The Variety And Uses Of 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.

Different functioning labels are placed on different positions of clothes. On the inside part of the side of clothes is the wash care instructions label, the back inside part of clothes has the label showing size while for marketing purposes the brand name and signature by the designer or manufacturer are placed on the outside part of the cloth.

The functions of the tags help categorize them into different types, size, content, care and brand tags. The size tags show whether the cloth is small, medium or big, a content label will show the material used to make the cloth, the manufacturer or designer is mentioned in the brand label and lastly the care labels to show the preferred manner of treating the material during washing.

They are further classified according to the display used for the information that is in two types printed and woven tags. In printed tags, the information is printed using a permanent ink and often made from cotton or synthetic material example polyester, nylon or satin. However, the printed types do not last as long as the woven types as the ink easily fades on washing.

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.
