Please note that as quantity increases, the lower is the per-label price. Lower quantities can be a lot more expensive. Please contact our sales rep for more information. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="How much do woven labels cost?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441579935407-f5772bef-7e3a"] Our woven labels are 100% custom-made to your design. So, the price depends on the size, quantity, colors and your desired turnaround time. Sampling is FREE! We can also expedite your order for an additional charge of $150. This will get your entire woven label production shipped out in 3-4 business days with no sampling. If you require sampling first and also want to expedite sampling, an additional $150 is charged. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can I have different sizes (i.e., XS, S, M, L, XL) in one order that has the same design?" style="arrow" color="turquoise" size="lg" el_id="1441578561006-fc216125-2143"] Yes. We can do size and color splits within your ordering quantity. There is an extra charge for splitting the order up between different sizes and colors and will not be considered a whole new order. However, in heat transfer labels each size would be considered a whole new order, since the artwork need a whole new plate setup. One option is to purchase heat transfers with the logo and buying separate stock size tabs to sew on the seam.  Please talk to one of our sales rep to see how we can accommodate your needs. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Do you sew on the labels, too?" style="simple" color="turquoise" el_id="1441578561098-3dd1e68e-f605"] No. We only provide you with sewing ready labels. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can you make iron-on woven patches?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441581642451-ff7a4220-7009"] Yes. Iron-on or heat adhesive woven patches can be applied to garments with a heat press or iron instead of sewing. Please ask our sales rep to send you samples for testing, since the adhesive works differently with different fabrics. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can you make a woven patch in any shape?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441580133405-f9294c1c-a094"] Yes. There are some shapes that are just not production-friendly, but we would work with you to make your design dreams come true. Please note that for any die cut labels, there is an extra charge. [/vc_toggle][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_toggle title="What is your turnaround time?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441579772383-f03d10e8-f5c8"]

4-6 days business days for samples and production takes 6-9 business days. Sampling is FREE! We can also expedite your order for an additional charge of $150. This will get your entire woven label production in 3-5 business days with no sampling. If you require sampling first, this will add another 3-5 business days onto the lead time.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Is there a set-up cost?" style="round_outline" color="turquoise" el_id="1441578560949-7ef17b55-5f72"] No. If you order with us, we provide free samples of uncut, preproduction labels. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Do you match colors?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441578561127-7ef878f0-ba0e"] We don't guarantee 100% match due to the differences in materials, but we come very very close. The best way is to provide us with Pantone^TM color codes to be matched to your design. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can you put a special backing on the woven patches?" style="simple" color="turquoise" el_id="1441578561036-e87fafd9-2534"] Yes. We can manufacture with a stick adhesive film, iron-on adhesive, felt backing, velcro backing at an extra fee. This type of application might not be feasible for all products, so please ask a sales rep for assistance. [/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Can you make a specific part of my design to stand out?" color="turquoise" el_id="1441580176878-2a862b41-67a1"]

Yes, we can do this by double-weaving the part that needs to stand out. This is charged just like an additional color. And if brightness is important to you, we recommend double weaving the lighter areas in the design. By double weaving, the lighter color has more surface coverage.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="How do I know what kind of fold or finish I need?" el_id="1441581795282-f5836a98-a0db"]The best place to start is by looking at other garments and the folds/finishes you like in those. Next, talk to the person sewing them in. Different folds are priced differently to sew in, so there may be financial considerations to take into account. [/vc_toggle][/vc_column][/vc_row]
