At Maxso Sports, we engineer high-density woven neck and hem labels tailored for luxury streetwear, high-performance athletic apparel, and private label collections. By utilizing high-definition air-jet jacquard looms, 50-denier micro-polyester yarns, and scratch-free ultrasonic slitting, our factory provides apparel brand managers and sourcing directors with high-gain, color-fast, and skin-friendly branding solutions. From center-fold neck labels to Manhattan-fold bottom hem tags, we deliver complete trim packages directly from our Sialkot manufacturing hub to buyers across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
Modern apparel buyers demand tactile luxury without sacrificing wearer comfort. Our engineering team recommends specific weave densities, yarn types, and fold configurations depending on the garment placement and washing requirement.

Inquire NowAs global apparel brands pivot toward intelligent supply chains and heightened consumer focus on tactile comfort, woven neck and hem label manufacturing is undergoing significant technical evolution.
Comfort TechTraditional 100D or 75D yarn weaves often leave rough heat-sealed edges that trigger consumer complaints regarding itchiness. The industry benchmark has rapidly shifted toward 50-denier ultra-fine micro-yarns combined with ultrasonic slitting technology. Ultrasonic cutting vibrates at 20,000 Hz, melting synthetic fibers into a soft, smooth border that eliminates skin abrasion entirely.
Streetwear TrendContemporary streetwear and luxury activewear brands are moving away from oversized chest logos, preferring subtle exterior identity anchors. High-density woven hem tags placed on shirt bottoms, hood edges, or sleeve cuffs provide high-perceived brand value. Loop folds and Manhattan folds (where top/bottom seam allowances are tucked inside) ensure the hem label lays completely flat during wear.
SustainabilityWith regulatory frameworks like the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) taking effect, global buyers now require certified recycled polyester yarns. Recycled woven labels crafted from post-consumer PET bottles achieve identical tensile strength, colorfastness, and weave crispness while reducing chemical usage and carbon footprints across the supply chain.
Understanding the engineering behind broadloom weaving, denier selection, and cut-and-fold technology enables apparel sourcing teams to write accurate tech packs and prevent costly sample revisions.
Modern woven label manufacturing utilizes computerized air-jet Jacquard looms capable of over 1,000 picks per minute. This allows high-density Damask weaves where the pick density reaches up to 54 picks per centimeter, capturing delicate typography, gradients, and micro-artwork clearly.
Proper folding mechanics ensure efficient garment assembly. Whether specifying a 7mm seam allowance for center-fold neck tags or a 10mm top/bottom fold for Manhattan hem labels, precise thermal ironing guarantees structural stability during automated sewing.
Woven labels undergo rigorous washing, dyeing, and thermal drying tests. Yarns are pressure-dyed under high temperature (130°C) to achieve a Grade 4.5 colorfastness rating against laundry detergents, sweat exposure, and friction testing.
Operating directly out of the world-renowned textile and sportswear cluster on Defence Road, Sialkot, Maxso Sports integrates trim weaving directly into garment cut-and-sew lines for total quality control.
Unlike trading vendors who outsource labels to third-party factories, we maintain direct oversight over yarn sourcing, weaving, folding, and sewing integration. This prevents miscommunication regarding label placement, size tab alignment, and seam clearance.
We empower growing clothing lines, sports clubs, and established private label distributors with flexible minimum order quantities starting at just 100 pieces per label design. Pre-production physical samples are delivered within 3–5 business days.
Our dedicated export department handles complete export documentation including Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Origin, and Air/Sea freight coordination to major ports in North America, Europe, Australia, and the UK.

Damask is the highest quality weave structure, utilizing fine polyester threads (typically 50D or 75D) woven tightly to achieve high detail clarity, a soft feel, and superior durability. Satin woven labels feature a shiny, smooth surface woven with a luster warp thread, offering a luxury silk-like texture ideal for formalwear and delicate necklines. Taffeta is a lighter, lower-density weave best suited for care/content tags where fine graphic detail is not required. Maxso Sports recommends High-Density Damask for all premium neck and hem label applications.
For neck labels, the most popular styles are Center Fold (sewn directly into the collar seam with care/size details inside the fold) and End Fold (left and right edges folded inward and top-stitched flat onto the inner back yoke). For hem tags, a Loop Fold or Manhattan Fold is standard. Manhattan fold tucks the top and bottom raw edges inside before folding in half, ensuring zero visible raw edges when wrapped around the bottom hem, sleeve cuff, or beanie edge.
Conventional hot-knife cutting uses a heated blade that melts synthetic polyester edges into hard, glass-like plastic beads, which scratch the wearer's neck. Ultrasonic cutting uses high-frequency acoustic vibrations (20 kHz) to split the woven ribbon. This friction process seals the thread ends simultaneously while creating an extremely soft, feathered border that remains completely non-irritating against sensitive skin.
We require vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator (.AI), PDF, or EPS format with all typography converted to outlines. Colors must be specified using Pantone Solid Coated (PMS) or Pantone TPX/TCX textile reference codes. Because jacquard weaving uses physical yarn threads rather than ink printing, our design studio matches your Pantone targets to our inventory of high-tenacity yarn spools or custom-dyes threads for volume orders.
Our minimum order quantity starts at 100 pieces per design for sampling and short-run production, while bulk orders typically range from 1,000 to 50,000+ pieces for maximum unit-cost savings. Sampling takes 3–5 days, and full bulk production is completed within 7–10 working days upon sample approval. Express global courier shipping (DHL/FedEx) takes 3–5 days to reach North America, Europe, and Australia.
Yes. Our woven neck and hem labels are constructed from 100% thermoset polyester threads that are resistant to bleach, enzyme stone-washing, acid washing, and garment dye processes. They are tested to retain color and structural integrity through 50+ commercial wash cycles at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F) and standard tumble drying.
Absolutely. As a full-service cut-and-sew factory in Sialkot, we manufacture both the apparel (tracksuits, football kits, hoodies, polos) and the trims in-house. Our sewing lines incorporate your woven neck labels, care tags, and hem labels during primary garment assembly, ensuring clean seams and correct orientation without third-party relabeling handling costs.
