Print labels vs woven labels
Different labels create different impressions, so choosing the right label is crucial for your product. Otherwise, you may jeopardize the style of the entire collection. But what’s the difference between printed labels and woven labels?
Print labels
Printed labels are often used for clothing and apparel, but it can also be used for accessories, footwear, furniture, and other brands and information that require custom printed labels.
The turnaround time of printed labels is faster than that of woven labels — not that the turnaround time of woven labels is slower or more expensive, it’s just a comparison. However, if you are producing a large order at the last minute, printing the label may take less time than other methods.

Woven labels are considered a limited design because they are woven on a loom. Printed labels can use large palettes of colors to create complex, detailed designs.
1. Specification – The colors are softer and you have fewer colors to choose from. Simple vector logos look better than complex designs when applied to woven labels.
You cannot add a gradient to a woven label. The pattern matches 98% of the original design
2. Resistance – Woven labels tend to last longer over a period of time.
3. Production time– It takes a long production time to weave labels.
4. Price – Higher cost and higher minimum order quantity compared to printed labels
5. Material – By weaving the label, you can choose satin, taffeta or satin, depending on the number of yarns. A higher tread count means a sharper image.
The difference between printing and woven
The price. Because it is easy to produce, printed labels are often the cheaper of the two products. Woven labels are made on a loom and require more attention, so cost more and the material tends to be more durable. Woven labels are more expensive, but it depends on the use and price of your clothes.
Quality of professionalism. You’ll notice that a lot of high-end fashion brands tend to use woven labels rather than printed labels. This is because they give the impression of being more extravagant and make your clothes seem more expensive. But the right labels can make lightweight clothes look just as professional.
How do I choose the right labels for my products?
Type of product
You want your label to reflect the same quality as your product. For example, if you want a “down-to-earth look,” then printed on a cotton label (or if you prefer a braided style, you can use a braided, simulated cotton pattern/texture background) is the best choice.
However, if you produce close-fitting clothing or children’s wear, you may want a small label that can actually “fit” on a small piece of fabric, such as women’s underwear, that will be soft and won’t disturb the user.
