The federal Law CPSIA (2008) requires us to label products with the manufacturing information. We know our customers care about product safety but also that the addition of the attribution is not desirable from a visual perspective. We do our best to place the text in position that will make it less noticeable. We print it in as small letters as we can but still be legible. Some licensed properties require ® and © identifiers, we include those in the same location.
Your design requires CPSIA information if the product is designed for or intended to be used by children under the age of 12. This basically means that any order that contains Adult medium or smaller shirts. If you happen to know that no children WILL use the product, the law reads that if a child COULD use the product, it requires the text. The CPSIA attribution line identifies the manufacturer and where to see the certificate of compliance.
For licensing attributions, each license owner has specifications. Below I’ve included pictures of one of most common licensed properties.
Below are some example photos or ones that we were unable to hide in the design:
An example of a Licensed product with CPSIA and licensing information.
Basic designs are harder to hide the line, but as you see, it does not stand out at all:
The only real problem is left crest or really small designs and licensing. No place to hide it. Here is an example:
