Woven Label Branding and Design Guide

     We call ourselves “The Branding Specialists” because we realize that your label design will play a big part in how your product is perceived in the marketplace, and have therefore trained our artists in the techniques that specifically make for a successful label. Whether you are a large apparel company or a new designer looking to make your mark in the fashion or accessories industry, or have any product requiring a label, we will work with you to design and deliver a label that will make your brand stand out from the rest. First impressions are important, let New York Custom Labels make sure it’s a great one.

Also, an unfolded straight cut, diecut, or even a rolling label might suit your product best.
 
 
 
Fonts and Colors
While many fonts are available for your label, bolder simpler fonts are easier to read when woven. Also the colors you choose for your words and background have the biggest effect on how your label looks.
The example to the right shows 3 different font styles and thicknesses on the same label.

Colors Example
The figure to the left is an example of complimentary, non- clashing color comblinations. From this example you can also get an idea of how different fonts will weave.
Our designers will be happy to suggest complimentary font and color combinations to fit your brand’s identity.
 
 
Label Material

What your label is made of is just as important as what it says and how it looks. If your logo is small and detailed, Damask is probably the best choice since it has the thinnest, finest quality yarns. It is the premium choice for woven labels today.
