About this company

Cacotec is a digital venture founded and funded by Label Kings, a US-based company that has been in the apparel label industry for almost 30 years, working with many famous fashion brands like Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Theory, Tom Brady, Alexander Wang, etc.

Their team is focused on digitizing the apparel industry and helping eliminate the negative impact on our environment. The idea is to make the entire process of care labels more eco-friendly by using QR codes. This would also open up a whole new world of possibilities as you could guard against counterfeiting, provide unlimited translations, make content more accessible to people with disabilities, etc...
