What Are the Different Types of Woven Labels?

Types of Woven Labels

One of LIJIE's most popular requests for apparel labels is woven labels. These labels are created using jacquard weaving and come in materials such as damask, satin, or taffeta, allowing customers to achieve high-quality designs at affordable prices and with quick turnaround times.

What Are "Density" and "Denier"?

Density refers to how tightly the threads are woven.

Higher density means the pattern is more vivid and detailed.

Lower density can result in a "grainy" or "broken" effect.

Denier refers to the thickness of the yarn.

Lower denier means finer yarns and more delicate detail presentation.

CruzLabel offers standard 50-denier yarn (high definition), and also provides 100-denier yarn for designs that aim for a coarser, more textured look.

Three Main Types of Woven Labels

1. Damask Woven Labels

Material: Matte polyester

Features:

 Highest density with rich details and vibrant colors

 Uses 50-denier high-definition yarn

 Pantone color matching available for accurate color reproduction

 Can incorporate Lurex thread for a metallic shimmer—great for highlighting logos or brand names

 Can be combined with satin or taffeta materials

2. Satin Woven Labels

Material: Shiny polyester

Features:

 Smooth surface, comfortable against the skin

 Ideal for high-end casual wear such as party dresses, men’s suits, or lingerie

 Lower density, suitable for simple designs

 Typically uses solid black or very light pastel background colors

 Weave structure is more visible than damask, suitable for retro or low-contrast color designs

3. Taffeta Woven Labels

Material: Coarse, low-density polyester

Features:

 Slightly transparent look, suitable for vintage or outdoor clothing and footwear

 Because of its stiffness, not ideal for direct skin contact (e.g., inside garment labels)

 Prominent weave structure gives it a nostalgic, old-fashioned feel

 Though somewhat outdated, it remains a favorite among designers seeking a distinctive label appearance

Each type of woven label has its own unique texture and use case. Choosing the right label type for your brand's style and purpose can enhance your product’s professional appearance and help it stand out through thoughtful details.
