The main advantage of woven labels with woven text and design, over printed labels, is they do not fade in the wash. They also look richer, adding value to your product.

Several types of woven fabric labels are available as a means of promotion, information, and identification on garments and other textile products. It is important for best effect to choose the most appropriate clothing label for your application. Never underestimate their importance as they carry your brand image, and must clearly show changing fashion trends. Remember your label is akin to your signature.

The three most common woven labels types are:

1. Damask

This is the most common type of garment label. Suitable for high-end uses, and a real enhancement to your brand image. The recommended option where finer images or texts are needed. They give greater clarity, in detailed designs and texts. These labels are woven slower, with finer yarns, and higher weave density, than other labels, thereby giving a uniform weave , with added durability.

2. Satin

Satin clothing labels are usually less expensive than damask. They cannot present the detail of design of damask or taffeta labels, but offer a smooth, shiny, lustrous, soft appearance, and feel. Along with softer colours. This unique, soft, smooth, satin appearance is richer and more upmarket, and is used in more prestige applications. Or can be used on infant garments to reinforce perceptions of softness.

3. Taffeta

A basic, but popular woven label, because of their lower cost. These labels are woven with a plain weave ground or base. This is a tight weave structure and produces a very stable, durable label. On this ground weave the design is produced by a brocade weave effect.

They are like damask labels but don’t have their rich appearance, nor the ability to carry such fine detail. Neither do they have the soft, smooth lustrous appearance of satin labels, but they can carry reasonably detailed designs, and text, and are very functional. They are the option for those requiring  bolder images and text. These labels are often used for care instruction labels, because of their low-cost.
