What Are Woven Labels?
Fabric pieces created by weaving threads on a loom, often mistaken for embroidered labels due to their similar appearance. However, woven labels differ by embedding the logo or text directly into the material, such as damask, cotton, satin, or taffeta. Embroidered labels, on the other hand, have logos stitched through the garment. The labels are typically sewn or ironed onto items. Produced on looms, they can use multiple colors simultaneously, offering a durable, flexible solution for branding.
The primary materials used are:
- Damask: Popular for its high thread count, allowing fine details, and soft flexibility, perfect for garments worn close to the skin.
- Cotton: Known for its softness and natural off-white hue, cotton is ideal for a softer label, and can be dyed in various colors.
- Satin: Chosen for its shiny appearance, satin offers medium thread count and may not capture intricate details as well as other fibers.
- Taffeta: Durable and suited for outdoor or water-exposed products, taffeta offers medium thread count with lower detail resolution.
Are Woven Labels Affordable?
These labels offer a professional touch for branding, offering durability and flexibility at a competitive price. While they may seem pricier than printed labels, their longevity and premium appearance make them a great value. Prices can vary based on size, quantity, and fabric type. For instance, 1000 one-color woven labels cost about $400, compared to $290 for 1000 printed labels on satin. Woven labels can endure multiple washes, making them a long-lasting choice for clothing brands.
Types
- Damask: Most common, offering high detail and a soft, muted shine.
- Cotton: Soft and natural but with medium thread count, offering less fine detail.
- Satin: Shiny and less detailed, best for external brand visibility.
- Taffeta: Sturdy and perfect for products exposed to elements like sun and water, though it offers less detailed images.
