Garment Label Types
A number of types of woven fabric labels are available as a means of brand identity & reinforcement, brand promotion, and information on garments and other textile products. It is important for best effect to choose the most appropriate clothing label for your application.
The three most common types of woven labels are:
1. Damask
Damask is the most common material for labels. It’s also the most expensive. That’s because it’s used when you want to enhance your brand and give a high end look. It’s also great for showing off small details you put in your label
| Damask | Results |
|---|---|
| Material | Polyester |
| Final Look | Matte Finish, Fine and Detailed |
| Best For | High End Labels, Detailed Labels, Durable Labels |
2. Satin
Although not as durable as Damask (it still is durable), satin provides a shiny look and is great for labels that are printed text or design and not woven details
| Satin | Results |
|---|---|
| Material | Polyester or Acetate |
| Final Look | Glossy, Elegant, Delicate And Silky |
| Best For | Luxury Look, Sensitive Skin (Infants Or Children Labels), Comfort Brands |
3. Taffeta
It might be the most basic woven label of the three, but it’s the most popular. It’s the cheapest one that produces a very durable label. The difference between Taffeta and Damask is that Tafetta does not provide rich or the extremely fine detailed appearance at the level that Damask does. They also aren’t as silky as satin, but Taffeta can still give a detailed appearance and is extremely functional.
| Taffeta | Results |
|---|---|
| Material | Polyester |
| Final Look | Matte Finish (Not To The Level Of Damask) |
| Best For | Cost-Effective Labels, Outerwear, Jackets, Hats, Bags, Durable |
