Custom Woven Labels: What Is the Ordering Process?
Whether you need woven size labels, brand labels, or care labels, following a clear process prevents costly mistakes: wrong colors, illegible text, incorrect folding, or delayed delivery. Below is the typical workflow used by professional garment label suppliers.
Step-by-Step Ordering Process
1
Share Your Design & Specifications
Provide your artwork — vector files (AI, CDR, PDF) are preferred, but clear sketches or photos are acceptable for simpler designs. Along with the design, specify:
- Label size (width × height, e.g., 35×80mm)
- Folding style (center fold, end fold, or plain cut)
- Weaving type (flat, satin, or jacquard)
- Number of colors (weft / warp yarns)
? Pro tip: Vector artwork gives the sharpest weaving results. Avoid small text under 4pt.
2
Artwork Check & Quotation
Our technical team reviews your design to ensure it is weavable. We identify potential issues (e.g., text too small, too many colors) and suggest improvements. Then we provide:
- A quotation based on size, complexity, and quantity
- Lead time for sample and bulk production
3
Sample Making (Before Bulk Order)
We strongly recommend a physical woven sample before mass production. This step is crucial because:
- Screen colors ≠ real yarn colors
- Fine text may not weave as expected
- You can test the handfeel and edge finish
⏱️ Sample time 5–7 working days
? Sample charge Typically applied, but refundable on bulk order.
4
Sample Approval
Once you receive the sample, check:
- Logo / text clarity
- Color accuracy
- Cutting and folding quality
- Overall durability (rub test, gentle pull)
If changes are needed, we revise and send a second sample free of charge (for minor adjustments).
5
Bulk Production
After sample approval, we move to mass production. Depending on quantity and complexity, production takes:
- 10–20 working days for most orders
- Faster delivery available for urgent requests
We monitor quality throughout: yarn tension, color consistency, cutting precision, and folding accuracy.
6
Quality Control & Packaging
Before shipping, every batch goes through final inspection:
- Visual check for defects (broken yarns, missing folds, uneven edges)
- Random measurement of size tolerance (±1mm)
- Color consistency check
Labels are then packed professionally (rolls or flat packs) to avoid creasing or damage.
7
Shipping & Delivery
We ship via your preferred method (air, sea, courier). Tracking details are provided as soon as the order leaves our factory.
- Express (DHL/FedEx): 3–5 working days
- Air freight: 7–10 days
- Sea freight: 25–40 days (for very large volumes)
