Our bespoke sew-in labels can be used in so many different ways, including clothing, bags, and an endless array of beautiful handmade items.

What Are Sew-on Labels Used For?

Where's The Best Place To Use My Custom Sew On Labels?

Our top-quality sewing labels can be personalised to suit all your crafting needs. Whether that be embellishing your most recent creation or displaying important information about your garments, for example, by sewing a brand label or size label into the collar of your clothes.

But why stop at one? You can add multiple sewing labels to your garment if you're strategic about where and how you apply them. Try adding a small yet impactful folded sewn-on clothing label around the hem of your shirt or sleeve. Or, you could even pop one over the top of a t-shirt pocket. Seams are also an excellent place to hide a few other important label types, such as a Size label, brand label with your logo, or even a Made-in label.

Sew-on labels are also an excellent option to use as name labels for your clothing to ensure that nothing ever goes a miss. Whether you need a label for your trousers, skirt, coat, socks, hat or more, our custom sewing labels are the perfect choice.

To Sew-in or to Sew-on? That is the Question

No need to stress, as whichever way you sew it, you'll be sure to stitch your way to success, as these two terms mean exactly the same thing! You'll find them used interchangeably to explain the process of adhering your Sewing Labels, Sewing Tags, Sew-in Name Tags, Sew-on Labels and whichever term you're familiar with to your garments and creations.

We pride ourselves on offering the very best in quality, service and attention to detail and therefore make all of our damask Sewing Labels using 100% polyester thread. We carefully weave each Woven Label on Jacquard looms for a beautiful and top quality finish. Choose from an array of premium options and specs, including:

• 100, 75, or 50 denier thread for capturing minute design details
• Laser-cut for quality and any custom shape you can imagine
• Folded or flat edge finishes for virtually any style or application

Printed or Woven Sew-on labels?

If you're after a little extra detail and an endless array of colour combinations, perhaps our Printed Sewing Labels are the one for you. DLS Printed Fabric Labels are made from polyester and have been specially designed to last the test of time.

In general, they are a little less sturdy than Woven Labels and therefore start at a slightly lower price point.

What Size Sewing Labels Does DLS Offer?

We make sewing labels in all kinds of custom shapes and sizes. Either upload your own custom shape or use a standard rectangle shaped label starting as small as 0.30" x 0.30", or as large as 7.87" x 7.87".

Alternatively, our Label Designer Tool offers labels in 3 standard sizes:

• 0.6 x 2.4 inches
• 0.8 x 2.4 inches
• 0.9 x 2.7 inches

Check out our guide on how to sew on different types of sewing labels for hassle free application.

How Do You Sew A Seam On A Label?

When designing your custom labels, you will first need to consider how your labels will be attached to the items. Some labels (like centerfold labels) are sewn into a seam, so the raw edges are hidden in a seam. This means the label will need enough black space (seam allowance) at the top and bottom of the label so that the text/design isn't cut off when placed into the seam.

Other labels can be stitched down flat at the back neck or waistband. Just make sure when you are designing your labels to take into account where the stitches will be and keep that area clear so that your design wont be cut off or ruined by the stitch marks.

If you're using our Design Upload tool, you can add additional seam allowance around the outside of your design to give you more space to work with.
