Cotton Quality & Colors
We produce every label in our factory in Germany, on our old-fashioned Jacquard looms. We believe that this is the best way to ensure the finest products for each of our customers.
Quality
Pure Egyptian Cotton
We always puts quality first. Our cotton Clothing labels and our other cotton labels are made from high-quality cotton threads and subject to constant monitoring.
We use only the highest-quality raw materials that have been certified in accordance with the OEKO-TEX® 100 standard* and our cotton threads are made of 100% long staple Egyptian cotton. Egyptian cotton has prevailed as the finest cotton in the world.
While most cotton is mechanically collected, Egyptian cotton is still hand picked, which guarantees the highest level of purity. Clothing Labels made of Egyptian cotton are softer, finer and last longer for the following reasons:
- The length of the fibre allows for the finest of yarns without sacrificing the strength of the yarn.
- It’s ability to absorb liquids gives the fabrics made of Egyptian cotton deeper, brighter and more resistant colors.
- The strength of the fibre makes the fabrics more durable and resistants to stress. This leads to an increase in softness with every wash.

Iron-on
Iron-on Clothing Labels
Our Easy Label and Logo Labels, include the option for iron-on backing to easily iron the labels into your items. The process is super easy and it will last for many many years. We’ll also add extra space (0,8 mm | 0,032 inc) around the edge of the iron-on label so you have the option to fold and sew the label onto your clothing without interfering with your design.
Extra space
Sew in Clothing Labels
Since all our cotton labels are made of 100% pure Egyptian cotton, the ends of our woven clothing label cannot be hot sealed.
Our woven clothing labels should always be folded below to sew them into place to ensure they do not make flush. We will automatically add 0,8 mm edge to both sides. You don’t need to worry about it.
Wash
Wash & boil-proof
Our white and black label colors are boil-proof and the same goes for our red, blue, black and green text color according to DIN EN ISO 3758.
All other labels and text colors are wash-proof up to 60°C in accordance with DIN 54000ff. But our experience shows that even temperatures of 95°C have no effect on the colors.
