The Process Of Making 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.

Most people prefer embedding logos on a stencil by themselves. In this case, you require a machine known as a laser cutter. This machine embeds texts and images that have been designed using graphics software onto a stencil. Ensure that you seek guidance when working with the graphics software and laser cutters.

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 procedure involves slotting a ribbon over a stencil. The main objective of this procedure is to obtain a shadow copy of the contents of the equipment onto the ribbon. You require a spray paint in this procedure. Make sure that your hand lies directly above the stencil at a distance of about ten inches.

The step should be carried out with caution because a stencil should not have a lot of paint. You should cut off the ribbon carefully by ensuring that it slides without getting into contact with the backside of the stencil. After carrying out this procedure, confirm whether the stencil contains too much spray. You can either clean it or get a new one when it is filled with 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.
