Cloth labels are mainly divided into two types: selvedge and trimmed edges.

Selvage label:

When the required trademark is pointed out according to the width at one time, it is called a selvage label. This process avoids many of the disadvantages of trimming, but yields are lower. There are also flat/satin surfaces, which are characterized by soft and stiff feel. It is more suitable for high-end clothing products, such as fashionable clothes, suits, etc. It is used most by Japanese manufacturers who are very particular about quality, and the machines are also made in Japan. Textile edge labels are generally made of satin, but the satin background color is difficult to express. Processes such as ironing/dying are often used to solve this problem.

The machines for selvage generally include wooden shuttle machines, which generally cannot exceed four colors; there are also crochet machines, which can also weave with various craftsmanship qualities, and can even add transparent polyester yarn to the warp, which is called It is a fish crochet machine.

In addition to the width, total length of each color, and craftsmanship, the cost component of cloth labels also includes the type of yarn used. JB series yarns are commonly used internationally

Trimmed edge labels:

Trimmed edge fabric labels are also called burnt edge labels.

As the name suggests, on a special high-speed machine, a whole piece is woven like woven cloth, and then cut into strips according to the specified width. Because of the heat-melting properties of polyester, the yarns will stick to each other when cut and will not unravel. It is also for this reason that the appearance and feel will be affected to a certain extent. A good machine will be better, and ultrasonic cutting will be better than an ordinary electric hot knife. The strip-packed cloth labels can be directly sorted and sent to the garment factory for processing; if the requirements are strict, they still need to be cut and folded. Because the maximum width of this machine is 20.8cm, it means that it can weave labels of this width and can process various shapes.

According to the classification of technology, it can be divided into two categories: flat labels and satin labels.

Flat label:

A cloth label has a cloth structure and is simply interwoven with one warp and one weft up and down, which is called a simple flat label. Generally speaking, the warp yarns are fixed, either black or white, so they are divided into black flat and white flat. For light-colored backgrounds, white flat is generally used, and for dark colors, black flat is generally used. The pattern and color of the cloth label are mainly expressed by the weft yarn, and the color expressed will be different from the effect of crossing the warp yarn. Because general machines have restrictions on the types of weft yarns they can use, the colors that can be expressed are also limited, generally within 8 types. It can be seen from the above that the price components are: the width of the cloth label, that is, the amount of warp used; the length of the cloth label, and the length of each color along the warp direction. In order to express the details and colors more abundantly, all the wefts are doubled, which is called double-sided labeling. If a certain color needs to be more three-dimensional, add another layer of yarn, which is called double shuttle. Except for washing and size, most of them use flat double-sided labels. The cloth labels are all made of yarn to express the pattern, which is definitely different from the original graphic design, so it is impossible to make a large product without making a sample to confirm.

Satin cloth label:

The concept of satin has been mentioned in several previous places, but there is no detailed introduction. Cloth is made of interlaced warp and weft. In addition to improving the quality by doubling the weft, there is also the possibility of doubling the warp. This process is a satin structure. By doubling the warp, the texture of the fabric label becomes softer and smoother. Because after the warp is doubled, the density is too high, the weft cannot express the pattern well, and the color of the bottom cannot be made very flexible. Certain color requirements can only be achieved through post-processing. Whether a machine is set to produce flat or satin surfaces is generally relatively fixed. The width of trimmed satin generally cannot exceed 10.8CM, and the width of selvedge generally cannot exceed 5.0CM.
