Do you want to build a proper business around your enthusiasm and ability to make really nice outfits? 

You  may want to consider woven labels for clothing for providing information about your brand and other product information about each outfit you make.

Just like how the label of a Versace or another fashion brand gives you assurance on buying your desired product, a label will help communicate the same feeling to your audience.

But first, what do we mean by woven labels?

Just like the name implies, woven labels are 100% woven. They are 100% polyester threads, the look and feel of the label are primarily determined by the thickness of thread and the type of weave.

Woven labels are woven together with the aid of a loom to present your design and other label information. Woven labels are made with a damask weave, satin weave, or a taffeta weave.

From a trusted source, The damask weaving technique is characterised by dense, fine-threaded textiles. The relief pattern with matt and glossy surfaces is created by the alternating dominance of weft and warp. 

A satin weave is a type of fabric weave that produces a characteristically glossy, smooth or lustrous material, typically with a glossy top surface and a dull back.

Taffeta weave on the other hand is one in which the weft and warp threads intertwine alternately to produce a checkerboard effect. They do not have a glossy effect at all unlike their damask and satin counterparts.  

Damask or satin weave are mostly used as labels in garments but it’s been observed that satin weaves causes body discomfort when used in garment so it is better you use for bedsheets and the likes whereas taffeta weave labels are used in camping gears, bags etc because of their characteristic durability.

Now let’s get into some other information worth knowing about woven labels to help you make the best judgment if, indeed, it is the right choice for you.

• Price: Woven labels are expensive. Why? The production is not as easy as it seems, it is made on a loom and secondly, it requires great attention to details so you must ensure the price point of your product is on the luxurious or high side to  avoid a mismatch in the cost of producing the outfit and cost of producing the label.
• Because they are carefully stitched together, woven labels are more durable than other types of labels. Your logo won’t fade away due to incessant washing by the user of the outfit.
• Woven labels make your outfit look luxurious. If you intend to produce a premium quality product, woven labels are perfect to add a touch of class and thoughtfulness to your product. It makes the customer believe you are a premium choice.

The other downside to using woven labels aside its expensiveness is that there are limited details you can weave onto the label, it is very unlikely that you can weave product information or laundry instructions on the tag.
