In the textile sector, labels carry product identity, size and process information. This page covers self-adhesive label solutions; sew-in and woven labels are outside this scope.
Highlights in This Category
The need for labels in textile products arises from two different purposes: identifying the product and the piece within the production process itself, and informing the user about the product ready for sale. These two needs require different solutions.
This page covers self-adhesive label solutions. These labels are used for piece tracking in cutting workshops, for product identification in warehouse and packing processes, and for carrying product and size information at the point of display and sale. Woven labels sewn into the fabric and permanent care labels belong to a different production method and are therefore not within this scope.
Fabric and leather surfaces are porous and flexible; the adhesive choice is therefore more critical than on smooth plastic surfaces. To increase adhesion, the surface must be clean, dry and, where possible, taut. The adhesive preference also differs between labels used for a short time and labels that will remain for a long time.
For the information that remains on the product (size, product code, care note), legibility and the permanence of the printing come to the fore. On labels used only for process tracking, easy removability can be an advantage.

Textile labels are used at different stages, from production tracking to the point of sale.
The topics below form the basis for determining the right combination in this category. The final choice is clarified together, based on your product surface and usage conditions.
On porous and flexible surfaces, the consistency of adhesion is directly related to the cleanliness and tautness of the surface.
Self-adhesive labels do not replace sew-in or woven labels. If a permanent care label is required, a different production route is needed.
Different adhesive properties are evaluated for short-term process labels and for labels that will remain on the product.
On fabrics that shed fibres or are hairy, the adhesion area is reduced; an adhesive suited to this must be chosen.
If there is friction and moisture, the durability of the print must be evaluated separately.
Printing and application decisions take shape according to how the label will be used on the product.
Fields such as size information and product code must be placed so they can be read quickly.
The label size is planned according to the smallest part of the product and its packaging.
The printing method is determined in advance for variable fields such as size distribution and product code.
A protective surface can be evaluated for labels exposed to friction.
The roll or sheet format is chosen according to manual or machine application.
Sharing this information speeds up the quotation and technical evaluation process and reduces the need for changes during production.

This page covers self-adhesive label solutions. Sew-in and woven labels belong to a different production method and are therefore outside this scope. If you need a woven or sew-in label, you must indicate this separately in the quote form.
If the surface is porous and the product is constantly moving, adhesion can weaken. A clean and taut surface together with the right adhesive choice markedly increases adhesion.
Self-adhesive labels do not replace a permanent care label. Washing, friction and chemical contact affect the label in a short time; if permanent information is required, a different solution is needed.
It depends on the adhesive type and the surface. Options that do not leave residue are preferred for process tracking, while stronger adhesives are preferred for labels that will remain for a long time.
It is determined by taking into account the smallest part of the fabric and the way it is folded. Keeping the typography simple is recommended so the size can be read quickly.
