How Clothing Labels Can Be Made Locally

By Charles Lee


Textile companies utilize soft plastic stickers on fabricated clothes for multiple reasons. They use these tags to display the properties and washing guidelines of a cloth fabric. People are advised to read the clothing labels once they have purchased a new cloth. You are also able to make these stickers locally after following certain simple steps. These procedures will work especially when you make and sell handmade items.

You will need a stencil displaying your logo, a spray paint, gloves, ribbon, iron box and some scissors. The first step include giving the equipment a custom cut. There are several laser cutting enterprises out there that specialize in custom stencil cuts. You should choose an enterprise that offers user-friendly stencil cuts. Laser cuts are usually offered both in two and three dimensions. In this case, a two-dimensional cut is suitable.

You can also embed a logo on a stencil yourself when you have a simple laser cutting machine. Before embedding the logo, you will need to design it using graphics design software. This computer program enables you to produce two-dimensional graphics. The designed logo can be embedded on a special paper known as an acrylic leaf.

The step is to spray the paint on the acrylic sheet. It is important to gather the ribbon, scissors, gloves and spray paint during this procedure. Make sure that the spray paint has a working nozzle. Once these materials have been gathered, you can proceed with painting in a well-ventilated room. You can opt to paint outside because of the free flow of air. Test your spray because when it emits heavy spray, the stencil is likely to saturate. A light spray is preferred for this activity.

The next step is to slot a ribbon piece over the stencil. You can spray over the ribbon after putting on gloves to protect your hands. Ensure that your arm moves around and maintains a constant distance when spraying on the stencil. To be precise, the distance between your hand and the equipment should be about fifteen inches. This distance ensures that spraying takes place effectively.

The step should be carried out with caution because a stencil should not have a lot of paint. You should cut off the ribbon carefully by ensuring that it slides without getting into contact with the backside of the stencil. After carrying out this procedure, confirm whether the stencil contains too much spray. You can either clean it or get a new one when it is filled with paint.

The ribbon should be allowed to dry for some time once you are done with painting. After drying, cut out the ribbon into diverse lengths by using a pair of scissors. Pieces of the ribbon that are obtained from this procedure can be sewn to obtain nice tags. Furthermore, these pieces are sewed on the edges for the tags to appear more stylish.

Choose a simple sewing machine especially because complicated machines are meant for experienced tailors. The final step is to use an iron box to fold the seam to obtain a custom colored tag. Make sure that you maintain a constant temperature when ironing to prevent the tag from burning.
