When you’re designing custom woven labels, it’s easy to think only about size, colors, or your logo. But there’s another detail that makes a big difference: the fold and finish.
The type of fold doesn’t just change how your label looks — it also affects comfort, durability, and how professional your product feels. That’s why at UpperLabels we offer nine fold and finish options to match every kind of brand.

Why folds actually matter
Picking the right fold is more important than most people think. It can decide:
Where you can place the label – neck, hem, or side seam.
How it feels to wear – folded edges are softer and more comfortable.
How long it lasts – the right fold makes your label stronger.
How polished it looks – clean finishes make your brand look professional.
The 9 fold types we offer
Here’s a quick look at the fold styles available on UpperLabels:
Standard Label (SL) – flat, no folds, super simple.
