Tag Printing Onto Garment

[Sh3lby311]

Hi All! My name is Shelby and this is my first post to this forum in hopes to find knowledge on this subject. Im not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I currently own a swimwear line called Leila Swimwear and hand make all of the suits myself. For a while now I have wanted to add tags to my pieces for a more professional look. I want to go the "tagless" route and print my tags right onto my swimwear. I have no experience in this area and cant find the best solution. I think the solution is either screen printing or a purchased heat press label. But how some almost have a shiny foil effect is beyond me! I have attached links below for examples. I would be printing onto a fabric blend of 80% Nylon, 20% Spandex. Thanks for your time I truly appreciate any help!!

I suggest that heat press labels would be the way to go. They are definitely available in gold or silver foil should you want to add a touch of class. Foil might not be transferable in fine enough detail to print compliant labels direct, so you need to check with suppliers regarding their technical ability. Let me know if you need to locate suppliers and I will PM a link or links to you.

You might like to add your name to my list for a preview of my book on labeling and packaging choices designed to help market you private label products. Due out early next year.
