Custom cheap woven labels are sometimes crucial for fledgling brands and businesses. Cheap woven labels are also essential garment trims in the apparel industry. Without woven labels, it is difficult to reflect the product logo and size of clothing. Many start-up brands or self-employed brick-and-mortar stores urgently need to save costs. Then, look for personalized and cheap custom woven labels that are just in time for them. So, How to get cheap woven labels for your clothing line? Here at Acctrims, there are 12 tips to help you to get them.
1. Choose smaller size
Choose smaller-size woven labels to save costs. Because the thickness is almost the same, we don’t need to consider too much thickness. However, the smaller the length and width of a woven label, the less material it uses. So the price will definitely be cheaper.
But, when the woven labels are smaller than 1cm, we need to fold them by hand. Then, the price will become higher. So, it’s not that the smaller the size, the cheaper it is. Only when the size is larger than 1mm, is the smaller the cheaper.
2. Use less color
Using less color when customizing cheap woven labels will save costs. The fewer colors you can customize, the cheaper the woven label. The more colors you choose, the higher the price will be. Regarding the color choice, it includes the base color and the color of the logo. Therefore, overall, the simpler the background color and the fewer logo colors, the cheaper the woven label price will be.
If you do not have high requests for custom woven labels, you can choose black or white as the base color. Also, you can choose a black logo or text on a white base or a white logo on black background. Overall, only black and white woven labels are cheaper. Of course, if you don’t need a custom logo, it’s the cheapest to choose a woven label that only has sizes or washing symbols.
However, it would look better with a little more color. And the price will not vary too much. Therefore, in order to pursue the overall quality, you can also choose one or two, or three colors. This kind of woven label looks more beautiful and textured.
3. Order more quantity to lower the unit price
Order more quantities to lower the unit price!
Often, when the number of orders you place is relatively small, the unit price will be relatively higher. But when you place a larger order quantity, the unit price will be much lower. For example, a 55x20mm damask woven label with one base and one color. The price may be 70USD for 200pcs. But the price of 1,000 pcs may be only 110USD. So, the more the quantity, the lower the unit price. And the total price will be much lower than expected.
So, when you are looking for cheap woven label manufacturers, you can make a free inquiry. When making an inquiry, you can ask for more quotations. For example, you can ask how much it is to order 100 pieces. How much it is to order 200 or 300 pieces? And how much is 500 or even 1,000 pcs? If your demand is relatively large, you can ask them how much it is for 10,000 pcs. Then, compare and choose the most suitable woven label quantity for you.
4. Consider more damask woven labels
Damask woven labels will be cheaper than selvage and crochet woven labels. In fact, selvage woven labels are not expensive, but the delivery time is slow. Because there are few selvage machines, it needs a certain amount to start the machine.
The minimum order for starting up a selvage machine is more expensive than that of a damask machine. Therefore, it feels that selvage woven labels are a little higher in price. In fact, when the quantity is the same, there is not much price difference between the two. It’s just because there are few selvage machines and the delivery time is long.
However, damask woven labels can weave richer logo colors. And it has high production efficiency. So the price is relatively cheap. So many customers like to customize damask woven labels. It’s good value for money.
And crochet woven labels are more expensive than the other two woven labels. Because there are few manufacturers who can do crochet woven labels. So, the output is low. But crochet woven labels are more special. It has a high density and looks very stiff and neat. Also, when we pull it, it won’t stay out of shape.
5. Become a regular customer to get a discount and save costs
Become a regular customer to get a discount and cheaper price.
In general, when you choose a woven label maker manufacturer, new customers will get more expensive than old customers. So when you choose a good woven label supplier, you can customize it there for a long time in the future. Choosing a stable woven label producer can save costs.
When you place an order for the second or third time, you can definitely get a discount price. When you become a regular customer, you will definitely get a more favorable price. This is also a common way for woven label producers to attract old customers.
6. Lower the density of the yarn
The density of the yarn will also determine the price of the woven label. So, if you want to customize cheap woven labels, you can reduce the density of the yarn. Then, choose a low-density woven label.
Yarn densities include 50D, 75D, and 100D. What we do are 50D and 75D. The higher the number, the thicker the yarn. Then, the worse its quality is, the cheaper it will be. Conversely, the lower the number, the finer and denser the yarn. Then, the woven label it weaves will be tighter and the price will be more expensive.
