Our bamboo is grown on managed farms/plantations in Southeastern China. Since all of the fiber processing is done in China and there is an abundance of bamboo growing in China, we use the bamboo grown there. We hope that, in time, we can purchase our viscose from bamboo here in the U.S.A. After importing the fiber, Bamboosa completes the manufacturing processes (spinning, knitting, dyeing, and sewing) in South Carolina.

Last week I posted 5 ways to make your own fabric labels which is great if you just need a few labels. If you are a serious crafter or small manufacturer and need a larger quantity of labels, you may need to order custom fabric labels. A quantity of 1000 is the typical minimum order for custom labels. The eco-friendly options are increasing rapidly and currently include materials like organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, coconut, and mother of pearl. The number of manufacturers carrying eco-friendly labels and hangtags is slowly increasing. When I first ordered labels for Tiny Décor, one of the few places offering eco-friendly options was BCI Labels and they came highly recommended. I chose to order embroidered hemp labels. For hangtags, I fell in love with Botanical Paperworks wildflower seed infused papers. Finding the right fabric labels and hangtags to promote your brand is a long journey and not one to be taken lightly.
