The difference between the damask woven label and selvage woven label lies in the production machine, and they belong to the category of fabric woven label. As we all know, different classifications have different production characteristics. Therefore, distinguishing different labels can help customers understand products more deeply and comprehensively.
The mode of production
The selvage woven label is to weave out the required trademark at once according to the width. This process avoids many disadvantages of trimmings, but its output is low. It is characterized by a soft and firm feel. Generally, the color on the label should not exceed four kinds. And it has texture and rich patterns. But it is slow to ship and not in line with the current fast and short production pace. At the same time, it is stiff and the sense of contact with the skin is not good. Like cut-edge woven labels, it also has a flat/satin finish. Generally, it is made of the satin label, but the satin background color is difficult to express, so ironing/dyeing and other processes are often used to solve this problem.
The damask woven label is woven on a special high-speed machine, like a piece of cloth, and then cut into strips according to the width of the label. Because of the heating and melting characteristics of polyester, the yarns will stick to each other when cut, and the edges will not disperse. The burning edge hand of it is a bit hard, and the appearance and feel will be affected to a certain extent. But its output is high, and it can be made up to 12 colors, which can express rich pattern effects.
Woven edge and the color number
Woven edge: the woven edge with fine texture is the selvage woven label. After processing, the edge of the damask woven label will be different from the former.
Color category: That with more than 5 colors is generally the damask woven label.
Another way to discern is to look at the reverse side of the woven label. That with a “little tails” (fold at the tails) is usually the selvage woven label.
