They are available in real leather, faux leather and WunderPap. These labels are durable and add a touch of luxury and craftsmanship to your products.

Depending on which type of label you choose, the design process can vary, but listed here are the design and order basics.
SIZE: Choose a label size, shape or fold which fits with your application.
MATERIAL: Each label type has its own options for materials. The label material will be listed in the sidebar of the configurator.
COLOR: Color is important, especially for products like kids labels! That’s why we offer many vibrant colors and patterns to choose from.
TEXT & SYMBOL OR LOGO: Depending on which type of label you are designing, you’ll have the opportunity to upload your file, or use our huge list of symbols and fonts to create your own.

QUANTITY AND SHIPPING: The last step in the process is to choose your quantity and shipment method. Rush orders are also an option.
How to Attach Personalized Tags: Iron-on and Sewing Labels
Depending on your needs and preferences, there are several ways how to attach personalized labels to your products. Labels are typically sewn on, either by hand or with a sewing machine. This method provides a long-lasting and secure attachment that is suitable for all types of textiles, including apparel, bags and accessories.
A more convenient and time-saving option is to iron on labels. They are easily applied to textiles with an iron or a heat press and are often used as name labels for kids. No sewing skills needed!
Leather labels with rivets or screws are ideal for a sturdy and fashionable attachment. This method is ideal for heavy items such as jeans, jackets or bags and gives your products a unique and cool look. Some people also turn them into adhesive labels by attaching a double-sided self adhesive strip to the back. This makes the tags removable, allowing your clothing or fabric to be put in the washing machine and washed at higher temperatures than leather labels can withstand.
Our online configurator allows you to see all the options available for your product and choose the one that suits you best.
Where are Customized Labels Used?
Personalized name labels and custom brand labels are incredibly versatile and offer numerous ways to enhance products, from labeling clothing and accessories to decorating gifts and promotional materials. Here are just a few of the ways you can use our custom labels.
- Clothing: Labels are an essential finishing touch for all clothing items. They highlight the brand, provide care instructions and give the garment a professional finish. Fashion accessories such as bags, scarves and hats can also be enhanced with a well-placed label.
- Handmade products: For items such as knitwear, crochet, bags and jewelry, and decorative items such as wedding favors, personalized tags are a wonderful way to highlight the craftsmanship and add a personal touch to the product. They can include the maker's name or a special message.
