So that pretty much covers just about every clothing label symbol that you could possibly need, but maybe you’d like to know more about them. In that case, I can highly recommend to you a site by the name of Apparel Search.

Here you’ll find plenty of related information such as the fact that these care symbols are managed by an organisation named GINETEX. Apparel Search also has more information about ISO Care Symbols and NAFTA Care Symbols.
