Custom Woven Labels Made to Last

Looking for the perfect label for your professional product or handmade item and feeling overwhelmed by all the different options? At Dutch Label Shop, we specialize in making professional‑quality custom woven labels accessible to every maker. Whether you run a fashion brand, design handmade goods, or simply want to add a finishing touch to your work, our woven labels combine craftsmanship, precision, and comfort.

Woven clothing labels are made on a Jacquard loom, where threads are woven together to form your exact design. The design is not printed on top, such as with a printed label. Because the artwork becomes part of the fabric itself, woven labels are more durable and higher in quality than most printed labels.

Woven labels are made from polyester yarn. The weaving process is ideally suited for designs with twelve or fewer colors. At Dutch Label Shop, we use damask woven labels. This is a premium weave known for its fine detail, soft feel, and long‑lasting clarity. Damask is a reversible fabric pattern, creating a subtle mirror image on the back of the label. The tight weave delivers:

• Rich, vibrant colors
• Smooth edges and a soft feel against the skin
• Excellent longevity through repeated washing

At Dutch Label Shop, we use Damask Woven Labels, a premium type of weave known for its fine detail and smooth texture. Damask is a reversible fabric pattern, meaning that on the Damask woven labels are ideal for garments like shirts, dresses, trousers, outerwear, knitwear, and denim, but they also work beautifully on bags, accessories, and furniture tags. Woven labels and woven patches also serve specialized industries such as uniforms, military gear, outdoor gear, airsoft/morale communities, and other high‑durability applications.

There are two standard ways to attach a woven label. Woven labels are either sewn on or they are ironed on.

Sew-on woven labels

Sew-on labels offer the strongest and most long-lasting attachment. They work with every fold type and can be sewn in place by hand or with a sewing machine.

Iron‑On Woven Labels

Iron‑on woven labels have a heat‑activated adhesive backing and can be applied quickly with a household iron—great for fast application or when sewing is not preferred.

What makes woven labels different from printed labels?

Woven labels are created by weaving threads together to form your design, making the artwork part of the fabric itself. This results in a more durable, long-lasting label compared to printed labels, where the design is applied on top of the material.

Are woven labels suitable for detailed designs?

With thread options such as 50, 75, and 100 denier, woven labels can capture surprisingly fine details. Lower-denier threads allow for sharper lines and high-resolution text.

How durable are woven labels?

Woven labels are extremely durable and maintain their clarity through repeated washing, drying, and daily wear. Our damask weave offers superior strength and a smooth finish.

How many colors can I use in my woven label design?

Most woven labels support up to 12 thread colors, which is ideal for brand logos, icons, and multi-tone designs.
