How To Make Clothing Labels At Home

By Charles Lee


Textile companies utilize soft plastic stickers on fabricated clothes for multiple reasons. They use these tags to display the properties and washing guidelines of a cloth fabric. People are advised to read the clothing labels once they have purchased a new cloth. You are also able to make these stickers locally after following certain simple steps. These procedures will work especially when you make and sell handmade items.

You will need a stencil displaying your logo, a spray paint, gloves, ribbon, iron box and some scissors. The first step include giving the equipment a custom cut. There are several laser cutting enterprises out there that specialize in custom stencil cuts. You should choose an enterprise that offers user-friendly stencil cuts. Laser cuts are usually offered both in two and three dimensions. In this case, a two-dimensional cut is suitable.

You can also embed a logo on a stencil yourself when you have a simple laser cutting machine. Before embedding the logo, you will need to design it using graphics design software. This computer program enables you to produce two-dimensional graphics. The designed logo can be embedded on a special paper known as an acrylic leaf.

The next step is time-consuming because it involves the use of spray paints. For safety, you should wear gloves on your hands and face masks to protect delicate parts of the body that can be harmed by paint. Furthermore, painting can take place anywhere as long as there is adequate air supply. The choice of spray paint should be based on your preferences. You should, however, ensure that nozzles of these sprays produce light paint. This measure ensures that paint does not overflow on the stencil.

The next procedure involves slotting a ribbon over a stencil. The main objective of this procedure is to obtain a shadow copy of the contents of the equipment onto the ribbon. You require a spray paint in this procedure. Make sure that your hand lies directly above the stencil at a distance of about ten inches.

The step should be carried out with caution because a stencil should not have a lot of paint. You should cut off the ribbon carefully by ensuring that it slides without getting into contact with the backside of the stencil. After carrying out this procedure, confirm whether the stencil contains too much spray. You can either clean it or get a new one when it is filled with paint.

The ribbon should be allowed to dry for some time once you are done with painting. After drying, cut out the ribbon into diverse lengths by using a pair of scissors. Pieces of the ribbon that are obtained from this procedure can be sewn to obtain nice tags. Furthermore, these pieces are sewed on the edges for the tags to appear more stylish.

Choose a simple sewing machine especially because complicated machines are meant for experienced tailors. The final step is to use an iron box to fold the seam to obtain a custom colored tag. Make sure that you maintain a constant temperature when ironing to prevent the tag from burning.
