What You Need To Know About Clothing Labels

By Stephanie Fisher


Today many clothes of different sizes and types are in the market. This makes it hard for someone who likes a specific garment to follow up on where they can get the same garment. Many clothes production companies will add Clothing Labels onto their clothes to make them easy to trace.

A common type of label used are woven ones. They tend to last as long as the garment. This will allow marketing of the company as the new customers wear clothes with the labels thus attracting other people into purchasing clothes from the company. Using an effective label that lasts longer is thus an innovative way of promoting clothes made by a company.

The durability of a tag is determined by the quality of the material used in creating the tag. A company that intends to use tags on their garments should ensure that they choose that of high quality which is less likely to tear or fade with time. Most low quality tag fabrics will result in peeling off of the front fabric that contains the content necessary for marketing.

While choosing a label for your garment, you have to ensure that it suits the garment that you intend to attach the label on. An aspect that you need to consider is the color. The garment and labels should have similar colors. The type of material used for the label can also be similar to the material used to make the garment for uniformity.

The tags are in two main types, the woven ones, and the printed ones. In the case of printed tags, the font is printed onto the material using an ink intended to last longer. The ink used is thus permanent. However, it can still be washed out. Common materials used in making this type of tags include acetate, satin, polyester and cotton twill.

For those who want the tags at a cheaper cost, then the printed type of tags is the best option for them. They are also manufactured easily thus making them the best type of tags for purchase by a company which requires them in bulk. Their main disadvantage is that they do not last as long as the woven tags as the fonts printed on them tend to fade as the garment is washed.

If a company intend to use the woven type of labeling, they are supposed to choose between damask, satin and taffeta materials. This type of material is most preferred in making the tags as they last longer than the printed ones. Their main problem is the complaints by customers that the material feels scratchy and itchy thus making the wearers feel uncomfortable.

Tags are easily accessible as they are often sold in many online stores. Companies that specialize in the mass production of garments would find it more convenient to have their tags manufactured in bulk and customized to their tastes. This allows the company to brand their garments by creating a unique tag that uniquely identifies their products.
