Express label design

Production artwork, without the back-and-forth

A label file that looks good on screen is not always a file a loom or press can reproduce. Lines can be too fine for the thread, text too small for a 15 mm tape, or a gradient impossible on a five-colour weave. Our design studio sits next to production in Bulgaria, and its job is to bridge that gap: you send what you have, and we return artwork that is ready to manufacture. A digital proof typically reaches you within 24–48 hours of receiving your files.

The service is part of your label order. You approve the proof, and the same file goes straight to sampling or production – nobody needs to redraw it at a second supplier.

What is included

• Logo vectorising – converting a JPG, PNG, screenshot or hand sketch into clean vector paths suitable for weaving, printing, moulding or engraving.
• Layout for each label type – woven and printed labels, care labels, hang tags, and other items such as silicone, leather or metal labels.
• Technique adaptation – adjusting stroke widths, letter spacing and minimum text height to what the chosen quality can hold; simplifying details where needed.
• Colour matching – translating your brand colours into thread colours or Pantone references, and flagging colour-count limits.
• Size advice – recommending a finished size and fold type that suit the garment and position, with seam allowances shown.
• Care-label text layout – arranging composition, care symbols in the standard sequence, country of origin and multilingual text so it stays legible after washing.

What to send us

• Your logo in any format (vector files such as PDF, AI or SVG save time, but are not required)
• The label type(s) and, if known, the size or garment position
• Colour references, or a photo of an existing label you want to match
• For care labels: fibre composition, care instructions and the languages required
• Quantity per design and the delivery deadline

How it works

1. Brief. You send your files and details through the quote form.
2. Technical check. A designer reviews the artwork against the chosen technique and asks only the questions that change the result.
3. Digital proof. You receive a to-scale proof with dimensions, colours and fold marked, typically within 24–48 hours.
4. Revisions. You send comments; we adjust the file and issue an updated proof.
5. Approval. Once you approve, the artwork is locked and moves to sampling or production.

Revisions

Reasonable rounds of corrections – moving elements, changing text, trying a different colour or size – are part of the process. If you change direction completely, for example a new logo or a different label type, we treat it as a new brief and confirm the timing with you.

From proof to sample to production

A digital proof shows layout and proportions; a physical sample shows how the label actually feels and looks in the chosen material. For new designs we recommend a physical sample before production. After sample approval, production typically takes 10–20 working days, with delivery across Europe – see fast delivery. Minimum quantities are usually 1,000 pcs per design.
