Many startups and independent stores face budget constraints in their early stages. That’s why finding affordable and personalized woven labels is crucial.
LIJIE has summarized 12 cost-saving tipsto help you get high-quality woven labels at a lower price!
1. Choose Smaller Label Sizes
The smaller the label, the less material is used—and the cheaper it becomes. But note:
a. Labels smaller than 1 cm often require manual folding, which adds cost;
b. It's best to keep label size over 1 cm with reasonable length and width.
2. Use Fewer Colors
More colors mean higher costs. Suggestions:
a. Stick to black-on-whiteor white-on-blackdesigns;
b. Avoid multi-color or metallic thread if you're on a tight budget;
c. Labels with only size or care symbols are the cheapest.
3. Order Larger Quantities to Lower Unit Price
Bulk orders greatly reduce cost per label. For example:
2,000 labels ≈ $70
10,000 labels ≈ $300
Always request quotes for multiple quantities to find the best pricing tier.
4. Prioritize Satin Woven Labels
Compared to damask or crochet labels, satin woven labelsare:
a. Cheaper
b. More colorful
c. Faster to produce
d. High in cost-performance
5. Become a Repeat Customer for Discounts
Partner with a reliable label supplier:
a. Returning customersoften get better rates;
b. Repeat orders may include discounts or free services.
6. Lower Yarn Density
Common densities: 50D, 75D, 100D.
Higher D = thicker yarn, lower cost
For less demanding applications, choose lower densities to save money.
7. Minimize Metallic Thread Usage
Gold or silver threads look premium—but they’re costly. Instead:
a. Choose standard polyester yarn
b. Or go with metallic-colored polyesterfor a shiny look at lower cost
8. Choose Heat Cutting Over Laser Cutting
While laser cutting creates softer edges, heat cutting is more budget-friendly.
Best for clients who don’t require ultra-soft edges or luxury finishes.
9. Go with Straight Cut or Roll Labels
The cheapest labels are:
a. Straight-cut or on rolls
b. No folding required
c. Manhattan fold or center fold adds extra processing cost
Roll labels are even cheaper if you're able to cut them yourself.

c. Printed glueor texture effects
Keep it simple for cost control.
