Types of Folds in Clothing Labels

Pleated clothing labels are an increasingly common decorative design element found on garments that enhance overall aesthetics. Made possible through pleating techniques, pleated labels create an elegant or unique visual effect and often complementing clothing style as they add fashionable details and brand recognition. Pleating techniques not only give these tags more texture; but their pleating also strengthens brand recognition!

To create diagonal fold labels, fold both ends at a 45 degree angle before attaching them to garment. Ideal for woven labels.

2. Center Fold Labels

Center fold labels can also be known as loop fold or center fold labels and used with both printed and woven labels.

These end fold labels feature both ends folded (usually about 1/4 in), creating a smooth finish. Commonly used on natural materials to protect delicate edges from fraying while being suitable for printed woven labels.

6.Center Fold Labels

These type of labels can often be found inside garments such as T-shirts on their necklines as brand or logo tags or care/content tags, offering brand identification or content labelling services.

7. Custom Hem Labels

Hem labels have become increasingly popular and can be sewn onto the outer hem seam of T-shirts to form custom labels, often wrapping around it like an accordion. Perfect for both printed and woven labels.

8. Care Labels

Center fold care labels sewn directly to garments are often included to provide information regarding care instructions such as washing, drying, ironing and dry-cleaning recommendations. They often display symbols or written directions detailing these processes for optimal care of apparel items.
