Information About Efficient Clothing Labels

By Donald Johnson


Labeling is used for almost every product in the market. To some companies, it acts as a marketing tool to show the quality of the item so as, to gain more profits by increasing sales. To label textiles and garments, Clothing Labels are the best option. They can be used by the garment industry and designers who work at home. Sticking on the labels is fairly easy and can be done at home.

Their main functions are to indicate sizes either large, medium or small, show the fabric of clothes whether silk, cotton, or wool and also to provide instructions on how to wash the garment, either through dry-cleaning or hand-washing. Some tags also show the name of the designer and their signature or the manufacturer. In school or company uniforms, the tag has the name of the school or company.

Labels are positioned at different spots on clothes depending on their function. A label showing the size is placed at the back of clothes, but on the inside. Wash care instructions label are on the inside part of clothes on the side, while the designer or manufacturer details and name of brands are on the outside part of garments to act as a marketing strategy.

The functions of the tags help categorize them into different types, size, content, care and brand tags. The size tags show whether the cloth is small, medium or big, a content label will show the material used to make the cloth, the manufacturer or designer is mentioned in the brand label and lastly the care labels to show the preferred manner of treating the material during washing.

They are further classified according to the display used for the information that is in two types printed and woven tags. In printed tags, the information is printed using a permanent ink and often made from cotton or synthetic material example polyester, nylon or satin. However, the printed types do not last as long as the woven types as the ink easily fades on washing.

In woven tags, the information is woven onto the tag which is made of either silk or damask. However, these materials are very expensive as compared to the other materials like cotton and other synthetics, leading to costly costs of production. Due to the high durability and long life of these tags, they can only be used in high-quality garments.

The last category of a label is according to the attachment of the label onto the clothes. There are three main ways of attaching on the tags. The stick on method is the fastest and cannot be removed when washing. Sew-on types use heat activated adhesive to stick onto the cloth while the last category sew-on types are easily sewed onto the cloth.

It is easy to get any label type as they are easily available in the market from most online stores. You can also get them at huge discounts to label the uniform of your children or company. You can also label the clothes you make at home for sale. If you do not want the common types of labels available, you can decide to order a custom label instead.
