Woven labels are fabric labels where the brand’s logo is created by weaving the threads on a loom. They are the classic label sewn into the collar or the seams of a garment, the one that conveys quality at the touch. Flat, thin and durable, they keep their definition over time and are the most common choice in quality clothing. Redmark makes them to measure in Italy, with the brand’s graphics and the fabric best suited to the garment.
If you are looking for woven labels or custom fabric labels for your garments, the choice concerns the fabric, the colours and the edge finish. Below you will find what they are, how they differ from printed labels and the most frequent questions.
What woven labels are
A woven label is a fabric label in which the logo and text are not printed but created by weaving coloured threads on a loom, with the jacquard technique. The design is therefore part of the fabric itself. The result is a flat, elegant label, with full colours and a definition that resists washing and use, precise even when the logo is small. It is the type of label found in the collar or the seams of quality garments.
Woven labels or fabric labels, how they are named
Woven labels and fabric labels usually refer to the same product, the label with the logo made on a textile base. The word woven stresses the jacquard technique, with the design interlaced in the threads, while fabric stresses the material. In both cases it is the textile label personalised with the brand’s mark.
Where and how they are used
Woven labels are applied above all inside the garment, sewn into the collar or the side seams, where they carry the brand logo and often the size. They are also used as outer or applied labels when the mark needs to be visible. They suit knitwear, shirting, outerwear and all clothing that wants a tailored, durable detail.
Materials and look
Redmark makes woven labels in polyester, cotton, satin and nylon, with the yarn and the weaving density chosen according to the desired effect. Jacquard allows multi colour logos with clean edges, while for very detailed or shaded graphics high definition printing on the fabric can be considered. The edge finish and the fold of the label are also defined according to how it will be applied to the garment.
Customisation
The woven label is customisable in the logo, the colours, the format and the edge finish. You choose the fabric, the number of colours and the type of fold or cut, for a label consistent with the brand identity and comfortable against the skin.
Why choose woven labels
Woven labels combine elegance, durability and precision. The elegance of a logo integrated into the fabric, the durability of a design that does not peel off and does not fade like a print, and the precision of jacquard even on small details. This is why they are the standard of quality clothing and the natural choice for the brand logo in the collar.
Woven labels in the brand system
The woven label also performs best when it is coordinated with the other brand elements. Along with woven labels, Redmark makes embroidered, printed, heat transfer, metal and leather labels, patches, hang tags and packaging. Coordinating graphics and finishes makes the brand consistent across the whole line. → See also: Custom labels · Heat transfer labels · Metal labels · Leather labels

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between woven and printed labels?
In woven labels the logo is interlaced in the threads of the fabric, so it looks elegant, defined and durable. In printed labels the logo is printed on top of the fabric, a more economical solution suited to complex graphics but less resistant over time.
What materials are they made of?
Polyester, cotton, satin and nylon, with yarn and density chosen according to the desired effect.
Where are they applied?
In the collar, in the side seams or outside the garment, according to the use, with the logo and often the size.
Do they withstand washing?
Yes. The woven logo is part of the fabric itself, so it does not peel off and does not fade like a print, and it resists washing well.
Can I have a multi colour logo?
Yes. Jacquard allows multi colour logos with clean edges. For very detailed graphics high definition printing on the fabric can be considered.
Can I coordinate them with the other labels and the packaging?
Yes. Redmark makes woven labels together with embroidered, printed, heat transfer, metal and leather labels and coordinated packaging.
