We sell some shirts that we have designed over the years and have dealt with some small wholesale orders for them. My wife has been thinking about pushing them a little more. So we have discussed relabeling them.
Is it worth doing? I have seen some that look like they have all the sizes on it and one is circled, figured that may be the easiest way for small runs. I have not done much research on this so figured I would see what yalls opinion is. We currently only have a manual press and would be doing them on it.

We only do tags with grey ink. one pass no flash. Can print 300 plus an hour if needed manually. They turn out great every time. Use a 230 screen so you can do the detail and also so no ink penetrates the shirt. Don't turn them inside out just pull the shirt open over a sleeve pallet or a small pallet. I use a cut down pallet to do mine. I would print all the sizes not print one tag and mark the side. Its easy to change from size to size if you stack the tags on a screen. You just have to move the board in or out to do the next size. They look more professional that way. Tags are an added cost to do but they do add a level of professionalism and they also give you a spot to add you website.

How about printing neck tags on hoodies?

There are a couple brands out there that have a blank sewn in pad in the inner neck area to do this. If I am not mistaken AAA does, but I dont remember the model #. My client shipped them to me. But I for sure have printed tags on sweatshirts.

we do these with transfers, as direct screen on fleece doesn't look great.

on super long runs we'll print them. on smaller runs we use house-made transfers. transfers look killer and don't show through super thin garments.

If you are not doing huge runs, try printing transfers... Print them when you are slow and stock pile 'em! That way you can have a custom tag per size AND they work well on fleece...
