Care and Content Labels

Every Avery Dennison RBIS label features complex variable data including:

  • international sizing,
  • multilingual care instructions,
  • country of origin information, and
  • product codes

to help communicate important information to the consumer in a visually appealing way. 

Information can be printed, fabric, or woven, and labels are designed to meet both industry regulations and RSL standards. Plus, they are managed through our global Compliance Solutions so you never have to worry about consistency or integrity.

Global Care Labels

Meet the local requirements of each selling market with our Global Care Label solutions. Our expert team has multilingual care and content data capabilities that make for a hassle-free distribution process.

Multi-Panel Labels
Avery Dennison can create care labels with four, six, or even eight readable panels. This flexibility allows for all essential information–including translations–to sit on a single label, while keeping label length to manageable proportions.

Certified Safe: RSL + Oekotex
Avoiding harmful chemical substances is a critical part of RBIS’ commitment to sustainability. That’s why we offer care label materials that meet–or exceed–recognized industry standards, such as Oekotex, which comply with Restricted Substance Lists (RSLs) published by Avery Dennison and our customers.
