Clothing labels are small tags or patches attached to garments that provide key information about the product. They typically include details such as the brand name or logo, size, care instructions (such as washing and drying directions), composition, country of origin, and sometimes additional information such as the manufacturer's address or barcode.
Manufacturers, importers, resellers and even individuals in the fashion world rely on them to add a professional touch to their creations.
At Wunderlabel, we understand the value of quality finishing touches. Our selection of clothing labels and clothing name labels offer durability, style and functionality, making them the ideal choice for your projects. Whether you're an aspiring designer, a seasoned manufacturer, or an avid craftsperson, Wunderlabel offers solutions that will enhance your brand and add value to your garments.

Clothing labels may seem like small details, but their impact on products is immense. They are important tools for branding, information dissemination, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and marketing.
Here's why they're essential:
Brand Identity: Powerful tool for brand recognition. They display your logo, name or unique design, helping customers identify and remember your brand in a sea of choices.
Product Information: Provide vital information about the garment, including size, care instructions, fabric composition and country of origin. This ensures that customers can make informed purchasing decisions and care for their garments properly.
Quality Assurance: Sign of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. It instills confidence in the customer by assuring them that the garment meets certain standards of excellence.
Regulatory compliance: Can be used to display regulatory information, such as safety warnings, material content disclosures, and compliance with industry standards. This ensures that the garment meets regulatory requirements and maintains consumer safety.
Marketing Opportunity: Excellent space for additional branding, such as advertising messages, QR codes that link to digital content, or eco-friendly certifications. They serve as a silent but powerful marketing tool that communicates your brand values to customers.
There are different types of clothing labels in the Wunderlabel online shop to help you add a professional finishing touch to your garments.
With Logo: If you have your own logo, our upload feature allows you to easily order tags for clothes with your design. They are available in both woven and printed options, giving you the flexibility and versatility to meet your branding needs.
With Text & Symbol: You can have custom garment labels made without a nor artwork. Simply enter your text - your brand name, a special message, or a slogan - and add one of our symbols in the online design tool. Like the logo variant, these are available in woven and printed options. We even have clothing labels for kids!
Pre-made: For added convenience, we offer pre-designed woven labels for specific purposes. Choose from a variety of options including size tags, country flags, and sewing labels with text such as "100% Cotton" or "One Size Fits All". They are ready to apply, saving you time and effort.

Polyester is known for its versatility and toughness. Its inherent durability ensures that your polyester labels will last even after prolonged use and repeated laundering. Good quality polyester labels and tags can be washed in hot water (up to 194°F / 90°C).
Despite its robust nature, polyester has a soft touch that provides both durability and comfort. This combination makes polyester labels an ideal choice for a wide range of applications including clothing, accessories, home textiles and more.
At Wunderlabel, we take advantage of the exceptional properties of polyester to make our custom woven labels with logo or text. We offer a variety of customization options that are particularly interesting for clothing brands, including folding, taffeta edging, laser-cut mounting holes, and more.
Our polyester tags are made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles. They are also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100a certified, making them not only environmentally friendly, but also safe for baby and child's clothing.
Available as iron-on clothing labels or sew-on
Satin polyester is a prevalent choice for labels due to its widespread availability and versatility.
Its smooth surface provides the perfect canvas for printing, ensuring vivid and long-lasting results. Whether it's a single color print or the full CMYK spectrum, including white on black, satin polyester delivers exceptional print quality.
The edges of printable satin labels are soft and won't fray. They are often used for care instructions inside clothing because they are robust but soft on the skin. Many of Wunderlabel's printed labels are made from satin polyester: Standard and brand labels, as well as care tags are all available.
A natural material that adds a beautiful decorative touch. Printed cotton makes ideal labels for handmade items, and things that do not need to be washed frequently or at high temperatures. Wunderlabel offers single color printing on cotton, either with your logo or text. Our cotton clothing labels have a unique texture and a neutral light beige color. It's important to note that cotton ribbon cannot be heat cut to seal the edges and the cut sides must be folded over before sewing.
Polyurethane is a polymer that is used for stickers and clothing labels because it is durable but lightweight. Our iron on name labels for clothing, particularly popular for daycare and school use, offer a simple and affordable labeling solution. White background with single color print are available, providing clarity and visibility. Wunderlabel's PU iron-on labels look very similar to stick-on clothing labels and also need to be individually peeled off a release paper.
Tyvek is a registered product renowned for its use in personal protective equipment (PPE) and the building trade. These clothing labels are waterproof and tearproof, making them the perfect choice for outdoor clothing and equipment. Our large care labels are available in Tyvek and can be designed with your logo, text, and laundry symbols. Additionally, Tyvek is a great choice for displaying your logo or a text on sportswear, camping equipment, and more.
Made of polyester, imitation cotton offers a budget-friendly alternative to real cotton. With less fraying than real cotton, imitation cotton labels are easier to work with. Despite being polyester-based, imitation cotton labels mimic the look and texture of real cotton. Our imitation cotton tags are fully customizable with artwork, text, symbols, and even QR codes. Enjoy vibrant, full CMYK spectrum prints for a personalized touch.
Genuine leather is a highly prized material known for its timeless beauty that only enhances with age when properly cared for. Leather can be embossed or engraved. Leather labels are durable on the whole but cannot be washed. They are therefore best suited to non-washable clothing items or accessories such as bags and hats. Wunderlabel's genuine leather labels come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes and can be customized with your own design or text. We use laser engraving and cutting techniques to ensure precision and quality.
Faux leather is a popular choice for those seeking an animal-friendly option without compromising on style. High-quality faux leather is indistinguishable from real leather, offering a flexible and durable material for your labels. We offer a wide range of faux leather labels in different colors, finishes, sizes, and shapes, including a premium range for elevated sophistication. Wunderlabel's faux leather labels can be washed in cool water (up to 85°F / 30°C). Just like our the real leather ones, our faux leather labels are meticulously laser engraved and cut. Customizable with your logo or text.
WunderPap is an innovative material exclusive to Wunderlabel that offers a unique blend of paper-like texture with an almost suede-like appearance. Similar to the large patches found on denim jeans, WunderPap labels change texture with each wash, adding character to your products. WunderPap is highly resistant and washable in warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C). Available in a variety of options, WunderPap labels are precision-made using laser technology. Customize your labels with your own design or text.
With DTF transfers, ink is applied directly to a transfer film, allowing designs to be printed seamlessly onto fabric using an iron or heat press. Ideal for a range of garments including T-shirts, shoppers and caps, DTF labels are easy to apply and offer a versatile solution for customizing clothing. Popular for special one-off events such as hen nights or marathons. DTF transfers are often used in place of traditional labels to print sizing and care instructions on the inside neck of T-shirts, providing a comfortable and practical solution. Our DTF iron on labels are suitable for both light and dark backgrounds and can be printed in CMYK + white. Simply upload your design online.