If you want your woven logo to look tighter and stronger, a high-density yarn is better. Because such woven labels look higher quality. In fact, the price difference between the two is not big, the key is how you choose. If you have a lower-quality request for woven labels, you can choose low-density yarns.
7. Use less metallic yarns
Gold or silver metallic yarns are more expensive. While other common yarns are cheaper. So, please use less metallic yarns if you want to customize cheap woven labels.
Compared with ordinary yarn, the metallic yarn has better conductivity and high strength. The general specification of textile metal wire is 50D-100D. In the textile field, metallic yarns are mainly suitable for antistatic fabrics, conductive fabrics, and blended fabrics.
And the woven labels made of gold or silver metallic yarns are more high-end and shiny. If your cost or budget is insufficient, it is not recommended to use metallic yarn to weave logos. And it’s better to choose ordinary polyester yarn.
If you have a small budget and want to customize a high-end woven label, you can choose gold or silver polyester yarns.
On the contrary, if your budget is sufficient, choosing a woven label made of metallic yarn will be more high-end and luxurious. They are perfect for suits, tuxedos, and high-fashion garments.
8. Think more about hot cutting than laser cutting
Laser cutting and hot cutting are two different cutting methods. And hot cutting is relatively cheaper than laser cutting. The edge of the laser-cut woven label is softer. While the edge of the hot-cut woven label is a little harder.
So, what is hot cutting? Hot cutting is pulling the woven labels and cutting them off one by one by heating the iron wire. And, what is laser cutting? Laser cutting involves placing a roll of woven labels on an ultrasonic machine. Then through the machine program control, cut them one by one.
However, since most of the woven labels are made of polyester. If we use hot cutting, the yarn will curl when heated and the edges will be rough. So now, there are fewer woven label factories that will use hot cutting. Basically, they use more laser cutting. Because the woven labels cut out by ultrasonic waves feel soft.
9. Choose woven labels in rolls and straight-cut way
When we finish the making woven label, it is the cheapest to choose the machine to cut it directly. In this way, the labels don’t have to be folded. Because fold-woven labels are more expensive than cut ones. The Manhattan fold woven label is slightly higher in price. Because we need to fold it twice. In fact, a straight cut is similar to a middle cut. It’s just a way to fold or not to fold.
But, we must fold the woven labels smaller than 1cm by hand, which is more expensive. However, woven labels in rolls are the cheapest.
Because we can send woven labels in rolls directly to customers. Some customers can cut it by themselves.
10. Use polyester yarn material
There are many materials for cheap woven labels to choose from. The most common are polyester, poly-cotton blends, and RPET(a recycled material).
First of all, woven labels made of polyester are the cheapest.
Then, the Polyester cotton blend material is 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Otherwise, the yarn has no elasticity, and it is easy to break when threading on the machine. They are a bit more expensive than pure polyester woven labels.
Recycled material RPET is more expensive. And it has a higher MOQ and fewer colors to choose from. But, RPET fabric is a new type of eco-friendly, green, and recycled PET fabric. Its yarn is made from plastic bottles. So, it also calls recycled plastic bottle fabric. But, Recycled woven labels are good for people’s health.
11. Simplify your logo crafting
The craftsmanship of the logo determines the price of the woven label. Of course, the simpler the process, the cheaper the price of the woven label.
The logo double weaving has a three-dimensional effect. But, the price will be higher. In general, if the logo is larger or the lines are thicker, it needs to weave twice. Otherwise, the logo will look sparse and appear to be of low quality. But after the logo is rewoven, there will be loose threads on the back. If some guests do mind, it is recommended not to choose logo double weaving.
Some customers have high-quality requests. So, they may require the logo to be 3D-raised or use glue on the logo. Thus, the price will be higher. Because the process is more complicated.
12. Choose a cheap shipping way to save cost
Many customers are more concerned about shipping costs when customizing woven labels. Some countries are relatively remote, and the freight may be relatively expensive. But choosing the right shipping method can also make woven labels cheaper.
First of all, choosing an Express such as DHL, air freight, EMS, or FedEx will be more expensive. Because the express shipping time will be shorter and faster. So the price is relatively higher.
Second, for small goods such as 100 or 1000 woven labels (within 2KG), you can choose Express or Post service. Express is faster but more expensive. Yet, the postal freight is very cheap. But its transportation time is relatively long.
Finally, if you order a large number of woven labels, such as more than 10,000. Then, their weight may exceed 2 kg, so it is not recommended to use post service.
