As the "identity symbol" of clothing brands, woven sew-in labels are far more than just a simple piece of fabric strip.
What Are Woven Sew-in Labels?
Woven sew-in labels are identification products made by interweaving warp and weft yarns on special looms and then sewn onto garments. Compared with traditional printed labels, woven sew-in labels feature excellent texture, strong durability, and a high-end appearance. They usually contain information such as brand logos, ingredient descriptions, and care symbols, serving as an indispensable component of clothing brands.
Material Types of Woven Sew-in Labels
The choice of material for woven sew-in labels directly affects their appearance, hand feel, and durability. Here are several mainstream materials:
1. Satin Material: Characterized by bright luster and smooth touch, it is commonly used in mid-to-high-end clothing brands. Satin material can effectively enhance the quality and luxury of a brand.
2. Nylon/Polyester: This type of synthetic fiber material boasts strong durability, good wrinkle resistance, bright colors, and non-fading properties. It is suitable for daily clothing that requires frequent washing.
3. Cotton Material: Cotton labels have good air permeability and a natural hand feel, making them ideal for clothing categories with high requirements for skin contact comfort, such as children's clothing and underwear.
4. Blended Material: Different materials can be blended according to specific needs. For example, cotton-polyester blended labels retain the comfort of cotton while enhancing the durability of the labels.
High-end label materials usually comply with the OEKO-TEX Standard, ensuring they are free of harmful substances and suitable for direct skin contact.
Main Types of Woven Sew-in Labels
1. Classification by Folding Method
① Center-Folded Labels: Folded along the center line to form a two-layer structure, which can display more information. They are often used for clothing that requires multilingual instructions.
② Four-Side Folded Labels: With finely processed edges, they have a more exquisite appearance and are commonly seen in high-end brand clothing.
③ Straight-Cut Labels: Featuring straight-cut edges, they are simple and modern, suitable for casual wear.
2. Classification by Function
① Main Labels (Brand Labels): Usually located at the neckline, they prominently display the brand logo and serve as the core of brand identification.
② Care Labels (Ingredient Labels): Contain important information such as fabric composition and care instructions, meeting regulatory requirements while guiding consumers to properly maintain clothing.
③ Size Labels: Clearly mark clothing sizes to facilitate consumers in choosing the right fit.
Production Processes of Woven Sew-in Labels
