Some upholstered furniture and mattresses have labels that are required by law, describing the contents of the stuffing. Printed labels are an alternative to woven labels.

Textile labels may be woven into the garment or attached, and may be heat resistant (so survivable in hot-air dryers and when pressed), colorfast (so does not bleed onto the garment), washable, leather or PVC/Plastic. dry cleaning), whether bleach can be used. These labels typically indicate how the item should be washed (e.g., machine washed vs. Garments normally carry separate care/treatment labels which, in some regions, are subject to legislation. For example, the US Military uses a UID system for its assets. They are usually tamper-evident, permanent or frangible and usually contain a barcode for electronic identification using readers. Such labels are frequently made of engraved Traffolyte or a similar material. In industrial or military environments, asset labeling is used to clearly identify assets for maintenance and operational purposes. They also may be used to help resist or indicate tampering or pilferage. These may carry pricing, barcodes, UPC identification, usage guidance, addresses, advertising, recipes, and so on.

Packaging may have labeling attached to or integral with the package. These labels include information like brand name, class and type designation, and alcohol content. For example, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides standards to regulate the information provided on the labels and packaging of wine and spirits. Labels for food and beverages typically include critical information pertinent to the contents or ingredients used in a product, and may also state allergy risks such as the presence of gluten or soy. For example, a label on a new refrigerator has installation, usage and environmental information: the label needs to be able to be removed cleanly and easily from the unit once installed. Removable product labels need to bond until they are removed. For example, a VIN plate on an automobile must be resistant to heat, oils and tampering similarly, a food label must endure until the food has been used. Permanent product identification by a label is commonplace labels need to remain secure throughout the life of the product. They may be stickers, permanent or temporary labels or printed packaging. Labels may be used for any combination of identification, information, warning, instructions for use, environmental advice or advertising. Fire extinguisher with permanent and temporary labels
