Tips On Designing & Producing Woven Labels

Woven labels have many uses. While their original function was as manufacturer tags in garments they are widely used as an inexpensive giveaway at events. Woven labels are sometimes referred to as silkies.

The price of a woven label is based on many things. There are too may variables to be able to produce a price list. If you know the size, backing, complexity of the design, when they are needed and how many are needed we can give you a quote. The information below will help you determine these details.

Size
We can produce any size label you are looking for. While any shape can be made, more complex designs will cost more. A square or rectangular label would be the least expensive.

Backing
Most labels do not have a backing. This means the threads are exposed when turned over. There are backings available at an additional cost depending on what you would like and how large the label is. The possible backings are fleece, plastic and glue.

Design Complexity
The price of a label in not so much dependent on the number of colours but on the complexity of the design. Without seeing anything we can base a price on the average but for a more accurate quote it is best to have a rough sketch of what you are looking for.

Delivery
We require 20 working days from the final okay of the design. A RUSH order is available at a charge of 10% more for 3 week, 25% more for 2 week. There is no absolute delivery guarantee on RUSH orders. Regular delivery shipping cost is $20.00. This price is for orders with regular delivery within North America. RUSH shipping would be extra and is based on the weight of the package and delivery destination.

Quantity
The minimum order is 1,000 pieces of the same design and colour combination. You can order any number you require provided it is over 1,000 pieces.

Sending Art
We do not require you to send vector artwork. Any kind of direction that includes a small sketch will be fine. We realize that many people art not artistically inclined and don't want to attempt to draw their own crest. If you can just indicate where you would like things to layout as well as lettering with correct spelling, this would be sufficient. We work on PC, mainly in Corel Draw. We can accept any PC based file format.
