Wholesale woven labels are ordered direct from the manufacturer to your own design: you send an inquiry with your logo and specifications, receive a quote, approve a sample and then the run is woven. The unit price falls as the quantity rises, because the loom set-up is spread over more labels. Minimum quantities depend on the item and are confirmed on inquiry.
Why buy woven labels wholesale from a manufacturer
- Direct communication – you talk to the people who prepare the design and weave the label.
- Technical advice – the manufacturer knows which details will work and which will not.
- Sample control – you approve the real result before the run.
- Repeatability – the design and settings are kept for future orders.
- Combined orders – labels, hang tags, zips and buttons from one supplier.
How the order works step by step
- Inquiry. You send the logo, desired size, weave type, fold, colours and approximate quantity.
- Technical review. The manufacturer checks the design and suggests adjustments if needed.
- Quote. You receive a price based on the specifications and quantity.
- Sample. A sample is woven with the actual yarns and settings.
- Approval. You check the sample – colours, legibility, softness, size – and confirm.
- Series production. The labels are woven, cut, folded and inspected.
- Delivery. Packed by style and size and delivered to your factory or warehouse.
What determines the price
With wholesale woven labels there is no single "per piece" price that applies to everything. The price is made up of several factors:
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Quantity | the strongest factor; a larger run lowers the unit price |
| Size | a larger label needs more yarn and more space on the loom |
| Weave type | taffeta, damask, satin and HD are at different price levels |
| Number of colours | more colours – more yarns and a more complex set-up |
| Special yarns | metallic yarn and other effects |
| Cutting and folding | laser, ultrasonic, complex folds |
| Finishing | iron-on backing, supply on rolls |
For a specific price, request a quote with these specifications. It often helps to ask for a quote for two or three quantities to see how the price changes.
Minimum quantities
Minimum quantities depend on the label type, size and complexity. Because the loom is set up for each design, very small runs cost more per piece. Send an inquiry and you will get exact information for your item. If you are a new brand, discuss an option with fewer variants – one brand label for the whole collection instead of a separate one for each style.
Delivery and packing
For wholesale orders it matters that the labels arrive sorted so they are easy to use on the factory floor. Specify whether you want the labels packed by style, by size or by colourway, and whether you prefer cut and folded labels or rolls. Delivery to EU countries is a standard part of working with a manufacturer that serves customers across Europe. If you sew at another factory, the labels can be shipped directly there.
Samples
The sample is the most important step. It shows the real colours, softness, legibility and size. Before approving a run:
- sew the sample onto a real garment;
- wash it at least once;
- compare the colours with the brand reference in daylight;
- check that the size and fold suit the way the label is sewn on in the factory.
Repeat orders
After the first order, the design and settings are archived. Repeat orders are faster and more predictable, because preparation and sampling do not have to be repeated. It is wise to monitor your stock and reorder in good time, before sewing of the new collection begins. If you plan changes – a new ground colour, new text – say so when reordering so that a new sample can be made.
Combined orders for the collection
The brand label is just one of the garment's trims. When you order from a manufacturer with a wide range, you can combine woven labels with hang tags, care and composition labels, buttons and zips in one delivery and in a consistent style. The full range of labels is in the labels section.
What to prepare for a fast quote
- Vector logo with fonts converted to outlines.
- Visible label size and fold type.
- Preferred weave or a description of the garments.
- Pantone colours or a physical reference.
- Quantity by variant and size.
- Delivery address and country.
Planning by season
Brands working with seasonal collections benefit from planning labels together with the production plan. The brand label is usually common to all seasons and can be ordered in a larger quantity at once, which lowers the unit price. Special labels – for capsule collections, collaborations or limited editions – are planned separately and earlier, because they need a new design and sample. Good practice is to keep a reserve of the main label so that sewing never stops because a label is missing.
Common questions on a first order
New brands often ask whether they can start with a small run, whether they can change the design after the sample and whether the labels are delivered ready to sew. The answers depend on the specific item, but as a rule adjustments before sample approval are a normal part of the process, and labels are delivered cut and folded or on rolls – depending on how you work.
