How To Make Clothing Labels At Home

By Charles Lee


There are special stickers that are embedded on clothes by textile companies. These stickers are usually referred to clothing labels because they contain relevant information about cloth. Most of these stickers usually have a logo of the textile company. Over the years, people have tried to mimic the process used by textile industries to make these stickers. It is possible to make yours once you follow certain simple procedures.

You will need a stencil displaying your logo, a spray paint, gloves, ribbon, iron box and some scissors. The first step include giving the equipment a custom cut. There are several laser cutting enterprises out there that specialize in custom stencil cuts. You should choose an enterprise that offers user-friendly stencil cuts. Laser cuts are usually offered both in two and three dimensions. In this case, a two-dimensional cut is suitable.

Alternatively, you can give a stencil a custom cut yourself especially when you own a laser cutter. You need to use a graphics software to produce a two-dimensional media. Choosing materials for painting the designed tag is important. To be precise, you should choose an acrylic sheet because it works well with colors.

The next step is time-consuming because it involves the use of spray paints. For safety, you should wear gloves on your hands and face masks to protect delicate parts of the body that can be harmed by paint. Furthermore, painting can take place anywhere as long as there is adequate air supply. The choice of spray paint should be based on your preferences. You should, however, ensure that nozzles of these sprays produce light paint. This measure ensures that paint does not overflow on the stencil.

The next step is to slot a ribbon piece over the stencil. You can spray over the ribbon after putting on gloves to protect your hands. Ensure that your arm moves around and maintains a constant distance when spraying on the stencil. To be precise, the distance between your hand and the equipment should be about fifteen inches. This distance ensures that spraying takes place effectively.

You need to exercise caution when carrying out the fifth procedure. To be precise, you need to ensure that the stencil is not fully covered with paint. Another important thing to do is to cut the ribbon slowly making sure that it does not touch the stencil at the back. You can clean the stencil or buy a brand new one when it is covered in paint.

The ribbon needs to dry before it is cut into several pieces. This material contains a shadow copy of the logo that was embedded in a template. You can leave it outside or in a well-lit room to dry. It is also important to ensure that dust does not contaminate this material when drying because this will affect the appearance of the final product.

Choose a simple sewing machine especially because complicated machines are meant for experienced tailors. The final step is to use an iron box to fold the seam to obtain a custom colored tag. Make sure that you maintain a constant temperature when ironing to prevent the tag from burning.
