You have sewn, crocheted, or knitted an awesome line of clothing items to sell and you want to add your signature logo, sizes, and care/content labels. While some fiber artists enjoy the challenge of using embroidery machines to create their own embroidered garment labels, others prefer to order bulk quantities of custom woven labels through services offered online. According to Stadriemblems’ Woven Labels division, compared with embroidered labels, woven labels offer “greater detail, crisper lettering, and thinner lines”. For that reason fiber artists like myself will be interested in the following online services that specialize in woven labels.

A division of Stadriemblems in New York, the Woven Patches website designs custom woven patches and labels from sizes .5 inches to 4.5 inches in units of 50 pieces to 5000 pieces.
