A sports bra usually carries an inside print instead of a sewn neck label, a small wash-care label, a heat transfer logo on the underband or back, and a hang tag; for a set, the bottoms carry a matching logo on the waistband and both pieces can be packed together in one bag. Getting gym set packaging and labels right is about two things: comfort against the skin, and making two garments feel like one product.
Here is how each element works, what to decide, and what to send us.
Inside branding and care labels
Inside print
An inside print can replace a sewn neck label on a sports bra. Your logo and size are printed directly onto the fabric, usually at the back. Nothing rubs during training, which matters on a garment worn this close to the skin. On the bottoms of a set, the same approach works inside the waistband.
Keep the artwork simple: a logo or wordmark plus the size. Fine lines and small type soften on stretch fabric.
Woven label
A small woven label is an alternative where you want crisp detail. On a bra, keep it small and soft-edged, as wearers notice labels more on bras than on almost any other garment.
Wash-care label
A small care label is kept for wash details. It carries fibre content, care instructions and any other text you supply. Requirements differ between countries, so the details are confirmed at quotation based on where you sell. If pads are included, the care wording can mention removing them before washing. Read the proof word by word before approving.
Logos on the outside
A small heat transfer logo suits a sports bra because it moves with the fabric. The usual positions:
- Underband, front: visible in front-facing photographs.
- Back, between the shoulder blades: visible when the bra is worn alone in the gym.
- Waistband of the bottoms: front or back, matched to the bra.
Repeating the position across top and bottom is what makes a set look designed. If the bra logo sits on the front underband, the leggings or shorts logo works well on the front waistband. One position per garment usually looks cleaner than several.
Hang tags for single pieces and sets
A hang tag carries your brand to the customer. For a standalone bra, one tag on the garment is simple. For a set, decide:
- One tag per set or one per piece. One tag keeps a packed set tidy; one per piece suits separates.
- What it says. Logo, style name, fabric, size of each piece, a short brand line.
- Barcode or sticker area, if you sell through a retailer or marketplace.
- Attachment point. Usually the bra band or the waistband of the bottoms.
If a store or marketplace has its own tagging requirements, the seller confirms the current requirements with them, and we tag to the specification the seller gives us.
Packing sets: together or separately
This is the biggest packing decision in the category.
| Packed together | Packed separately | |
|---|---|---|
| Product | One set, one bag | Two products that match |
| Sizes | Pairings chosen in advance | Customer picks each size |
| Labelling | One sticker per set | One sticker per piece |
| Suits | Gift buyers, simple listings | Online separates, size-mixed buyers |
We can pack each set in one bag with your branding. Packing together means matching sizes and colours into pairs during packing, so give us a clear list of pairings, including any mixed-size pairs such as an S bra with M bottoms.
Other packing options:
- each piece or set folded to a set size;
- plain or printed polybags;
- size or barcode stickers on each bag from codes you supply;
- cartons packed and marked by style, colour and size, or by set.
If you sell through more than one channel, give us one specification per channel with the quantities for each. Our page on labels, tags and packaging covers the general options across our range.
What to send us
Before sampling, gather:
- logo artwork, preferably vector, with colours specified;
- inside print or label artwork, with the sizes to show;
- care label wording, including pad removal if relevant;
- logo positions for the bra and the bottoms;
- hang tag design, and whether one tag covers a set;
- packing instructions: together or separately, pairings, stickers.
Every element appears on the sample. Check it as your customer will: open the bag, read the tag, check the inside print against the skin, and look at the two pieces side by side in daylight. Then approve, and the sample becomes the reference for production and our quality check.
See the styles and branding options on our white label sports bras and gym sets page, then send us your artwork and packing instructions with your enquiry. We confirm every branding element in the quotation.
