The role of woven labels in the textile industry

Woven labels enhance the branding and quality of your products.

Woven and printed labels are two popular types of labels used in the fashion, home textile, and footwear industries. Woven labels are created by interlacing threads on a loom, primarily using polyester materials, whereas printed labels are made using ink and printing presses.

Woven labels are known for their superior durability due to the quality of materials and the interwoven structure compared to printed labels. Consequently, producing woven labels typically incurs higher costs than printed labels. With their soft texture, excellent visibility, and high durability, woven labels are ideal for showcasing logos, designs, and conveying brand messages in the fashion industry.

With comprehensive capabilities in design, materials, and production processes, we contribute to the perfect finishing touches for a variety of garments and numerous other products.

Material selection for woven labels:

Choosing materials for woven labels offers a great variety, from recycled polyester to mixed materials with organic cotton, Tencel, bamboo, silk, linen, and SeaCell. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different purposes.

Taffeta Woven Labels

Taffeta is a fabric with a rougher and stiffer structure compared to cotton and satin. It is often more economical, making it a cost-effective choice.

Advantages:
- Lower cost
- Clear display of small text
- Quick drying, suitable for water-exposed products
- More color options than satin

Disadvantages:
- The thicker fabric may be uncomfortable for sensitive skin
- Less durable than satin

Satin Woven Labels

Satin is a shiny, smooth fabric that feels soft against the skin. It can be glossy on one or both sides, making it an excellent choice for luxury and classic-style products.

Advantages:
- Soft texture
- Luxurious, shiny appearance
- Durable

Disadvantages:
- Higher cost than taffeta
- Limited color options

Cotton Woven Labels

Cotton is a natural fiber that is soft with a natural off-white color. Its high thread density allows for better display of small text details compared to satin and taffeta.

dvantages:
- Surface not as smooth as satin

By offering a variety of materials and weaving techniques, we ensure that our woven labels meet the diverse needs of brands and enhance the overall presentation and durability of their products.

Types of Woven Label Finishes:

Folded Finishes: After creating the woven label by interweaving warp and weft threads, it needs to be cut and folded to form a complete label before being sewn directly onto clothing.

End Fold: This is the most common fold type. The label is usually rectangular and the ends are folded back, providing a seam allowance for sewing onto the garment.
Center Fold: The label is folded in the middle, allowing for information to be displayed on both sides.
Mitre Fold: The ends of the label are folded at a 45-degree angle and sewn directly onto the product.

Cutting Finishes:
- Heat Cutting
- Ultrasonic Cutting
- Laser Cutting
- Straight Cut
Other Finishes:
- Heat Sealing Labels
- Adhesive Applications
