At LabelGo, we offer two main methods for applying woven labels: iron-on and sew-on. Depending on the product, material, and desired finish, each method offers specific advantages.
1. Iron-On Application (No Sewing Required)
For quick, clean, and convenient application, our woven labels are available with an optional iron-on backing. This backing features a heat-activated adhesive that allows you to apply the label using a standard household iron.
How to Apply:
Place the label on the desired fabric location.
Cover the label with a pressing cloth or baking parchment to protect it.
Press firmly with a hot, dry iron (no steam) for 10–15 seconds.
Allow the label to cool and set for several minutes.
Key Benefits:
Fast and easy – no stitching required
Professional finish – smooth and flat, with no visible thread
Strong adhesion – withstands regular washing when properly applied
Perfect for: Children’s clothing, handmade products, accessories, and DIY projects
Care Tips:
Wait 24 hours before first wash
Machine wash cold or warm; avoid high-heat tumble drying
Optional: For extra durability on high-stress garments, reinforce with a few stitches at the corners
Fabric Suitability:
Best used on heat-resistant fabrics such as cotton, polyester, and blends. Not recommended for delicate, stretchy, or water-resistant materials.
2. Sewing Application
For maximum durability and long-term use, sewing your woven label is a reliable and permanent method. Labels can be sewn by hand or with a sewing machine, depending on your preference and production setup.
Sewing Options:
Top Stitching – sewn around all edges for a flat, secure attachment
Loop-Fold or Center-Fold – sewn into seams or garment edges
End-Fold Labels – stitched on each side, ideal for branding tags
Flat Labels – stitched fully around the perimeter or at selected points
Key Benefits:
Highly durable – ideal for frequent washing or heavy-use garments
Perfect for:
Fashion brands, outerwear, uniforms, formalwear, and garments where longevity is key.
