GINETEX

First founded in Paris, in 1963, GINETEX, the International Association for Textile Care Labelling, has devised an internationally applicable care labelling system for textiles based on symbols, which aims at informing textile companies and consumers on the best way to care for their textiles. The pictograms used are registered trademarks and are property of GINETEX and COFREET in equal parts. GINETEX promotes these symbols worldwide and coordinates its technical contents on a global scale - which is essential for the definition and application of the care labelling code. Today, GINETEX counts 22 member-countries.
