Woven & PU Leather Label & Printed Label

When you purchase new clothes, whether it’s a traditional Abaya or a modern outfit, you often notice a small piece of fabric or material stitched inside Woven & PU Leather Label. These are garment labels, and they play a much larger role than most people realize. Labels are not just decorative — they hold valuable information about the brand, fabric, size, care instructions, and pricing. In Dubai and across the Emirates, woven labels, PU leather labels, and printed labels are among the most popular choices for local garment shops and fashion houses.

In this guide, we’ll explore the various types of labels available in the UAE market and how businesses, especially Abaya shops, utilize them to enhance brand value, convey information, and foster stronger customer connections.

What Is a Garment Label?

A garment label is a tag or fabric piece attached to a clothing item that provides specific details like:

• Brand name or company logo
• Size of the garment
• Material composition
• Washing and ironing instructions
• Price
• Special notes (like “100% cotton” or “Made in UAE”)

These labels are essential for building trust with customers and presenting your clothing line professionally in a competitive market like the UAE.

Types of Labels Used in the UAE Garment Industry

1. Woven Labels (Most Popular in Dubai)

Woven labels are made by weaving threads together to create detailed, durable tags. They are ideal for:

• Abaya shops
• Fashion brands
• Uniform manufacturers

Woven labels can include logos, text, or even symbolic instructions, and they are resistant to washing and wear. These are especially popular in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi, where businesses want lasting quality and professional presentations.

Common Woven Label Sizes in the UAE:

• 6 cm x 3 cm
• 5 cm x 2 cm
• 4 cm x 4 cm
• Folded woven labels for the side seam of Abayas

2. PU Leather Labels & Faux Leather Labels

PU (Polyurethane) leather labels are synthetic alternatives to genuine leather, offering a sleek, high-end appearance. They’re perfect for:

• Denim jeans
• Jackets
• Luxury Abayas
• Accessories

These labels are sewn onto the garment — often on the inside collar, sleeves, or outer fabric — and provide a stylish way to showcase your brand identity. They’re available in custom shapes and can include embossed or printed designs.

3. Printed Labels

Printed labels are made using ink and printing techniques (heat transfer or screen printing) on satin, cotton, or other materials. These labels are ideal when:

• You need cost-effective labeling
• High-volume production is involved
• You want colorful and detailed designs

They’re perfect for inner care instructions, material composition, or brand info.
