Tracy Joy of Tracy Joy Bags and Prop Insanity says…..Hey Vendors, make YOUR products stand out | Personalized Labels, they are more important than you think…

HEY VENDORS!
Obviously, we get in touch with a lot of products and goodies along the glorious way of Prop Insanity and our prop features. And the one thing I will suggest to my vendors over and over again is… LABEL YOUR PROPS! And for good reason too peeps…

Tracy Joy Custom Clothing Label

1) This makes your product look above and beyond professional, with a finishing touch
2) It reminds your customers WHO they got that darling prop from…
3) Others who see your prop (like those mommies whose baby is wearing your prop during a photo shoot), will see the label and wanna gobble up their own.. in turn, getting YOU more sales.

Custom Woven Clothing Labels

Labeling is so important, and easily over looked. I don’t know how many sweet little props I have in my stash, but cant remember for the life of me what shop it came from. Maybe I got it last year (maybe last month), and I want another goodie, but cant remember who made it… JINKIES!!! What to do, what to do….???

If you want some really primo custom labels, I suggest checking out Thirty Seven West. They not only have the highest quality labels I have seen (and I’ve bought a few along the way!), but they have FABULOUS customer service, which I appreciate even more. I myself use Thirty Seven West to label every single one of my own bags (The JOY Bag Collection), and I”ve never been disappointed. Ive been ordering custom labels from them for the past 5 years :)

You put so much love, time, and creativity into your product, why not do that last finishing touch and EXCLAIM TO THE WORLD where it came from. Just a tiny reminder, a little added “push” and YO HOO… plus, they are just so dang cute!  There is no reason to NOT label your products, and the small expense it may cost is more than worth it.   Take pride in your work… LABEL IT PEEPS!

Etsy also has a great assortment of labels as well, so check out their assortment (just check where they come from, some are over seas and may take a while to receive). I myself, like stated before… LOVE the work from Thirty Seven West and would recommend them 1,000x over and over.

Step 1:
Design your labels. You can use any photo editing program, Photoshop, Picnik, Paint Shop Pro, etc.
Make sure the image is not bigger than the ribbon.

 Step 2:
Flip your image horizontally so your wording won’t be backwards when you transfer the image to the ribbon.
You can flip the image in the photo editing program.

If you don’t flip the image before printing the image will be backwards on the ribbon once it is ironed on.

Step 3:
Print your image on the Iron on Transfer Paper.
Print as many as you can on one piece of paper so you don’t waste the paper.

 Step 4:
Cut out the decal.
Cut as close to the image as you can so the transfer paper does not show as much.
Iron image half way down on a 3″ piece of ribbon.
You can also fold the ribbon in half and iron the image on following the bottom seam.
Be sure to leave enough room at the top to sew the label into your clothes.
When ironing, press down hard.
Make sure you don’t peel back paper backing once it has cooled.

Step 5:
Sew label into clothing, or any product you made the labels for.

I hope this tutorial helps you learn how to make inexpensive printed labels if you are on a budget, just starting out in business, or just sew for fun and don’t need a large amount of labels.

Linda Bryan, Owner of Thirty Seven West

When I was a little girl, my father was one of the largest suppliers of notions in the USA, Notions Unlimited. I have wonderful memories of walking through the vast warehouse for hours while he worked and rummaging through all the really cool sewing notions for hours and, of course, taking some home just because they were just so neat. An absolute sewers haven. Can you imagine!? Read the rest of this entry »
