  • Metal label with a bronze finish

    Metal Labels

    Custom metal labels are durable, sleek nameplates often used to showcase brand names or important information on products and machinery. Serving as both a branding and informational tool, they elevate a product's aesthetic appeal and convey an impression of quality and longevity. Thickness plays a pivotal role in the selection of metal labels, but the choice of metal is equally significant. Options include stainless steel, brass, copper, zinc, and what's known in the industry as "iron" - mild steel. Stainless steel is typically left unplated due to its inherent resistance to tarnish. In contrast, metals like brass, copper, zinc, and steel usually receive plating, often in finishes like gold, nickel silver, or even brass. Notably, brass plating is crucial for brass labels, as it helps prevent oxidation—a persistent issue with unplated brass. Even polished brass, without this protective plating, will inevitably oxidize over time.

    Embroidered Labels

    Embroidered labels are crafted through a meticulous process where designs are stitched onto fabric using needle and thread. Unlike printed labels, embroidery provides a raised, tactile feel, giving depth and dimension to designs. Each stitch is carefully plotted, and a combination of thread colors is used to bring the design to life. For products that can withstand the process, such as apparel or bags, you also have the option to bypass the label altogether and directly embroider the design onto the product itself. This direct embroidery offers a more integrated look, making the design appear as an intrinsic part of the item. By choosing embroidery, whether as a label or direct application, you're opting for a durable, premium, and timeless branding solution.

  • Woven label used for clothing

    Woven Labels

    Woven labels or cloth labels are intricately crafted by weaving threads together, producing detailed designs that seamlessly merge with the fabric. Unlike embroidered labels, woven ones offer a flatter finish, providing detailed designs without the raised texture. There are different finishing options tailored to your aesthetic and functional needs. If you're looking for sharp, defined edges, the printed with laser-cut edge offers precision and a clean finish. For a traditional, textured feel, the woven with stitched edge is ideal, as it integrates the label’s border with stitches. Meanwhile, the woven with laser-cut edge combines the intricacy of woven designs with the precision of laser cutting, ensuring a polished appearance. Each of these finishes ensures your label not only looks impeccable but also withstands wear and tear, upholding your brand's reputation for quality.
