to woven labels. Some upholstered furniture and mattresses have labels that are required by law, describing the contents of the stuffing.

Textiles containing pesticides as an ingredient may also require government approval and compulsory labeling. In the USA, for example, labels have to state the pesticide registration number, statement of ingredients, storage and disposal information, and the following statement: "It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling”. A label including a company name or identification number and a material content list may also be required.<ref>[http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus21-threading-your-way-through-labeling-requirements-under-textile-and-wool-acts "Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts"].
