Clothing tags offer valuable product information and are one of the first things that your clients see on your product. That is why it is important that they correspond to its style. Before you make the most suitable decision regarding your choice of label, there are many specific elements you need to consider.
Dilcom Bulgaria Ltd. is a manufacturer of different types of clothing labels with 20 years of experience. We wrote this blog article to hopefully ease your search and help you make the right decision for your clothing labels.
The first step is determining what type of label for clothes is the most suitable, depending on its application.
Branding labels
This type of labels usually contains a logo and manufacturer name and helps clients recognize their favourite clothing brands. We know you put a lot of hard work and effort into creating your product, and your labels should reflect that. If you invest in suitable, high-quality branding labels, your clients will trust the quality of your product and brand. The design and material of the custom clothing labels is determined depending on your preference and how luxurious your product is.
Care labels/ Compliance label
Depending on the country you’re selling your clothes in, care labels have different requirements for various product and manufacturer details. Usually, they contain ironing and washing symbols, country of origin and fiber contents.
They are most often on the inner side of the clothes and have contact with the skin. This is why we advise that care labels be made of a soft, delicate fabric. They should also have a simple design that clearly illustrates the necessary instructions.
Custom labels
Some manufacturers decide to combine the branding information, clothing size and care instructions on one label. The Dilcom team can help you create your custom label design according to your needs.
Sizing labels
These clothing labels serve to designate the size of the product. Sizing tags are applied on the inner side of the clothes and often have contact with the skin. Therefore, these labels should be made from a soft and delicate material that is durable and resistant to washing with detergents.
After identifying the most suitable type of clothing tags, the next step is choosing the material they will made of. These are the factors that should inform your decision:
Will the clothing label have direct contact with the skin?
If yes, you should pick a material that is delicate, smooth and soft, so that it does not cause irritation. For this purpose, most commonly, the best choice is satin labels for clothes.
Does your application allow the use of sewn-in labels?
In the cases in which it isn’t, the ideal solutions are adhesive textile labels or cardboard labels for clothes.
Depending on your specifications, cardboard labels can have product and sizing information, a barcode and manufacturer details. Cardboard labels for clothes can also have an attractive design that serves as additional branding for your product and manufacturer.
Eye-catching cardboard labels may attract the attention of a passing shopper. That is especially helpful when your brand’s clothes are displayed on a clothing rail among similar items.
Does your clothing label require a barcode?
If printing a barcode, we recommend using taffeta labels, as the imprint on taffeta is of high-quality and readability.
Does your application require printing on both sides of the clothing label?
If yes, the transparency of the material needs to be considered. Taffeta as well as some types of satin fabric are suitable for double-sided printing.
Consider the product style
Every material has specifications which mean it is suitable for different styles of textile items. For example, when marking elegant clothing or luxury bed linens, the use of satin labels would be most suitable. That is because of their shiny finish and glossy surface, which create the impression that the product is of high-quality.
What degree of durability does your clothing label need?
Depending on the type of clothing, textile labels have to be resistant to washing at different temperatures, dry cleaning and ironing. Other special requirements include washing with rocks and non-dyeing materials. Dilcom offers a wide variety of materials that adhere to these requirements. We also offer some materials which are resistant to washing with detergents at temperatures of up to 950.
Depending on your application, we can offer your custom fabric labels with a varying degree of durability.
If your woven labels or clothing labels need to be strictly non-flammable, we offer a special kind of nylon taffeta. For instance, this is applicable in the aviation and automotive industry.
Is it necessary to have the ability to quickly and precisely make inventory or trace production?
For this application, the use of RFID labels is most suitable.
For this technology, clothing labels have a built-in RFID chip. This chip makes it possible to read multiple labels simultaneously in a very short time. For this, the RFID reader does not need to have direct visual contact with the label.
Dilcom produces satin, taffeta and cardboard labels with built-in RFID tags.
Do your clothing labels have to adhere to the highest environmental standards?
In the case that they do, Dilcom offers labels, tags produced from recycled polyester fabric with a manufacturer certificate.
In addition to being information carriers, garment labels are a decorative element, that often provides branding for your item. Therefore, it is important that they have a custom design, colour and size, according to the application and brand they represent.
We believe that the effort you put into your textile product deserves to be matched in its label. That is why every clothing label order that our customers trust us with, is made specially for them and their business.
