The main difference between printed labels and embroidered labels lies in the method used to create the design or text on the label.

Printed Labels: Printed labels are created by applying ink or dye directly onto the label material using various printing techniques. The design or text is typically printed onto the label's surface, resulting in a flat and smooth appearance. Common printing methods for labels include screen printing, digital printing, and heat transfer printing.

Advantages of Printed Labels

  • Flexibility: Printed labels offer more flexibility in terms of design placement, color variations, and the ability to incorporate gradients and photographic elements.
  • Cost-Effective: Printing labels is often more cost-effective, especially for larger quantities or complex designs with multiple colors

Embroidered Labels: Embroidered labels are created by stitching the design or text onto the label material using threads. The design is created by a specialized machine that uses different-colored threads to form the desired pattern. Embroidered labels have a textured and raised appearance due to the stitched threads.

Advantages of Embroidered Labels

Durability: Embroidered labels are known for their durability and longevity. The stitched threads make them resistant to wear, washing, and fading.

Three-Dimensional Effect: Embroidered labels have a three-dimensional effect due to the raised and textured stitching. This can add a tactile and premium feel to the label.

Traditional and Classic Look: Embroidered labels are often associated with a traditional and classic aesthetic, which can be desirable for certain brands or products.

The choice between printed labels and embroidered labels depends on various factors such as the desired design, the level of detail, the intended look and feel, and the budget. Printed labels are suitable for designs with intricate details, vibrant colors, and gradients, while embroidered labels are preferred for a more textured and durable finish. It's important to consider your brand's image, the garment's material, and the specific requirements of your label design when making a decision.

To attach a clothing label, choose from various methods based on label type and personal preference. Here are common options.

  2. Heat Transfer: Iron it on! With heat transfer labels, position them on the garment, printed side down, and apply heat and pressure using an iron or heat press. Follow the provided instructions for a permanent bond.
  3. Adhesive: Stick it on! Peel off the backing of adhesive labels and press them firmly onto the fabric. Note that adhesive labels may not be as long-lasting as other methods.
  4. Pinning: Play it temporary! For temporary or promotional purposes, attach labels using safety pins or decorative pins. Great for easy removal or changes.
  5. Hang Tags: Swing it! opt for hang tags with strings or cords instead of direct attachment. Hang tags can provide branding or additional garment information. Use strings, safety pins, or plastic fasteners to secure them.

To be safe, test the attachment method on a sample or scrap fabric before committing to the actual garments. This ensures the method works well and won't damage the fabric. Take care of those labels with style and precaution!

Enquire how the prices will vary for different quantities.
