Woven Labels
Taffeta Woven Labels
Taffeta is the most economical woven label available and is priced lower than damask or satin. Taffeta isn't as sturdy as the other woven labels, but if you are looking for a nice, inexpensive label to put on the side of bags, hats, scarves, etc, taffeta woven labels could be perfect for your needs.
Why choose taffeta woven labels over damask or satin?
Taffeta is an anomaly. It's not so great for weaving small details in artwork, but can weave small letters nicely. Also, taffeta tends to be the scratchiest of all woven labels, so if it's touching skin, we do not recommend this weave.
Taffeta polyester threads are used for the background, while damask polyester threads weave the design. While taffeta has more background color options than satin, the options are more limited than damask. If you want to match a very specific background color to a PantoneTM number, then damask would be best.
However, taffeta also dries very quickly, so if you produce swimsuits or towels, taffeta woven labels can be a great option.
Colors & Size
For taffeta woven labels, we have many color choices to choose from for the design and lettering. The background colors are a little more limited. Please ask a sales rep for more information. For color matching, we can match PantoneTM colors.
When counting the amount of colors for taffeta woven labels, keep in mind that the background color is included. These are all threads woven together on a loom, so even a white background is a thread color.
There is a maximum of 6-7 colors for woven labels. The amount of colors in your label also affects price. Please ask a sales rep for more information.
You can do any size label you want, but size over a certain point does change the price. A sales rep can help you decide what size is best for your product and budget.
Taffeta woven labels are cut with a heat knife or sonic laser, which adheres the threads together to prevent fraying.Â
