That is why they are preferred by brands that produce larger runs, need an exact colour match or do not use materials of animal origin. You will most often find them on the back waistband of jeans, on bags and backpacks, on beanies and caps, on jackets and on upholstered furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolkom manufactures custom faux leather labels with the customer's logo. We help you choose the material, thickness, shape and marking technique so the label suits both the item and the style of the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat faux leather is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Faux\", \"eco\" or \"vegan leather\" usually means a textile base with a polyurethane (PU) coating that is given a leather-like texture. The material is light, flexible and even in thickness, and comes in many colours – from classic brown and cognac to black, grey, beige and fashion shades. The surface can be smooth, grained like genuine leather, matt or slightly glossy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Polkom products are available with OEKO-TEX® certification.

This matters when the same collection is produced in several runs, or when the label has to match a specific fabric, the colour of a bag or the upholstery of a piece of furniture. We can match the colour to Pantone or to a sample of your material. The contrast between the leather colour and the marking also counts: a dark deboss on a light base looks discreet, while gold foil on black or dark brown leather looks bold and luxurious. If you are not sure which combination to choose, we will send you mock-ups in several versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere they are used\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ejeans, trousers and denim jackets;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ebags, backpacks, wallets and cases;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ebeanies and caps;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eouterwear and workwear;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003efootwear and accessories;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eupholstered furniture and home textiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and durability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaux leather copes with normal washing of the item more predictably than genuine leather, because it does not shrink or darken. It should still not be ironed directly – high heat can damage the coating. For items that are washed often, such as jeans, we will recommend a material of suitable thickness and resistance and make a sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend us your logo in vector format, the size and shape you want, the material colour, marking technique and approximate quantity.
