Look At The Label

The word label is used in many fields today. We use it for products in markets, to track stock in warehouses, to provide information about products in stores, to be on social media, and even to describe a person.

We would like to tell you about the labels on the textile products. Textile labels are produced with different raw materials such as plastic, fabric, leather, woven, cardboard and paper. Thin and thick papers can be used for paper labels. Thicker labels can also be obtained by sticking two sheets of paper together. There are also different options for textile labels produced with fabric raw materials. By choosing the most suitable fabric for the product to be used, the need is met.

Generally, there are different types of manufactured labels used to provide information about the product, manufacturer, importer, place of production or to inform the consumer about legal warnings and instructions.
