Custom Woven Labels & Branding Trims
A woven label is the first thing a customer touches when they pick a garment up. It is also the cheapest place to signal that a brand is serious — a properly woven main label costs very little per unit and changes how the whole garment is read.

Damask, satin or taffeta
Damask weaves the design into the label itself — it is the premium option and it does not fade. Satin labels are softer and are usually printed, which allows finer detail but less relief. Taffeta is crisp and takes printing sharply, which suits care and content labels.
The fold matters more than people expect
A centre-fold label is sewn into the collar seam so only the front is visible. An end-fold label is sewn at both ends. Getting the fold wrong means the label sits badly regardless of how good the weave is — so we confirm the fold before production.
Care and content labels are a legal requirement
In the EU, US, UK and most other markets, the fibre composition and care symbols must be shown and must be accurate. We print them against the actual fabric composition, confirmed from the mill certificate.
