Elevate Your Products With Personalised Hem Tags For The Perfect Finish!

Have you ever noticed a small folded tag on the hem, sleeve, side seam, or neckline of a garment? That’s a hem tag. These tags are an excellent way to brand your clothing with a subtle and stylish touch. They’re also versatile enough to be added to a wide range of products, including toys, pillows, yoga mats, bags, and more. Whether as part of a complete labelling suite or as a standalone feature, hem tags are a fantastic choice for showcasing your brand.

Hem tags are a modern and stylish way for designers to make their creations stand out while adding a unique touch to their work. These labels provide a subtle yet effective way to enhance your designs and display your personal brand, whether placed along the bottom hem, on the sleeve, or at the neckline of a garment. For an even bolder branding option, take a look at our custom neck tags—perfect for showcasing your individuality and leaving a lasting impression with every piece you create.

The typical size for hem tags is 1"x2", designed with a horizontal centre fold. Once folded, the tag measures 1"x1", creating a neat, compact square. This size is versatile and works perfectly as a stylish addition to any garment or item that can accommodate a tag.

Hem tags can be attached in various ways, depending on where you want to place them. If the hem tag is positioned over a waist or sleeve hem, you can easily stitch it in place using a sewing machine or by hand, ensuring the back of the label is also secured. Another popular method is inserting the hem tag into the side seam of a pair of trousers, skirt, t-shirt, or sweater. This can be done just before the side seam is closed, ensuring the label is facing outward for visibility.

When deciding between a custom woven or printed label for your hem tag, there are several factors to keep in mind. Our customer service team is always ready to assist you in choosing the best option for your needs.

In general, a custom woven label is a popular choice for hem tags, but there are situations where a printed label may be a better fit:

• Colours: If your design includes twelve or fewer colours, a woven label is ideal. For designs with more than twelve colours, a printed label is the better option.
• Quality: Woven labels offer superior durability and a more refined finish compared to printed labels.
• Gradients: For labels featuring gradients, a custom printed label will be your best option, as woven labels are less suited for gradient effects.
• Intricate Designs & Small Print: If your design is highly detailed or involves very fine print, a printed label may work better to capture every detail.

There are many creative ways to use hem tags to enhance your visibility and branding. Their small size makes them ideal for showcasing your logo, subtly displaying your brand on the outside of garments. Here are a few examples of where you can place custom hem tags:

• Sewn onto the sleeve hem of a t-shirt
• Attached to the waistband hem of a t-shirt, shirt, or top
• Fixed onto the cuff of shorts
• Peeking out from the side seam of a t-shirt or top
• Sewn onto the cuff of a knitted hat
