Custom Sewing Labels - Custom Homemade Sewing Label

Custom sewing labels are a way to help give garments or accessories that you make, a more polished and professional feel, in addition to letting your customers know more about your brand. Many sewing labels are fairly simple, but some are more decorative and really stand out in the crowd. Labels are typically made from fabric and have simple or fancy script stitched into it.

A label created to sew into a garment may include a few bits of important information, such as the following:

-Garment Size
-Garment Material
-Where Garment was Made
-How to Care for the Garment
-Name of the Designer or Brand

The name of the designer or brand is one of the most important things found on a custom sewing label, because it is the face and representative of what your work stands for. The nature, size, and even colors chosen to make your sewing label, let customers know if your clothing is expensive, for kids, sophisticated, casual, or more on the bohemian side.

Types of Sewing Labels

There are usually two types of sew in labels that are used in apparel and accessories.

The first label is the main label, which has the name of the designer or name of the line inside. Typically below the name of the designer or brand, the place where the apparel line was created or started is written underneath. Letters are usually decorative cursive, or a nice crisp readable font. The main label displaying the brand name is usually folded at the edges and sewn down, or can also be sewn completely in a rectangle shape, completely around the label. Some labels can be made as a screen print, a second form of labeling, and not traditionally stitched onto a fabric strip at all.

Second label that depicts the size of the garment, and how to care instructions is another important label sewn into the back of a garment. The letters are usually more plain, and in bold dark lettering, so as to stand out to the customer. It is not important that the letters be very fancy for the how to care garment label, but reflect an instructional nature.

Labels as a Trademark

A trademark helps define a product, identify it, and protect it. Typically the way a label has its name displayed, is in fact the trademark used by a designer or apparel house. Trademarks are both a branding tool, used to shape the image and presentation of a garment for the customer, and keep a house in line with its perception and focus.

How To Make A Custom Sew In Label

Thanks to the internet, you can find many companies that are willing to work with small fashion designers and even big fashion houses, to create the perfect sew in label. You can choose from fancy script in gold or silver metallic threads, or opt for less sophistication with a simpler palate of color choices in a basic thread. Typically turn around time for a minimum of 100 custom labels, with two lines of script may take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to be processed, printed, and delivered to your door. If you have a deadline to meet, it is best to order your labels early, and if possible get proofs sent to you, before continuing to order a large amount of labels.

Custom labels are a form of advertising, branding, and add a sincere look of professionalism to apparel. A designer that is looking to make a good impression on their customers and peers alike, should recognize the importance of having a superior quality label, to match the quality of their product. In the fleeting world of fashion, one day your look is hot, and the next day a passing trend may surpass your work. It is critical that a good solid concept and design is used when making a label to let the world know who you and your product is. A durable custom label, with a wow factor in color, sizing, and craftsmanship really helps make the clothes. Don't be cheap, think fashion forward, simple luxury, and uniqueness. The world is at your fingertips when it comes to the gamut of labels and ideas, so invest in your fashion today, and choose a custom sew in label.
