Clothing Labels: Design Made Easy

High Quality Custom Clothing Labels

Clothing labels are small tags or patches attached to garments that provide key information about the product. They typically include details such as the brand name or logo, size, care instructions (such as washing and drying directions), composition, country of origin, and sometimes additional information such as the manufacturer's address or barcode.

Manufacturers, importers, resellers and even individuals in the fashion world rely on them to add a professional touch to their creations.

At Wunderlabel, we understand the value of quality finishing touches. Our selection of clothing labels and clothing name labels offer durability, style and functionality, making them the ideal choice for your projects. Whether you're an aspiring designer, a seasoned manufacturer, or an avid craftsperson, Wunderlabel offers solutions that will enhance your brand and add value to your garments.

Advantages of Personalized Clothing Tags

Clothing labels may seem like small details, but their impact on products is immense. They are important tools for branding, information dissemination, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and marketing.

Regulatory compliance: Can be used to display regulatory information, such as safety warnings, material content disclosures, and compliance with industry standards. This ensures that the garment meets regulatory requirements and maintains consumer safety.

Marketing Opportunity: Excellent space for additional branding, such as advertising messages, QR codes that link to digital content, or eco-friendly certifications. They serve as a silent but powerful marketing tool that communicates your brand values to customers.

Custom Woven Clothing Tags 

• Polyester

Polyester is known for its versatility and toughness. Its inherent durability ensures that your polyester labels will last even after prolonged use and repeated laundering. Good quality polyester labels and tags can be washed in hot water (up to 194°F / 90°C).

Despite its robust nature, polyester has a soft touch that provides both durability and comfort. This combination makes polyester labels an ideal choice for a wide range of applications including clothing, accessories, home textiles and more.

At Wunderlabel, we take advantage of the exceptional properties of polyester to make our custom woven labels with logo or text. We offer a variety of customization options that are particularly interesting for clothing brands, including folding, taffeta edging, laser-cut mounting holes, and more. 

Our polyester tags are made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles. They are also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100a certified, making them not only environmentally friendly, but also safe for baby and child's clothing.

Available as iron-on clothing labels or sew-on

Custom Printed Clothing Labels

• Satin Polyester

Satin polyester is a prevalent choice for labels due to its widespread availability and versatility.

Its smooth surface provides the perfect canvas for printing, ensuring vivid and long-lasting results. Whether it's a single color print or the full CMYK spectrum, including white on black, satin polyester delivers exceptional print quality.

The edges of printable satin labels are soft and won't fray. They are often used for care instructions inside clothing because they are robust but soft on the skin.  Many of Wunderlabel's printed labels are made from satin polyester: Standard and brand labels, as well as care tags are all available. 

• Cotton

A natural material that adds a beautiful decorative touch. Printed cotton makes ideal labels for handmade items, and things that do not need to be washed frequently or at high temperatures. Wunderlabel offers single color printing on cotton, either with your logo or text. Our cotton clothing labels have a unique texture and a neutral light beige color. It's important to note that cotton ribbon cannot be heat cut to seal the edges and the cut sides must be folded over before sewing.

• PU (Polyurethane)

Polyurethane is a polymer that is used for stickers and clothing labels because it is durable but lightweight. Our iron on name labels for clothing, particularly popular for daycare and school use, offer a simple and affordable labeling solution. White background with single color print are available, providing clarity and visibility. Wunderlabel's PU iron-on labels look very similar to stick-on clothing labels and also need to be individually peeled off a release paper.

• Tyvek®

Tyvek is a registered product renowned for its use in personal protective equipment (PPE) and the building trade. These clothing labels are waterproof and tearproof, making them the perfect choice for outdoor clothing and equipment. Our large care labels are available in Tyvek and can be designed with your logo, text, and laundry symbols. Additionally, Tyvek is a great choice for displaying your logo or a text on sportswear, camping equipment, and more.

• Imitation Cotton

Made of polyester, imitation cotton offers a budget-friendly alternative to real cotton. With less fraying than real cotton, imitation cotton labels are easier to work with. Despite being polyester-based, imitation cotton labels mimic the look and texture of real cotton. Our imitation cotton tags are fully customizable with artwork, text, symbols, and even QR codes. Enjoy vibrant, full CMYK spectrum prints for a personalized touch.

Leather Labels with Your Logo or Text

• Real leather

Genuine leather is a highly prized material known for its timeless beauty that only enhances with age when properly cared for. Leather can be embossed or engraved. Leather labels are durable on the whole but cannot be washed. They are therefore best suited to non-washable clothing items or accessories such as bags and hats. Wunderlabel's genuine leather labels come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes and can be customized with your own design or text. We use laser engraving and cutting techniques to ensure precision and quality.

• Faux leather

Faux leather is a popular choice for those seeking an animal-friendly option without compromising on style. High-quality faux leather is indistinguishable from real leather, offering a flexible and durable material for your labels. We offer a wide range of faux leather labels in different colors, finishes, sizes, and shapes, including a premium range for elevated sophistication. Wunderlabel's faux leather labels can be washed in cool water (up to 85°F / 30°C). Just like our the real leather ones, our faux leather labels are meticulously laser engraved and cut. Customizable with your logo or text.

• WunderPap

WunderPap is an innovative material exclusive to Wunderlabel that offers a unique blend of paper-like texture with an almost suede-like appearance. Similar to the large patches found on denim jeans, WunderPap labels change texture with each wash, adding character to your products. WunderPap is highly resistant and washable in warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C). Available in a variety of options, WunderPap labels are precision-made using laser technology.
