Three ways to add a neck label to a printed tee or hoodie
Center fold in the seam
The label folds in half and the back neck seam holds both cut ends, so it looks factory-made. This is what most professional brands use. Plan on opening the seam if the blank is already finished. See center fold labels.
End fold, sewn flat
Both ends fold under and the label is stitched flat below the neck seam, with no seam to open. It is the quicker route on finished blanks, and on hoodies it sits neatly on the back panel. See end fold labels.
Iron-on woven label
A heat-activated backing with no stitching, for brands without a sewing setup. Stitching lasts longer, so you can iron on to position the label and then tack the corners. See iron-on woven labels.
Step-by-step stitching is in how to attach woven labels to clothing, and a side-by-side of every fold is in the fold type guide.

Before you take the original tag out of a blank
Replacing a blank's neck tag with your brand is common and allowed, but clothing sold in the US still has to show fiber content, country of origin, the manufacturer's identity and care instructions. Move that information to your own label or to a separate printed care label in the side seam. The full list is in clothing label requirements in the USA. Selling sizes separately? Add woven size labels beside the neck label.
