Licensing
Show the Zorb inside your work.
Zorb Inside® is a mark for products made with genuine Zorb®. It tells your customers what's doing the work inside. It's free. We approve each brand first, then send the artwork.
Who it's for
Makers and brands who put genuine Zorb inside the products they sell: pads, diapers, liners, bedding, towels and more.
Genuine Zorb means fabric bought from Wazoodle Fabrics, AKAS Tex, or a distributor or reseller we had approved when you bought it. Seconds and Dev Lots count.
“I know when I make a product with 3D Zorb, my customers will never be disappointed”
Naming the fabric needs no approval. Anyone using genuine Zorb can write "Made with Zorb® Technology" or the full fabric name on a label or listing. The Zorb® logo and photos from the product page are free to use too, under our brand-usage guide. Add the notice: Zorb® is a registered trademark of Wazoodle Fabrics. The Zorb Inside® mark is the badge, and it's the one part that needs our approval.
How it works
- Apply. One short form: your brand, your products, the Zorb you use and where you sell.
- We reply. You'll hear from us within one to two business days, with a decision within five. Until you hear yes in writing, please don't use the mark.
- Get the artwork. Once you're approved, we send the mark in color, black and white versions, with a short artwork guide.
- A free check, any time. Send us a link or photo of a label or listing, before or after it goes out. If we spot a problem, we'll tell you what to change.
- Be seen, if you like. Approved makers and brands can appear in "Inside these brands" below.
Using the mark
Right Color Right Black Right White Wrong Recolored Wrong Stretched Wrong Cropped Wrong: the Zorb® name used as the product's name
Wrong As a product name
Do
- Use the files exactly as we send them: color, black or white.
- Keep clear space around the mark, and keep it smaller than your own brand name, as the artwork guide shows.
- Use it on hang tags, sewn labels, packaging, listings, your website, social posts and similar marketing for your approved products.
- Add the notice: Zorb® and Zorb Inside® are registered trademarks of Wazoodle Fabrics.
Don't
- Recolor, stretch, crop or redraw it, or combine it with another mark.
- Put it on a product without genuine Zorb as an absorbent layer.
- Use the mark or the Zorb® name as your product's name ("The Zorb® Diaper").
What you can say
Fabric claims come from two places: Words you can use, in Market with Zorb on our homepage, and what the fabric's own Wazoodle product page publishes. A few you'll use most:
- Made with Zorb® Technology
- Absorbs up to ~10× its weight (Original, 3D) · up to ~8× (4D, Microfiber)
- Absorbs in under two seconds
- Fabric made in the USA
"Up to" figures describe the fabric, not your product. Build it and test it.
Claims about your finished product are yours to test: how much it holds, whether it leaks, what it's free from, whether it resists bacteria. Some may need their own regulatory review.
Regular or Silver?
Choose by how long your product goes between washes.
Washed after every use, or every day: the regular style.
Used for days between washes: the Silver style, treated with SILVERPLUS®.
For menstrual pads, use the Silver style, Zorb® Original Silver, as the core. Treated pads may need their own FDA review; Market with Zorb explains why. With Silver styles, add: Silver Plus® is a trademark of Rudolf Group.
The terms
Zorb Inside® program terms version 1.0 · effective launch date
Who we are. These terms are between you and Wazoodle Fabrics LLC ("we"), owner of the Zorb® and Zorb Inside® marks.
What this covers. Permission to use the Zorb Inside® mark. Naming the fabric ("Made with Zorb® Technology", the full fabric name) needs no permission. Our brand-usage guide covers it, whether or not you join.
Who can join. Makers and brands that sell products made with genuine Zorb® fabric. Approved resellers and distributors join through our seller program, and these terms apply to their use of the mark too.
Genuine Zorb. Fabric bought from us, AKAS Tex, or a distributor or reseller we had approved when you bought it. Seconds and Dev Lots count. For sellers, the seller conditions set where you may buy.
Cost. There is no fee.
Approval first. Makers and brands apply through the form on this page; approved sellers ask through the seller form. Don't use the mark until we've approved you in writing. We reply within one to two business days, and decide within five.
What you may use. The Zorb Inside® mark as supplied, in color, black or white. Use it on hang tags, sewn labels, packaging, listings, your website, social posts and similar marketing for your approved products. Approved sellers may use it on listings of genuine Zorb fabric sold under its full product name.
How to use the mark. Use the files as supplied. Don't recolor, stretch, crop or redraw the mark, or combine it with other marks. Follow the clear space and size shown in the artwork guide. Don't use the mark or the Zorb® name as your product's name. Add the notice: Zorb® and Zorb Inside® are registered trademarks of Wazoodle Fabrics.
Claims. Fabric claims come only from Words you can use, as currently published on zorbfabrics.com, and from the fabric's Wazoodle product page. Claims about your finished product are yours, and need your own testing. If we withdraw a claim, stop using it on new labels and listings within 30 days; stock already labeled may sell through.
Genuine Zorb inside. The mark goes only on products with genuine Zorb as an absorbent layer. Keep your purchase records while you use the mark, including any sell-through, and show them if we ask. If a product stops using genuine Zorb, stop putting the mark on it.
Checks. You can send us a link or photo of any label or listing at any time, and we'll review it free. If we ask, send us photos or a sample of a product, label or listing that carries the mark, within 30 days.
Being shown. You can choose to be listed on zorbfabrics.com. To leave the listing, email us. When permission ends, the listing comes down.
Your products. You're responsible for your products: their safety, their labels, and what you say about them.
The marks stay ours. The Zorb® and Zorb Inside® marks, and the goodwill in them, belong to us. Don't register a business name, domain, social handle or trademark that includes "Zorb".
Not a partnership. Using the mark doesn't mean we endorse, sponsor or guarantee your product. It gives no exclusivity, and you can't pass the permission to anyone else.
Ending.
- Either side can end the permission by email (ours: support@wazoodle.com). It ends on the day the email is sent. Units already labeled, and their listings, may sell through for 12 months. Remove the mark from your website, social posts and other marketing within 30 days, and stop using the artwork files.
- If something isn't right, like a missing notice, a mark that's too large, or a claim that's out of date, we'll tell you what to change. You fix it within 30 days, and your permission carries on. Until it's fixed, we may hide your listing on our site; it comes back once it's fixed.
- Three things end permission at once, with no sell-through: a false claim, an altered mark, or the mark on products without genuine Zorb. We'll tell you by email, and permission ends the day we send it. Stop all use of the mark at once, including on stock.
- What these words mean: a false claim is a fabric claim we don't publish, made knowingly or kept after we've asked you to fix it. An altered mark is one recolored, redrawn, cropped, stretched or combined with another mark.
- The parts on ownership, registration and your products carry on after the permission ends.
Larger arrangements. Your own tags and labels carrying the mark are covered here. Tags printed or supplied by AKAS Tex, and distribution agreements, are agreed separately in writing with AKAS Tex.
Changes. We may update these terms. We'll email everyone approved to use the mark at least 30 days before a new version applies. If you don't agree, you can end the permission as above.
