COTTON LABELS PRINTING
What Are Cotton Labels?
Cotton labels are a type of satin label made from 100% natural cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. These labels are known for their soft texture, durability, and classic look, making them ideal for handmade products, clothing, and accessories. They are printed using specialized ink and offset printing techniques to ensure high-quality, vibrant designs.
Key Features of Cotton Labels
1. Material
Cotton labels are made from natural cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. This ensures a soft, non-itchy texture that is gentle on the skin, making them perfect for clothing and accessories.
2. Printing Colors
These labels feature a classic cream-colored background and can be printed with up to 5 colors per label. The colors are vibrant and long-lasting, ensuring your design stands out.
3. Size and Quantity
The standard size for cotton labels is 1 x 6 cm, but custom sizes are available. Labels are sold in rolls of 100 meters, with each roll containing approximately 1,600 labels (depending on the size and spacing for sewing).
4. Durability
Cotton labels are resistant to fading, even after multiple washes. This makes them a reliable choice for products that require frequent cleaning.
Printing Process for Cotton Labels
1. Material Preparation
The process begins with high-quality cotton fabric rolls. These rolls are carefully ed to ensure the final product meets the desired standards.
2. Offset Printing
Specialized ink is used to print designs onto the cotton fabric using offset printing techniques. This method ensures sharp, detailed prints, even for small and intricate designs.
3. Cutting and Finishing
After printing, the labels are cut to the specified size. For labels that will be sewn on one side, a heat-cutting method is recommended to prevent fraying.
Advantages of Cotton Labels
• Soft and Comfortable: The natural cotton material is gentle on the skin and doesn’t cause itching.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The classic cream background and vibrant colors make these labels visually appealing.
• Quick Turnaround: Production time is typically 7-10 days, making it a fast option for businesses.
• Durability: The labels are resistant to fading and can withstand repeated washing.
• Customizable: Small, intricate designs can be printed with precision.
Disadvantages of Cotton Labels
• Higher Cost: Cotton labels tend to be more expensive compared to other materials.
• Limited Background Colors: The labels are typically available in a cream background, which may not suit all designs.
How to Calculate the Number of Labels per Roll
If you’re wondering how many labels you’ll get per roll, here’s a simple formula:
Number of Labels = (Total Length of Roll) / (Label Length + Sewing Margin)
For example:
• Roll length: 10,000 cm
• Label size: 1.5 x 5 cm
• Sewing margin: 1 cm (0.5 cm on each side)
Number of Labels = 10,000 / (5 + 1) = 1,600 labels per roll
Common Issues and Solutions
1. Fraying Edges
If you’re sewing the label on one side, opt for heat-cutting to prevent fraying. For double-folded labels, traditional cutting methods work well.
2. High Initial Quantity
While the minimum order quantity is 5,000 labels, the cost per label is relatively low. Plus, any unused labels can be repurposed as gift ribbons or for other creative uses.
Pricing and Customization
The cost of cotton labels depends on the size, quantity, and number of colors. To get an accurate quote, provide the following details:
• Label Design: Include your logo or design file.
• Background Color: Typically cream, but other options may be available.
