Leather Labels: Design, DIY Ideas & Wunderlabel Inspiration

Leather labels add a touch of quality and character to any product — from handmade accessories to high-end fashion. In this post, you’ll discover how to design and use leather labels, get inspired by creative DIY ideas, and learn more about the premium leather labels from Wunderlabel.

How to Design Your Own Custom Leather Labels and Tags?

Our online design tool will guide you step-by-step to create your perfect personalized leather label. First, choose the right size, material, and color. Then think about what you want to write on your label. Leather "Handmade" tags or "Handmade with Love" tags are always favorites! The color of the design and text is determined by the background color you choose. Your text, logo and symbol will be engraved into the material by a laser machine. The most popular symbols with our customers are hearts, stars or various handmade motifs. You can see the color in the preview. You can then add a logo, QR code, frame and perforation. 

Click through the points below to create your very own name, brand or apparel labels:

Label: You can choose different sizes and materials here.

Text: You have 3 rows of text and a selection of fonts to choose from. 

Symbol: Decide on a suitable symbol.

Upload: You can upload your own image or logo here. Please note that the logo can only be laser engraved as a silhouette.

QR code: Here you can generate a QR code with text or URL.

Frame: In this step you can add an optional frame. 

Extras: Get real or faux leather tags for crochet items with rivets by adding 2 or 4 laser cut holes. This option is equally good for beanie hats or other hard to sew on things. Rivets made of high-quality steel and Chicago screws are also available here.

Add the labels to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout. Before you leave, have a look at our other custom garment labels, ribbon, hang tags and more: Wunderlabel is your one-stop shop for personalized products! 

Faux Leather Labels at Wunderlabel

Faux leather is all the rage! Not only does it look high quality and elegant, but it also contains no animal components. Wunderlabel's faux leather labels are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to work with vegan products and still add a touch of sophistication. You can create your own faux leather labels using our online design tool. Not only can you write any text in a beautiful font, but you can also choose and customize a symbol or logo. Some of our most popular symbols include hearts, stars and various handmade motifs.

The Wunderlabel configurator makes it intuitive to design your imitation leather labels.

Premium faux leather labels come closest to the look of real leather labels because their texture is modeled on real leather labels.

All DIY faux leather labels are made from PU leather and non-woven material. They are durable and have the feel of real leather. They are also washable in cool water up to 86°F (30°C) and available in a range of sizes. The high quality PU (polyurethane) artificial leather is cut using innovative laser technology, making the edges soft and flexible and preventing fraying.

As an alternative to handmade faux leather labels, Wunderlabel also offers real leather labels. These are not machine washable, but they do have a beautiful leather look. Our WunderPap, on the other hand, only develops its interesting leather look after several washes. This label can even be washed in warm water at up to 140°F (60°C) without fear of damage.

Our high quality leather labels are available in both genuine leather and synthetic leather in a variety of natural colors: soft browns, burgundy, forest green or perhaps a warm autumnal orange? There's something for everyone.

For knitting and crocheting enthusiasts, we also offer the option of ordering these labels with two or four holes, making them much easier to attach with yarn. This means you don't have to buy any extra accessories. Our leather labels can also be attached with a sewing machine, metal Chicago screws, leather rivets or snap fasteners.

Best of all, you can fully personalize these labels. We offer a wide range of fonts, symbols, font sizes and the option to upload a logo. There's something for everyone!

Our highlight is the premium faux leather labels that will impress even the most demanding customers.

As you can see, with so many options, the design possibilities are almost endless!
Our latest product - a beautiful alternative to leather labels: WunderPap labels, a paper-like, washable material that develops an interesting leather look through washing and wearing. It looks great with any DIY garment and is washable in warm water up to 140°F (60°C). This material is particularly popular for jeans, as the leather look goes well with denim. But even chunky knit hats, gloves and scarves look much more upmarket and sophisticated with a leather label.

You can let your creativity run wild and use these labels on the inside, on the outside, horizontally or vertically on your creations. There's no right or wrong way. They even look great folded over a cuff, for example on a hat, cap or bag. Handbags in particular are often decorated with them. A smooth black faux leather label, for example, instantly enhances the look of a simple handbag.
