About Damask Woven Labels
The most common type of woven labels are damask woven labels. Damask is made up of polyester yarns, which come in hundreds of colors. Damask can weave fine details and is very soft against the skin.
There are two types of
damask woven labels, 100 denier damask and 50 denier damask (aka high density woven label).
The word denier refers to the size of the thread. So, the 50 denier damask yarn is half the size of the 100 denier damask yarn, and can weave finer detail and has the softest feel. If you are looking for quality labels, but don't need anything too fancy, the 100 denier damask woven labels will suit your needs just fine. This weave is extremely high quality, sturdy, and soft. For high-end, luxury clothing brands that will be worn by infants or kids, or have a lot of smaller lettering and details, the 50 denier damask woven labels will be your best bet. 50 denier high density woven labels have the highest density weave available, displays great details, and are very soft and luxurious.
