Please use our label.

标签 (biāo qiān) is the standard word for product labels, hang tags, and branding tags. The instruction is simple, but the execution requires a file, placement guidance, and size confirmation.

请用我们的标签。

qǐng yòng wǒ men de biāo qiān

Please use our label/branding tag — requesting that the factory apply your branded label to the product or packaging instead of their own or a generic one.

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS

Please use our label/branding tag — requesting that the factory apply your branded label to the product or packaging instead of their own or a generic one.

WHEN IT FITS

Requesting private label or OEM branding on productsSwitching from factory's generic packaging to your branded packagingConfirming label specifications before production

“Please use our label” is an instruction that says almost nothing by itself. What label? Where? What size? What material? Applied to the product or the packaging? A Chinese factory receiving 请用我们的标签 without supporting detail will either guess (and likely guess wrong) or stop production to ask questions (which you should have answered upfront). The instruction is the starting point of a specification, not a complete directive.

The Chinese word 标签 (biāo qiān) covers a wide range of physical labels, and you need to specify which kind. 吊牌 (diào pái) is a hang tag — the cardstock tag hanging from a garment with a string or plastic fastener. 织标 (zhī biāo) is a woven label sewn into fabric. 贴纸 (tiē zhǐ) is a sticker label applied to a surface. 洗水标 (xǐ shuǐ biāo) is the care instruction label inside clothing. 包装标 (bāo zhuāng biāo) is a label printed on the packaging. If you say 标签 without specifying, the factory will default to whatever is cheapest, which may not be what you want.

The practical workflow: send the label file in the format the factory specifies (usually AI, PDF, or CDR for printing), confirm dimensions in millimeters with a tolerance (e.g., 50mm × 50mm ±1mm), and provide a placement reference — ideally a photo or diagram with the label position marked. The instruction 标签位置参照图片 (label position per the reference image) saves more back-and-forth than any paragraph of text. Also confirm: who pays for label dies (刀模, dāo mó) if the label is a custom shape? Custom dies cost $30-100 and are typically a one-time charge. And if you’re doing private label for the first time, ask for a photo of the labeled product before bulk labeling begins: 先做一个贴好标签的样品拍照给我确认 (make one sample with the label applied and send a photo for my confirmation). One photo can prevent a thousand mislabeled units.

Make it neutral packaging — no branding at all, neither yours nor the factory's.

You want unbranded products for resale under multiple brands or for sampling

用你们的品牌也没关系。

Using your brand is fine too. — acceptable for stock products where the factory's brand doesn't matter.

You're buying stock products and brand doesn't affect your resale — saves label customization cost
