Clothing Label Types
There are two major types of clothing labels: Printed and woven.
Printed clothing labels are made of various types ribbons that are printed,
hot cut, and folded.
Pros:
-Depending on the clothing label supplier, a shorter lead time.
-With the advances in clothing label technology, we are able to print
photographs, extremely small writing, shading and shadow, and color
gradients. In other words, we have the capability of printing Picasso on your
label!
-Highly elaborate details of you art work can be captured.
-Soft to the touch.
Cons:
-May fade over time with repeated hot washing and dryer use.
-Background colors need to be either pastel or white colors.
Woven labels are woven with a weave based on your specification for the
artwork. A loom weaves your artwork or graphic as part of the fabric. The
labels are then cut and/or folded.
Pros:
-Long lasting through repeated use, including washings and dryer use.
Cons:
-Usually, a longer lead time to completion. If a clothing designer is in a time
crunch, that is, short on time, then oftentimes this is not the recommend
choice for clothing labels.
- Artwork/graphics limitations: All artwork, logos, and lettering have to be a
clear, smooth edged presentation. There can be no color gradients,
shadows, or extremely small elaborate wording. Remember, the loom is
weaving a very small piece of cloth, and the artwork woven has to conform
to weaving looms patterns. So if you have an elaborate logo, it is best to
stick to printed clothing labels.
