Customers always ask us the difference between satin woven labels and damask woven labels?
Well, Satin polyester threads weave the background, while regular damask polyester threads are used to weave the text and design on your label.
Damask woven labels are made of 100% polyester threads.The background material whether it be white or black or red or blue it is also covered with that same thread color. This label is soft and durable. For a woven label on satin material the background material is not polyester it is satin. We offer various satin woven labels. The text and/or artwork are woven into the satin material.This label is also soft and durable but the satin material has a sheen to it.
Also, the density are different.Satin woven label is one of salvage woven label, it has glossy surface and salvage edge. It is starched and seems high grad. But The threads for satin woven are a little thick; the surface will have small holes. Damask woven label is one of the computerized woven labels. It is the high quality woven label; the threads are thinnest which can show fine details.
The max threads on one labels are different. For satin labels,the threads are much less than damask woven labels.Damask woven labels can be 8 colors, but satin, we’d better do them at less than 4 colors.
Why choose satin woven labels over damask?
Good question.Both are great and both are durable but if you want a smooth background with a “sheen” to it, then a satin background is the way to go.Satin is priced the exact same as damask, so making the choice can be difficult. Most people who choose satin prefer the look and feel of the satin weave over the damask. If you are making vintage inspired clothing or accessories, satin would be a good fit. It’s also great for infant apparel. If you want a label with lots of color and detail, satin woven labels might not be right for you, as you are limited in background color options.
