Green Options

Last week I posted 5 ways to make your own fabric labels which is great if you just need a few labels.  If you are a serious crafter or small manufacturer and need a larger quantity of labels, you may need to order custom fabric labels.  A quantity of 1000 is the typical minimum order for custom labels.  The eco-friendly options are increasing rapidly and currently include materials like organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, coconut, and mother of pearl.

Whether you craft for gifts, to sell at craft fairs, or run a small business, a beautiful fabric label can add the perfect finishing touch.  Fabric labels are important for brand recognition and often the only way to identify who made the product.  You should proudly display your name or logo on all products you make.

It is amazingly easy to make a small run of your own fabric labels.  I have found 5 great tutorials for making fabric labels.  A few material substitutions and any of these tutorials can help you make eco-friendly fabric labels.  With each tutorial I will give material recommendations and tips for making them greener.
