Woven Label
Woven labels are the most popular and widely chosen labels. They are made using rapier weaving looms. These looms weave polyester yarns called warp and weft to re-create the logo into the label. The label comes out of the machine in roll form which is later cut by thermic cutters or laser. The edges of the label automatically get sealed during this cutting process. The laser cut prevents the label from fraying. Woven labels are very durable, launders better in the long run (than printed label), and is also soft on the skin. Additionally, even an intricate artwork will convert into a beautiful woven label.
Every client has a unique project of their own and that calls for a tailor made label. We specialize is custom woven labels. All we require is your artwork in JPG/PDF format, type of fold and the dimensions. With that we can make a sample of your label in 2-4 days for your approval. You can choose to have the label made in Polyester damask, Taffeta or Satin. We also offer needle loom high definition weave.
Polyester Damask Woven Label
The most common type of woven labels is Polyester damask. Damask is a very tight weave made of several strands of yarn resulting in a thick durable label. The yarn comes in an array of colors, making color matching with your artwork an easy job. We use either 50 denier or 100 denier yarn depending on the complexity of the artwork. The word “denier” refers to the size of the thread. Lower the denier, higher the precision and softer the quality.
100 Denier Damask is a perfect combination of affordability and softness and is widely used for most labels. 50 denier yarn on the other hand is ideal for intricate artwork. It offers extreme softness and superior clarity to details.
Tafetta Woven Label
Woven Taffeta labels are made with a polyester base with the artwork woven into it. They are chosen to keep the cost down where high quality is not required. They tend to be scratchy when in contact with the skin and so it is not suggested for use as a neck tag or for baby clothing. It is more suitable for outerwear or accessories. On the positive side they are cost effective and highly durable too
Satin Woven Label
Satin Woven labels use a polyester based lustrous thread which is soft and smooth.
They give a nice look as it has a subtle sheen. Good quality results can be produced using a single needle or broadloom set-up.
Satin labels are cut with an ultrasonic cutter for smooth edges. These labels are mainly used in high end clothing.
