Abstract: A two-part garment label is provided. A first detachable part includes inventory information that may be separated along a perforation from the garment care part of the label that is sewn into the garment. The part of the label carrying the inventory information is then attached to the hanger supporting the garment by passing the hook of the hanger through an aperture in the inventory portion of the label. The inventory portion of the label is not separated from the garment care portion of the label until the garment is made ready for shipment or sale. The inventory portion of the label may display machine-readable inventory information and the accuracy of the machine-readable inventory information is ensured because it remains attached to the correct garment until the garment is made ready for shipment or sale.
