What is a woven label? And how to make them?

A woven label refers to a fabric label made using a loom, usually sewn onto clothing, shoes, hats, and other products. Common types include satin and ribbons. Woven labels typically display text, letters, and logos, and are available in bordered and borderless versions.

What is a Woven Patch?

A woven patch is a label made using warp and weft threads on a loom, where logos, patterns, letters, and colors are displayed through the weft threads. Woven patches are highly precise, sometimes requiring accuracy up to 0.05mm, which is crucial for well-known brands.

Cutting Techniques for Woven Labels

Woven label cutting techniques include heat cutting, laser cutting, ultrasonic cutting, folding, and more.

Backing Options for Woven Labels

The back of a woven label can feature different processes, such as cotton backing, adhesive backing, edge locking, and double-sided tape.

Woven Label Materials

Common materials for woven labels include woven tapes, cotton waistbands, and polyester tapes, each offering different costs and characteristics.

Satin Woven Labels

Satin woven labels have threads on the back and cut edges. They are finely crafted, relatively inexpensive, and suitable for mass production.

Twill Woven Labels

Twill woven labels have smooth edges and a texture similar to silk, making them more expensive and typically used in high-end brand clothing.

Reversible Woven Labels

Reversible woven labels have opposite colors on the front and back, with a refined texture and craftsmanship, though they are less commonly chosen.

Woven Label Types by Application

Woven labels can be classified into main labels, folded labels, wash care labels, size labels, decorative labels, and more.

Woven Label Production Steps

1. Create a design draft using design software.

2. Input the design into a computer program.

3. Prepare the yarn and start weaving.

4. Perform cutting and packaging.

5. Fold and trim according to customer requirements.

6. Conduct post-processing and quality inspection.

Woven Label Density

The quality of a woven label is determined by its weft density. Higher weft density results in finer labels. The D-value is commonly used to indicate yarn thickness, with 100D being thicker and 30D finer.

Identifying Woven Patch Quality

The quality of a woven patch is determined by its color and weave. Colors are typically chosen from the Pantone system, and a high-quality woven patch will have accurate colors and a smooth texture.

How to Produce High-Quality Woven Patches

Producing high-quality woven patches requires a high level of craftsmanship, suitable for premium clothing. Techniques include plain weaving and satin treatment, with ironing or dyeing often used to enhance the background.
