Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a woven label and how is it different from a printed label?
A: A woven label is produced on a jacquard loom by interlacing colored threads to form the design — the design is structurally part of the fabric, not applied to its surface. A printed label applies ink or dye to a fabric or paper substrate. Woven labels are more durable than printed labels: the design does not fade, crack, or peel with washing because it is woven into the fabric structure. Woven labels are the standard for garment main labels, neck labels, and brand badges. Printed labels are preferred when photographic gradients, very fine detail, or low unit cost are the primary requirements.

Q: Which weave type should I choose — taffeta, satin, or damask?
A: Taffeta weave is a plain over-under construction — cost-effective, firm, and suitable for most standard garment labels. Satin weave uses floating threads to create a smooth, high-sheen surface with a softer hand-feel — preferred for neck labels and premium positioning. Damask weave is a high-density jacquard construction that reproduces the finest detail, sharpest text, and most complex graphics — recommended for logos with fine lines, small text, or complex crest designs. For most garment main labels, satin or damask is recommended; taffeta is the cost-effective choice for high-volume production.

Q: What is the difference between the four fold methods?
A: End fold (Manhattan fold): both short ends folded under and sewn into a seam — standard for main and neck labels. Center fold: label folded in half lengthwise, fold sewn into seam, both halves hang free — used for double-sided content. Miter fold: diagonal corner fold for a tailored, premium appearance. Straight cut: no fold, label sewn flat onto garment surface — used for patch labels and badge labels.

Q: What is the difference between the four edge finishes?
A: Ultrasonic cut: high-frequency vibration simultaneously cuts and seals the fabric edge — produces the softest, flattest sealed edge; recommended for skin-contact labels. Heat cut: heated blade cuts and seals the edge — clean and cost-effective. Laser cut: laser beam cuts with high precision — best for intricate custom shapes. Merrow border: looped thread edge applied by overlock machine — defines badge silhouette cleanly; standard for badge and crest labels.

Q: What backing option should I choose?
A: Non-woven (sew-in) is the standard backing for garment labels that will be machine-sewn into production. Iron-on backing uses heat-activated adhesive for direct application without sewing — suitable for home application or garments where sewing is not practical. Adhesive back (peel-and-stick) is used for non-garment or temporary applications. Hook-and-loop fastener is used for removable or display labels.

Q: How many colors can a woven label have?
A: Up to 12 thread colors per label, all included at no extra charge. Color blending between adjacent threads allows the visual appearance of additional colors within the 12-color limit.

Q: What is the minimum text size for a woven label?
A: The minimum recommended lettering height is 2mm (10pt equivalent). For labels with small text, damask weave provides the highest thread density and sharpest text reproduction.

Q: What file formats do you accept?
A: CDR, EPS, PDF, AI, and SVG are preferred (vector formats). We also accept PSD, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, and PNG. Vector formats ensure the most accurate thread color mapping.

Q: What payment methods are accepted?
A: TT (bank transfer), Western Union, and PayPal. 30% deposit required; balance before shipment.
