Easy to work with, attentive and professional. I ordered the cotton hem tags with the manhattan fold. The ink color is spot on and the hem tags have a quality feel (sturdy yet soft to the skin). A good tag to boost the quality of shirts and bags.
Great quality work. Terrific price. Very fast turnaround and exceptional customer service.
Great company to get your designs get the implementations done.
Woven Labels vs Printed Labels: Which Is Right for Your Brand?
The decision between woven clothing labels and printed alternatives depends on your design requirements, aesthetic preferences, and use case.
Woven clothing labels integrate your design into the fabric structure using precision-dyed threads, creating that luxurious texture fashion designers prize. This construction ensures permanent branding that never fades, peels, or deteriorates — maintaining brand integrity throughout the garment's lifespan. Our woven fashion labels capture up to 12 colors beautifully and excel at reproducing fashion logos, designer wordmarks, and sophisticated graphics. They're the definitive choice for premium clothing brands, boutique designers, and luxury apparel lines.
Printed clothing labels apply design elements onto fabric surfaces using advanced ink systems (lithographic print, dye-sublimation print, screen print). They excel at capturing unlimited colors, photographic imagery, and complex gradient effects impossible with a woven label. They are ideal for soft care labels, small laundry symbols and any small text situation. While fairly durable, they may experience slight color mellowing after extensive wash cycles.
Recommendations: Select woven labels for a premium textile texture and luxury positioning that resonates with style-conscious consumers. Opt for printed when your design demands small text for care labels, photographic reproduction or soft satin material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's a woven label and why do designers love them?
A woven label is a fabric clothing label where design elements are integrated into the material structure using colored threads during the weaving process, rather than surface-applied ink. This creates exceptionally durable, professional-grade labels that maintain their appearance indefinitely — never fading, cracking, or peeling. This makes woven labels the discerning choice for premium clothing brands seeking that definitive quality positioning.
Q: What's the difference between woven and printed labels?
Woven labels achieve design integration through sophisticated weaving processes, delivering that coveted premium texture and lifetime durability that fashion brands demand. Printed alternatives utilize surface ink application — offering options with photographic reproduction capabilities, though they may experience gradual color softening with frequent laundering.
Q: Can I order woven labels for clothes in full color?
Woven labels can accommodate design with up to 12 thread colors. We can simplify designs with too many colors down to the loom's maximum. If you need the exact reproduction of a full-color photographic image on a fabric clothing label, then sublimation labels are your best choice.
Q: What backing options do woven labels offer?
Sew on woven labels are the most popular. We offer a sewing service if you need help attaching custom fabric labels to your products the old fashioned way. We also offer a convenient peel & stick or iron on woven label option per your requirements.
What are Woven Labels?
Woven labels are high-quality clothing labels crafted by interweaving polyester threads on spe- cialized looms. This technique enables detailed designs and text, making them a popular choice in the fashion industry for branding and conveying product information. They are especially favored for their durability, as they withstand frequent washing without fading or fraying.
About Our Iron On Woven Labels
Iron on woven labels are a popular choice when sewing isn't a convenient option. The iron on clothing label backing is a thin, heat activated glue applied to the back side of each label. Our iron on labels for clothing are versatile and can be applied using a heat press or simple home iron. While iron on woven labels aren't as durable as sewing, our iron on labels attach perma- nently and should withstand multiple washes. To apply, simply set your heat press to 325F or home iron to medium cotton setting (no steam). Press firmly for 15-20 seconds, then let cool completely. That's it!
Sewing Margin
VS
Seam Allowance
The difference between sewing margin and seam allowance is crucial in designing woven labels. Sewing margin is the space between your label's design elements and its edge, ensuring you don't sew over the design. The minimum recommended sewing margin is 1/8". Seam allowance, however, is the part of the label sewn into the garment's seam. Almost all labels need to consider sewing margin, but only labels going into a seam need to consider seam allowance. Center fold, loop fold, and mitre fold labels, which often go into seams, should reserve 1/4" on the top and bottom of the label for seam allowance.
Woven Label Versions
We offer customizable variations for your order. You can choose from two types of alter- ations: one is to include various size labels (like XS, S, M, L, XL, etc.), and the other is to modify the color of your label. It's important to understand that completely different designs, such as changing from circles to stars, are not considered variations and should be ordered independently. For each alteration, we charge a standard fee of $25.
Woven Hem Tags: Help Your T-Shirts Standout
"Hem tags" are woven labels added as accents on garments like t-shirts, often on sleeves, pockets, or bottom hems. They vary in fold styles, with the Manhattan fold being popular for designs visible only on the label's front. The book cover fold is another style, suitable for labels displayed on both sides, like on reversible beanies. These tags are easily attached to clothing with a single stitch line at the top. Hem labels can turn generic apparel into unique, brand-representative items.
