What We Make
New York Custom Labels was created to help students and designers in Manhattan's garment district produce custom clothing labels for their bespoke apparel projects. Our high grade materials, modern equipment and knowledgeable staff helped the word spread quickly.
Today, we partner with individuals, small businesses and household brand names across the country to manufacture custom labels, patches and hang tags for apparel projects of all sizes.

We offer fast delivery times, hassle free domestic shipping and the highest quality custom labels for clothing.
Woven Clothing Labels For Apparel
We produce premium woven labels and custom clothing tags that truly stand out from the competition. In particular, our damask woven labels utilize air-jet looms, fine denier thread and ultrasonic cutting machines for best-in-class woven tags. Both sew-on and iron on woven labels are available.
Woven cotton clothing labels use natural cotton thread to create your design. We also offer woven satin labels when you desire a classic appearance with raised, with embroidery-like design elements that are slightly raised off the satin background material. If you're unsure what type of fabric clothing label will work best for your project, please let us know.

Heat Transfer Labels For T-Shirts
New York Custom Labels has developed what we consider the best plastisol heat transfer labels for t-shirts. We've achieved the soft feel of a screen print, vibrant colors and the durability to withstand multiple washes. Also called tagless labels, heat transfers are arguably easier to apply than traditional fabric neck labels.
If you don't have a heat press, our transfers can be applied effectively with a home iron. Tagless clothing labels are lightweight and won't itch the skin, making them ideal for t-shirts or other undergarments. Design your tagless heat press labels in up to 4 colors. For full color t-shirt transfers or designs over 6", contact our team for a custom price quote.

Woven Patches For Hats & Beanies
Custom patches have a long history as military insignia. More recently, woven patches have become a fashionable way for brands to embellish garments. Traditional embroidered patches are generally finished with a wrapped thread edge called a 'merrowed border'. We also provide laser cut patches for custom shapes and custom iron on patches for fast application.
A woven patch is well suited to designs with small text or fine details that may not translate well on a custom embroidered patch. PVC patches are durable and look great sewn onto baseball caps. Our embossed leather patches are perfect for jeans and other fashion applications.

Custom Hang Tags For Clothing
In addition to labels, your custom apparel for retail sale deserves an eye-catching hang tag. Almost all garments sold nationwide have a paper hang tag attached for good reason. Apart from the garment itself, custom hang tags are the most attractive way for designers to reinforce brand identity and communicate important product information.
Our cardstock hang tags offer a full color print and the ability to add your artwork to both sides. They include hang tag string and safety pins. Our luxury hang tags offer exclusive options such as extra thick paper, black cardstock, custom shapes, embossed or deboss, spot gloss, metallic ink and more.
