What is woven label?
A woven label is a brand label made by weaving the design in thread on a narrow loom, rather than printing it, then cut, folded and sewn into the back neck of the garment. It is durable, reads as premium, and is the single cheapest thing that makes a garment feel like a brand rather than a printed blank.
Why it matters
It costs about $0.45 per piece plus a $40 one-off setup and it is the first thing a customer sees inside the neck. Every lasting brand we work with has one.
On our floor
Woven to your artwork, sewn into the back-neck seam during assembly so it sits flat, with a printed care label at the side seam. Label artwork is needed before cutting.
Common questions
- Woven or printed label?
- Woven for the brand label — durable and premium. Printed for the care label, where text is small and cost matters.
- What is a damask label?
- A finer weave that reproduces small text and detail cleanly — the premium woven label type.
- How is it attached?
- End-fold or centre-fold, sewn into the neck seam. Loop-fold for hanging labels.
- What is the minimum?
- Labels are made in batches of a few hundred; the excess is held for your reorders.
