Custom Woven Labels

Woven labels show your logo and text with colored yarn instead of ink. Weavers make them on looms fitted with a Jacquard mechanism, which controls every thread and builds the design thread by thread. As a result, the color sits in the yarn itself and doesn't fade in the wash. Since 2014, Etiket.az has supplied woven labels to clothing brands, ateliers and garment factories in Azerbaijan.

Why choose woven labels

Wash-resistant

The color is in the yarn, so it stays bright after many washes.

Crisp detail

Damask quality, in particular, keeps small text and fine lines legible.

Sealed edges

The laser melts and seals the polyester edge, so it won't fray.

Premium look

Metallic thread and a precise weave signal quality.

Any size

Pick a standard size or give us your own.

Types of woven labels: damask, satin and taffeta

The weave quality largely defines how a label looks. We usually recommend damask, because it offers the best balance of detail and durability.

Sizes, folds and cut options

We make woven clothing labels in any size. However, clients most often choose 20×30, 15×50, 20×60, 25×70 or 40×40 mm. The minimum width is 15 mm.

  • Straight cut: you sew the label on all four sides, so it suits any seam.
  • End fold: we fold both ends back, so the label is easier to sew in.
  • Center fold: we fold the label in half, and both sides can carry information.
  • Loop fold: the label doubles as a hanging loop, for example on towels.

After weaving, we cut the labels with a laser, because the beam seals the edge. On upholstered furniture, makers usually sew a center-folded label at the back, where it stays discreet.

Colors, detail and metallic thread

A standard woven label has two colors: the background and the logo. If your design needs more, we add colors, typically up to 8 including the background. Send Pantone codes, and we will pick the closest shades from the thread catalog. Thread palettes differ from print, so we can't promise a perfect match, but the difference is usually minimal. For textiles, the Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors system (TCX codes) works especially well.

Design tips

  • Keep text at least 2 mm tall, or letters may merge.
  • We slightly thicken lines finer than 0.3 mm.
  • Use flat color areas instead of gradients or photos.
  • Keep metallic elements bold, since metallic thread is thicker.

For a premium effect with gold or silver thread, see metallic woven labels.

Sew-in, iron-on and adhesive backing

Sewing is the most reliable option, because the label stays for the garment's whole life. An iron-on backing, however, helps where sewing is difficult. Adhesive backing suits packaging and accessories better. We confirm which options work for your design in the quote.

Minimum order, lead time and price factors

The minimum order is 1,000 pieces, and the unit price drops noticeably as quantity grows. The estimated lead time is 10–15 business days after artwork approval. These factors affect the price:

  • size (small formats usually differ little)
  • number of colors and share of metallic thread
  • weave quality: damask, satin or taffeta
  • fold, cut and backing type
  • quantity and number of designs.

Who uses woven labels

Makers of T-shirts, shirts, dresses, trousers and ties use woven labels, and so do upholstered furniture factories. A label can carry just the logo, but brands often add the size (S, M, L, XL), the country of origin ("Made in Azerbaijan") or fiber content. For sector advice, see clothing brand labels.

It's easier to order woven labels as part of a kit: add care labels for the inside seam and hang tags for retail. You can browse every type in clothing labels.

Woven labels FAQ

Ordering and lead time

What is the minimum order for woven labels?
The minimum order is 1,000 pieces. Loom setup and yarn preparation make tiny runs uneconomical, because the unit cost would be too high. As quantity grows, the unit price drops noticeably. If your order includes several designs, we confirm the split in the quote.
How long does woven label production take?
Plan for about 10–15 business days after artwork approval. Quantity, colors, metallic thread and our current workload all affect timing, so we state the exact date in your quote. If your collection has a fixed launch date, mention it in your request.
How can I lower the cost of woven labels?
Fewer colors save the most, because each extra color adds to the price. Small formats usually differ little in cost, so avoid enlarging the label without a reason. Combine a whole season of needs into one order and keep metallic thread for accents. Send your logo, and we will price several options.

Design and materials

What is the difference between woven and printed satin labels?
On a woven label, we weave the logo in thread, so the color doesn't fade and the surface has a slight texture. On a printed satin label, ink sits on smooth tape: it feels softer and costs less, but the print can fade after many washes. See our woven vs satin labels guide.
How many colors can a woven label have?
A standard woven label has two colors: background and logo. However, we can use more, typically up to 8 including the background. Each extra color adds a little to the price. Send Pantone codes, and we will match the closest thread shades.
Is an iron-on backing available?
Yes, many designs can take an iron-on backing. It helps where sewing is difficult and on promotional items. However, sewing is more reliable on garments that go through frequent washing, because adhesive can weaken over time. We will choose the best option together.
Can I see the label before production?
Before every order, we send an actual-size digital proof and start production only after you approve it. We confirm the option and timing of a physical sample in the quote, depending on order size. If you'd like to meet at our Baku office, please call ahead.
