3 Differences Between Woven and Printed Labels

The Difference between Woven and Printed Labels for Your Business

To choose the right clothing label for your products, you need to know how they differ as well as what benefits one type of label offers over another. There are certain circumstances where one kind of label would be more desired than another, and we want to point out a few of those instances and cover how printed labels and woven labels differ from one another. We are looking at these differences from a business perspective. You need to know how to choose the right one for your company.

The Detail
The major difference is how much detail these two types of labels can show. Printed labels can have as much detail as you like. They can show very minor components that can be easily discerned by the naked eye. Woven labels, on the other hand, have to be designed in such a way as to accommodate the fuzziness of the final look.

For instance, if you want words to show up legibly on woven labels, then they need to be large, capital letters. If you go for smaller, common letters, then you will get a label that might be difficult to read. Your brand name might not show up clearly and any message you are writing on the label will be very hard for your customers to make out. You even have to be careful with logos on woven labels, because if they are too small, then they may not show up properly and your logo may be tough to make out.

Cost
Of course, if you are choosing a clothing label for your company to be used on a number of products, then you need to factor in the cost when you are making your decision. You can’t necessarily afford an expensive label to be used for a large order. The increased cost can add up quickly and suck out your profits. Printed labels can be cheaper or the same price when compared to woven labels, but where the price usually differs is in the background color. With woven labels, you a choose a wide range of colors for the same price or nearly the same price as a simple white label. For printed labels, there are usually only one or two colors the label company will offer as standard. If you want something that’s a different color, then you will usually have to pay extra. Keep that in mind as you are making your decision.

Timeliness
How soon do you need your order of clothing labels? Not all types of labels take the same amount of time to produce, and you need to ask about that before you make your decision. If you need your order in just a few days, then you may be limited as to what type of label you use. Be sure to ask about the timeframe on the labels if it is important to you. New product launches and other timed events may not provide much leeway for you in terms of scheduling, so be sure to find out upfront how long you have to wait for the labels.
