Abstract

Abstract A textile label, that is destinated to be applied to several different types of products, such as clothing, or to any other article, in order to distinguish the corresponding products. It is possible to quickly obtain a showing, without any light being required or even in total darkness, of many details of interest to the buyer or to the user of the product. Characteristically, the textile label is made in the manner of a textile substrate, having incorporated therein at least one phosphorescent thread that forms one or more embroideries. This thread can readily be seen from the top surface or from the bottom surface of the label. The textile label provides quick and easy control over the origin and quality of a highly recognized distinguished product to which it is attached, preventing its total falsification by anyone.
