Private label scrub branding checklist for first orders
Neck labels, care labels, hang tags, embroidery and cartons — what buyers should confirm before approving a pre-production sample.
Private label medical scrubs succeed when branding is locked before bulk cutting — not after garments are sewn. Use this checklist on every first order with an OEM factory.
Neck / brand label: confirm woven vs printed, fold type, care-symbol language (EN/ISO vs US), and exact placement. Supply vector artwork and a physical label reference if you have one.
Size and care labels: agree fibre content wording, wash temperature icons and country-of-origin text. Mixed markets (EU + US) often need dual-language care copy — decide this before digitising.
Hang tags and polybags: barcode format, SKU structure, folding method and whether bags are retail-ready. Ratio packing by size should match your warehouse scan process.
Embroidery or print: send logo files, thread Pantones, size in millimetres, and placement diagrams for left chest, sleeve or back. Approve a sew-out or strike-off on the actual fabric, not only on paper.
Export cartons: printed marks, your brand name, order number and destination labels. Branded cartons reduce mis-ships when multiple programmes leave the same factory in one week.
Only release bulk after a signed pre-production sample that includes labels, trims and decoration. That sample becomes the quality reference for inspection.
Artwork and thread standards
Send vector logos, thread Pantones and placement diagrams in millimetres. Approve sew-outs on the actual fabric colour, not only white ground cloth.
Warehouse-ready packing
Barcode format, SKU structure and ratio packing should match how your DC scans cartons. Misaligned packing creates receiving delays that erase FOB savings.
Launch sequence
Use this checklist with MOQ and slab pricing, then brief Mexico Scrubs for your first private label release.
