Garment labels play a crucial role in the fashion industry by communicating product information and reinforcing brand identity. Garment label printing by Aarta Stoke involves various methods and materials suited to different garment types and brand needs, combining aesthetics with functionality to enhance customer experience and ensure compliance.
Importance of Garment Labels
Garment labels serve multiple purposes:
Display brand logos and trademarks, enhancing recognition
Provide care and washing instructions to prolong garment life
Indicate fabric content and size to meet consumer expectations
Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements including country of origin and safety standards
Well-designed, durable labels also positively impact perceived product quality and professional finish.
Types of Garment Labels
Woven Labels: Made by interlacing threads, offering high durability and a refined look suited for premium or branded apparel.
Printed Labels: Use high-resolution printing on satin, polyester, or cotton tapes for multi-color designs and photographic effects.
Heat Transfer Labels: Applied directly to fabric with heat, providing a seamless finish ideal for activewear and children’s clothing.
Printing Techniques and Technologies
Weaving: Allows for precise thread placement to create clear, long-lasting logos and text.
Digital Printing: Provides flexible, vibrant color options and is cost-effective for short runs or customized labels.
Flexographic and Rotary Screen Printing: Offer consistent color and detail for medium to large batches.
