What Is a Printed Label? – Premium Printed Labels for Clothing and Textile Products

Printed labels are essential components in the textile and garment industry, providing vital information such as brand identity, size details, washing instructions, product composition and usage guidelines. As one of the most versatile and widely used label types, printed labels help manufacturers communicate clearly with consumers while also supporting branding and product presentation.

At Polkom, we produce high-quality printed labels using advanced printing technologies and durable materials, ensuring long-lasting clarity and professional finishing on every product.

Advanced Printing Techniques for Premium Results

We use industry-leading technologies to produce printed labels that meet European and global standards:

• UV Printing

Ideal for sharp details, bright colors and long-lasting durability.

• Flexo Printing

Perfect for large production runs with consistent, high-quality results.

• Silk Screen Printing

Offers deep, solid colors and excellent adhesion—great for strong visual impact.

These techniques allow us to meet even the most demanding branding and textile requirements.

Wide Range of Materials

Printed labels can be produced on multiple substrates depending on customer needs:

– Cotton
– Polyester
– Nylon
– Tyvek
– Satin

Each material is selected based on the product’s usage, feel, durability and washing requirements.

We print up to 5 colors on the front side and 2 colors on the back, allowing for detailed designs, multiple languages and fully customized brand layouts.

Long-Lasting & Washing-Resistant Labels

The inks we use are:

– Washing resistant
– Dry-cleaning resistant
– Non-fading
– Non-cracking

This ensures that printed labels remain legible and visually clean even after many washing cycles. For this reason, our printed labels are used by some of Europe’s most well-known baby clothing brands, where safety and wash durability are essential.

Why Printed Labels Matter

Labels are just as important as the garment itself. A product may be high-quality, but without proper labeling:

– Consumers cannot use or wash the product correctly
– The garment may get damaged
– Customers may not repurchase due to poor user experience

Printed labels communicate:

– Size
– Washing instructions
– Ironing instructions
– Drying instructions
– Fabric composition
– Brand identity

This makes them indispensable for nearly all textile products.

Printed Label Models

Printed label types vary based on production technique and application:

• UV Printed Labels

For high precision and vivid visuals.

• Flexo Printed Labels

Perfect for large volumes.

• Silk Screen Printed Labels

For deep, strong color coverage.

• Care Instruction Labels

Attached to the inside of garments, usually at side seams or armpit area. These provide information on washing temperature, drying conditions, ironing and special care instructions.

• Composition Labels

Detailing fabric percentages (e.g., cotton, polyester, elastane).

• Brand & Size Labels

Showcasing logo, brand name and size.

Each label is produced with precision and designed to withstand long-term use.

Importance of Washing Instruction Labels

Care labels (washing instruction labels) ensure that garments:

– Maintain their form
– Stay durable for longer
– Do not shrink or get damaged
– Are used correctly by consumers

Without proper care labels, product lifespan decreases and customer satisfaction suffers.

At Polkom, we design care labels according to international standards and ensure clarity, readability and durability.

– Size of the label
