Information About Efficient Clothing Labels

By Donald Johnson


Each product in the market today has a label which displays some information about the product. Manufacturers of the product view labeling as a marketing strategy as it shows the details of the product which convince more customers to buy it, increasing profits. Textiles and garments are only labelled using Clothing Labels in a simple process that can be done at home.

A few functions of such a label used in clothes include indicating the size that is small, medium or large, the fabric used to make the cloth like silk, cotton or wool. The label also has some instructions to guide you on washing the garment. A few designers or manufacturers also prefer to place their signature and name on these labels of the garment.

Labels are positioned at different spots on clothes depending on their function. A label showing the size is placed at the back of clothes, but on the inside. Wash care instructions label are on the inside part of clothes on the side, while the designer or manufacturer details and name of brands are on the outside part of garments to act as a marketing strategy.

The tags are of different types depending on their function as described above. They are categorized as size tags, content tags, care tags and brand tags. The size labels show the size of the garment; content labels show the type of material of the cloth while the care tags show the owner the proper way to deal with washing the material. The brand tags show the manufacturer or designer.

Another means of categorizing the tags is through using the means used to display the information. It is of two types printed and woven. In printed tags, the information is printed onto the tag using a permanent ink. The material is often made of cotton or a synthetic material like polyester, nylon or satin to allow the ink printing.

In woven tags, the information is woven onto the tag which is made of either silk or damask. However, these materials are very expensive as compared to the other materials like cotton and other synthetics, leading to costly costs of production. Due to the high durability and long life of these tags, they can only be used in high-quality garments.

The tags are also categorized into three more types, the iron on, sew on and stick on types. This category thus classifies the tags according to the ways used to attach the tag to the material. Stick on types which, is the fastest method of placing the label are stuck onto the cloth. Iron on are ironed for the heat activated adhesive to fix the label onto the garment. The common type is sew-on.

For any company, school or home designer looking for a label, there are many options to choose from. They are available in most online stores and often will come at a discount. Those who want uniquely designed tags can apply for the custom tags. The label will also help home designers sell and market their designers.
