Types Of Clothing Labels And Their Uses

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.

Their main functions are to indicate sizes either large, medium or small, show the fabric of clothes whether silk, cotton, or wool and also to provide instructions on how to wash the garment, either through dry-cleaning or hand-washing. Some tags also show the name of the designer and their signature or the manufacturer. In school or company uniforms, the tag has the name of the school or company.

Labels are positioned at different spots on clothes depending on their function. A label showing the size is placed at the back of clothes, but on the inside. Wash care instructions label are on the inside part of clothes on the side, while the designer or manufacturer details and name of brands are on the outside part of garments to act as a marketing strategy.

Different types of labels are available depending on the function of the label. They are of four main types, brand labels to show the designer or manufacturer, size labels showing a large, small or medium size of the garment, content tags showing the material used in making the garment and lastly the care label to show the owner how to handle cleaning the garment.

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.

The information on woven tags are woven On the clothes. Thus, they have a longer durability as compared to the printed tags which, the ink printed fades on every wash. The main disadvantage of these tags is their expensive nature due to using materials that are very costly which are silk and damask. This tag is thus mainly used for high-quality clothing.

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.

It is easy to get any label type as they are easily available in the market from most online stores. You can also get them at huge discounts to label the uniform of your children or company. You can also label the clothes you make at home for sale. If you do not want the common types of labels available, you can decide to order a custom label instead.
