Multi-colour printed labels with full-CMYK brand designs — custom printed apparel labels manufactured in India
Base Materials

Three bases, three finishes.

A short decision aid before you order. Each base prints the same artwork — but the fabric underneath changes how the label feels, washes and costs.

Satin Printed Labels

Pick satin when your label sits at the neck or hem of fashion, lingerie or kidswear and the brand wants a soft, slightly lustrous main label. Holds full-CMYK artwork and fine type sharply. Most popular printed base in our facility.

Cotton Printed Labels

Pick cotton when your story is organic, GOTS, slow-fashion or natural-dye. Matte, breathable, biodegradable — the label reads honest the moment a customer touches it. Pairs naturally with khadi, linen and undyed cotton garments.

Taffeta Printed Labels

Pick taffeta when the label is internal, the run is large and unit cost matters more than hand-feel — care labels, size tabs and inner brand tags inside polyester, denim or workwear. Our lowest per-piece printed base.

Why Printed

Why brands choose printed labels.

Six honest reasons a printed label is the right call instead of woven — at the hub level, before you choose the base.

Unlimited colour count

A weave caps out at 8 thread colours; print has no cap. Gradients, skin-tone photography, multi-shade illustrations — all reproduced exactly as your file.

No setup, no loom block

Print runs straight from your AI / PDF — no weaving programme, no loom queue. 5–8 days even for a 200-piece capsule drop.

Lower per-piece at volume

Printed taffeta starts at ₹0.80 versus ₹1.50+ for woven. Healthy headroom for D2C brands who run thin margins on launch SKUs.

300 DPI photo detail

Hairline serifs, QR codes, batch numbers, founder signatures, micro-text legalese — all hold legibility down to 1.5 mm cap height.

Water-based inks

Our standard ink set is water-based, AZO-free and OEKO-TEX-aligned — kinder to skin, kinder to the wash water that leaves your factory.

Variable data ready

Different size, name, batch or QR on every single label in one run — printing handles personalisation that a loom physically cannot.

How It Works

Four steps from artwork to dispatch. The same person handles you from quote to courier.

Where printed labels shine.

Six places a printed label earns its keep over a woven one. If your brief looks like any of these, you're on the right page.

Size tabs

XS / S / M / L / XL marks for side-seam and neck — typically printed on taffeta in mixed runs of 5,000+, dispatched pre-cut for the sewing line.

Tagless heat-press

The fastest-growing category in 2026 — full brand & care info heat-pressed inside the neck. Zero seam, zero itch, perfect for activewear and seamless tees.

See activewear use cases

Sportswear sublimation

Dye-sublimation prints that fuse permanently into polyester jerseys — survives club-laundry, no peel, no crack. Used by team kit and gym-merch brands.

See sportswear use cases

Care & origin labels

Fibre composition, country of origin, multi-language wash text and brand legalese — printed crisp where weaving the same data would cost three times as much.

Photo & gradient main labels

Founder portraits, watercolour washes, four-colour mascots, photographic mood imagery — the artwork a loom simply cannot reproduce, printed sharp on satin.

Small-batch fashion drops

200–500-piece capsule collections and limited drops where each colourway gets its own label. No weaving setup means new artwork goes from WhatsApp to dispatch inside a week.

Quick rule of thumb: if your logo is photographic, gradient-heavy, or includes a face, go printed. If it's type or a 1–2 colour mark, go woven.

Common Questions

Printed label FAQs.

Six hub-level questions Indian brands ask us before they pick a base. Still stuck? WhatsApp us.

How do I decide between satin, cotton and taffeta?

Three-line rule: if the label is the brand statement at the neck or hem, choose satin. If your story is organic / GOTS / slow-fashion and the label needs to feel natural, choose cotton. If the label is internal (size tab, care, inner brand mark) and unit cost matters most, choose taffeta. Send your sample garment on WhatsApp and we'll recommend.

What's the difference between screen-printed and digital-printed labels?

Screen print uses a separate stencil per colour — vivid, opaque coverage and the lowest unit cost on bulk runs of 2 colours or fewer (think size tabs and single-shade brand marks). Digital print jets ink directly from your file — no stencil, no setup, ideal for full-CMYK artwork, gradients, photographs and small batches under 1,000 pieces. We run both and pick the right method for your artwork on the quote.

Are your inks eco-friendly and water-based?

Yes. Our default ink set is water-based, AZO-free and OEKO-TEX-aligned — no banned aromatic amines, no heavy-metal pigments, and far less solvent in the effluent compared with plastisol. For brands needing additional certification, we can supply OEKO-TEX or GOTS-compatible cotton stock on request; just mention it on your quote.

How small a quantity can I order?

There is no fixed MOQ on printed labels — we'll run from 100 pieces upwards. Sub-100 sample runs are also possible for first-drop testing, with a small fixed setup added to the quote. Most D2C brands start at 200–500 and re-order in 1,000+ lots once they pick a base.

Can printed labels survive industrial laundering?

For home-wash garments, yes — our heat-cured prints hold colour through 50+ regular wash cycles. For commercial / industrial laundering (hospitality, hospitals, hostels with 70 °C+ tunnel washers), we recommend woven labels or a sublimated polyester print — print on satin can fade or wick under chlorine-bleach cycles. Tell us the laundry environment on quote and we'll flag the right call.

Do you offer tagless heat-press labels?

Yes — heat-transfer tagless labels are one of our fastest-growing categories in 2026. They press directly inside the neck or hem with a standard heat press at 160 °C, leaving zero stitched edge or itch. Perfect for activewear, seamless tees, kidswear and intimates. MOQ 100; ships as ready-to-press transfer sheets with your brand & care info in one mark.
