Recycled Polyester Woven Labels

High quality recycled polyester woven labels manufactured with yarn and warp obtained from 100% recycled sources: PET bottles, industrial polyester waste, even clothing. The final appearance is the same as a regular woven label, with the same high strength, durability and versatility of traditional polyester — at a much lower environmental impact.

Organic Cotton Labels

Grown without toxic pesticides, our 100% organic cotton yarns are dyed or printed with pigments free of harmful chemicals. Organic cotton labels are soft and comfortable and cause less skin irritation thanks to a very smooth surface and chemical-free material that prevents allergic reactions — ideal for baby and children’s clothing.

The things buyers ask first

Do all of your factories use the same type of machines and are the quality and products the same across countries?
