Folding way for custom clothing tags

Straight cut 

Straight cut labels have no wrinkles and can be sewn anywhere in the garment.A straight cut label is typically sewn on all sides, however it can also be sewn on only the left and right sides, or on the top of the label, as all the edges have been heat sealed to prevent wear. 

Ironing and bonding (stripping) backing can only be done on straight cut labels.This is the most common way to knit labels.
