Clothing labels are often taken for granted by apparel product users. Because clothing labels are seen only as brand markers and how to care for clothes. Not infrequently, even buyers of apparel products ignore the clothing label.
In fact, behind that, the process of clothing labels has its industry which is no less complicated than the apparel industry. A good clothing label is a way to put a brand on the product and strengthen the brand in the eyes of buyers. When buyers come to the store to choose hanging clothes, they usually see them immediately, where the label contains the size, brand, production code, washing method, and others.
To put our brand on the label, we must study the types of labels that are on the market. What types of labels are meant? Here's an explanation:
- Woven labels
This label is made by using a woven machine. This label is quite common and usually has a characteristic: its hand feels. The durability of these labels is also long-lasting because custom woven labels are not ink, but threads are woven to form characters, letters, and symbols. The weakness of this label is the very large minimum order and limited colors because the colors are obtained from yarn.
- Printing labels
In contrast to label printing, this label is printed with an offset or screen printing machine. As a result, the label can have an unlimited number of colors. The hand feel is more integrated with the label. This label's weakness is its limited durability level, so if it has been washed many times, the printed label may fade. Label printing can be applied to soft materials, so it doesn't bother the wearer too much.
- Screen printing labels
Screen printing labels, screen printing labels are applied to cotton fabrics using screen media techniques. The cotton fabric used is generally 100% cotton, so it is very suitable to be used as a label for children's clothing. This label can be used for clothing logos and information about clothing.
Clothing label sizes based on label placement:
The size of the clothing label on the inside/outside of the neck collar
The inner neck collar is very commonly used for placing clothing tags. The size of clothing tags should be 3cm at maximum. The neck area is sensitive. Therefore, the clothing label size should be manageable to maintain comfort.
Size tag on sleeves
Clothing labels on the sleeves are usually placed on the outside at the hem. The clothing label size in this section should be 3cm at maximum, with the width of the label adjusted.
Size label on the front side
Clothing labels on the front side are usually placed at the bottom end near the side seam. Some are labeled on the tongue of the button. Universal sizes used by various clothing brands are 3x3cm, 4x3cm, and 4.5x2cm.
Size tag on the shirt on the side
Clothing labels on the side are usually located on the inside of the worn shirt. Suitable clothing tag sizes are symmetrical, like 2x4cm. The goal of a symmetrical size is so that it can be folded in half. Remember to oversize the stitches.
The size of the clothing label at the bottom of the Overbeck
The label at the bottom of the over deck is usually also symmetrical in size so that it can be folded in half, the common size is 3cm long, and the width adjusts. It is better if the inside is sewn over a deck, or you can fold it, so it doesn't irritate the skin.
Size tag on the inside of the back
Labels for the inside back can use a length of 4cm, preferably using label materials made of woven, cotton, or taffeta. This type of material is quite safe and does not irritate the skin.
From the shape of the label model:
- Straight cut
On a straight-cut label, the shape is very simple. Usually, a square can be long or square. This shape of the label will feel flush with the fabric after sewing. Due to the limited printing area, this label usually only contains the brand.
- Centerfold
The shape of this label is a folded label divided by 2 exactly in the middle. Usually, these labels have more information on the back, so a second sheet is required.
- End Fold
This label is similar to a straight, but at the ends, both are folded a little and sewn so that it stands out a little more.
- Miter fold
Unlike the end fold, this label is smaller in width so that it can be folded obliquely and gives a prominent impression.
- Manhattan fold
This type of folding is similar to a centerfold, but on one side of the label, there is a longer part of the label so that the label looks thicker and bloated.
- Loop folds
Still similar to the center fold, this label is not folded but bent. So that there are no folds
- Book cover fold
This type of folding is similar to the Manhattan fold, but small folds are on both sides of the label.
- Rolls
This is a label that comes from a slightly flattened roll of cloth. Because it is flat, little information can be contained on this label.
Apart from this type of label, there are also labels printed directly on clothes. Usually printed on the nape. This type of screen printing label does not require label cloth at all. So that users will not feel uncomfortable due to cloth labels that often make them itchy, this type of label is usually printed manually.
