Common Materials for Clothing Care Labels (Quick Guide)
Choose a material based on softness, durability, and where the label will be placed (neck, side seam, waistband).
Cotton Fabric — Soft and comfortable. Popular for womenswear and kidswear, commonly used for neck labels and wash labels.
Single-Sided Satin — Smooth with a slight sheen. A widely used option for wash labels with clear printed text.
Double-Sided Satin — Same smooth look on both sides. Great for fold-in care labels and double-sided printing when needed.
Single Woven Tape — Woven texture with a more structured feel than satin. A premium option for neck labels and care labels.
- Double Woven-Edge Tape — Thicker and more durable. Recommended for outerwear (coats, jackets, windbreakers) and heavy-use garments.
