Why are there different label fold?
Woven labels are almost always folded because folding is the easiest way to hide the back of the woven. The woven label has two sides: the finished front, which is the side that should be seen, and the rough back, where any tangled threads of structural silk can be seen. Usually, you don’t want the consumer to see the back of the woven label, so you can fold it up, or you can put some backing material on the back
Different label pleats also suit different fabric types. For example, if you’re labeling a soft silk shirt, you need a light, stretchy label that moves with the fabric and doesn’t break the lines of the garment. Bevel pleats are a good choice for this delicate, fluid fabric, but it’s a bad choice for hard-to-stitch places such as car interiors. In automotive interiors, the standard circular fold is sewn at the seam, while more durable fabrics, such as denim, usually rely on both end fold labels and border labels.
But why would you choose a centerfold label over a straight-cut or end-fold label?
The main reason someone would choose a centerfold label is the ability of hiding those not so smooth ends that people always complain about: the itching, the bothering, also the ease of attaching it: just slide it thru a fold or a hem, just a quick stitches and you are done.
And why should you choose more than one center fold tag?
There is something about them, people really love these tiny little tags and their rather odd placements: in the side hems (inside and outside), at the bottom hems of t-shirts, on pockets and necks, the more the merrier!

What label fold is best?
For most fashion and apparel items, the tag folding decision usually boils down to two factors: What do you want on your brand, and where do you want it? For example, a tall sign and a wide sign fit different types of labels, and some labels can be sewn into the seams, but they don’t look good if they’re just sewn into flat fabric.
