I will design custom woven and printed clothing labels and hang tags

About this gig

I will design custom woven and printed clothing labels and hang tags that make your apparel brand look finished, professional, and ready for the rack. Whether you sew at home, run a small studio, or manage a growing fashion line, I create print-ready label and tag artwork tailored to your garments and your factory's spec sheet.

What you get

A clothing label or hang tag is the first physical thing a customer touches and the last thing they read before they decide your brand is "real." I design that touchpoint with the same care you put into the garment itself. Here is exactly what you walk away with:

  • Custom label artwork for woven labels, printed satin/cotton labels, or screen-printed inside-neck designs, drawn to your chosen dimensions (loop-fold, end-fold, straight-cut, or center-fold).
  • Hang tag design for the front and back, sized to your spec (standard 2x3.5", square, mini, bookmark, or a custom die-cut shape).
  • Care label / wash label layout with laundry symbols, fiber content, country of origin, and size run, formatted to read cleanly at small scale.
  • Brand mark adaptation so your existing logo (or one I refine) survives being woven at thread resolution or printed at tag size without turning to mush.
  • Print-ready files: layered vector (AI/EPS/PDF) plus high-resolution PNG/JPG, set up in CMYK with correct bleed and safe margins for a die-line.
  • A clean die-line / cut guide your printer or label weaver can drop straight into production.
  • Color callouts (Pantone references where relevant) so what you approve on screen is what comes off the loom or press.

You receive source files you actually own and can hand to any manufacturer. No locked, flattened, "trust me" exports.

How it works

  1. You share the brief. Send me your logo (any format), brand colors or vibe, garment type, the label/tag dimensions or fold style your manufacturer requires, and any text that must appear (sizes, fiber content, care symbols, website, social handle).
  2. I confirm the spec. If you do not yet have dimensions or a fold type, I'll recommend standard sizing that suits your garment and method (woven vs. printed). We lock the spec before any pixels move.
  3. I design the first concept(s). You receive a clear preview mockup showing the label or tag at true proportion, plus a flat with the die-line.
  4. We refine. You mark up what to change, I revise within your plan's revision rounds. We dial in spacing, weight, symbol placement, and color.
  5. I prepare production files. Once approved, I package the vector source, print-ready exports, the die-line, and color references in one tidy folder.
  6. You hand it to your printer or weaver. The files are built to drop into production without back-and-forth.

Why choose this

Small-scale apparel labels are deceptively hard. Type that looks great on a business card disappears when it's woven at a few hundred threads per inch, and a logo with fine gradients simply cannot be reproduced on satin. I design for the manufacturing method, not just for the screen — choosing weights, contrast, and detail that hold up on a loom or a tag press.

I also respect the boring, legally important stuff: care symbols in the right order, fiber percentages that add to 100, country of origin, and size legibility. These are the details that get garments returned or rejected by a buyer when they're wrong, and they're easy to get wrong without experience.

And I keep your files portable. You're not locked into one supplier or one designer. The die-line, the vector, the Pantone notes — they go wherever you manufacture.

Who it's for / use cases

  • Independent fashion designers and emerging labels launching a first collection who need cohesive, professional branding inside the garment.
  • Etsy / handmade sellers (knitwear, baby clothes, hats, bags) who want a woven or printed label to elevate a homemade product into a brand.
  • Print-on-demand and small-batch apparel brands needing neck labels and hang tags that match an existing visual identity.
  • Boutiques and resellers creating private-label or house-brand clothing.
  • Streetwear and merch projects that want a hang tag with personality on the front and clean info on the back.
  • Anyone replacing generic blank tags with something that actually says who they are.

FAQ

Q: Do you manufacture the labels and tags, or just design them? I design the artwork and prepare production-ready files. You take those files to your label weaver, printer, or print shop for the physical manufacturing. I'll set the files up so that hand-off is smooth.

Q: I don't have a logo yet — can you still help? I can adapt and refine an existing mark, or build a simple text-based brand treatment that works at label scale. A full logo design from scratch is best handled as a separate project, but a clean wordmark for your tag is within scope.

Q: What's the difference between woven and printed labels, and which should I pick? Woven labels are made from thread and feel premium and durable — great for necks and seams, but they hold less fine detail. Printed labels (on satin or cotton) reproduce more detail and color and are softer/cheaper, but wear faster. Tell me your garment and budget and I'll recommend the right method, then design specifically for it.

Q: Can you include the laundry care symbols and fiber content? Yes. Care labels with standard wash/dry/iron symbols, fiber percentages, size, and country of origin are part of the Standard and Premium plans, and an add-on to Basic. You provide the actual care requirements; I lay them out correctly.

Q: What file formats will I receive? Layered vector source (AI, EPS, or PDF), high-resolution raster exports (PNG/JPG), a die-line/cut guide, and color callouts. These are what manufacturers expect.

Q: What dimensions or fold type should I use? If you already have a manufacturer spec, send it and I'll match it exactly. If not, I'll suggest standard sizes and fold styles (end-fold, center-fold, straight-cut, loop) that fit your garment and method.

Q: How many revisions do I get? It depends on the plan: Basic includes 1 round, Standard includes 3, and Premium includes unlimited revisions within the agreed scope. Revisions cover refining the approved direction, not switching to an entirely new concept.

Q: Can you match my existing brand colors? Yes. Share your hex codes, Pantone numbers, or a reference image, and I'll build the design around them and provide color callouts so production stays on-brand.

    The print files were print-ready and my manufacturer accepted them with zero issues. Smooth experience.

    Nice work on the hang tag design, just took a couple of revisions to get the font right but the final files are clean.

    Solid set of printed labels and a hang tag to match. Communication was clear and the mockups helped me decide.

    Got both the printed care labels and matching hang tags and they look so professional on my shirts.

    These hang tags look like they belong on a real boutique line. The folded label design was a nice touch too.

    The hang tag design was decent but the first woven label proof felt a bit too busy, took some back and forth to simplify it.

    Really happy with my new clothing labels, the small text stayed readable and the layout fits my brand perfectly.

    Designed both my neck label and the hang tag and everything matches beautifully. Exactly what a small brand needs.

    I needed custom woven labels for my hoodies and these turned out premium looking. Will be ordering again.

    The woven labels came out exactly how I pictured them, my logo is super crisp even at the tiny size. Couldn't be happier.
