Clothing label fold types refer to the various ways in which labels are folded and attached to garments. These folds serve functional and aesthetic purposes, ensuring that labels are securely attached while also being easily readable and visually appealing. Here are some common clothing label fold types:
-
End Fold: In an end fold, the label is folded in half, with both ends tucked inside the fold. This creates a clean, finished look and allows the label to be easily attached to the garment by stitching along the open edge.
-
Center Fold: A center fold involves folding the label in half lengthwise, creating a crease down the center. This fold type is often used for woven labels and allows for easy attachment to the garment by stitching along the open edges.
-
Manhattan Fold: Also known as a loop fold, the Manhattan fold involves folding the label in half lengthwise and then folding the ends back toward the center, creating a loop at one end. This fold type is commonly used for care labels and allows the label to be easily attached to the garment by stitching through the loop.
-
Freeform: Known as freeform or free shape, this type of label can be any shape you require.
-
Hanger Loop / Mitre Fold: A mitre fold involves folding the label at an angle, creating a pointed or V-shaped end. This fold type is often used for decorative labels or labels that need to be easily visible when attached to the garment.
- No Fold: These labels don't have any folds at all and can be applied via stitching or heat transfer to any flat part of a garment.
