July 29, 2024 (press release) –

In the fast-paced world of fashion, staying on-trend with jeans can be a challenge. While millennials cherish their beloved skinny jeans, the denim landscape continually evolves with new styles and cuts. Amidst this ever-changing panorama, one constant remains: tagless labels on jean pockets are here to stay. Regardless of brand or design, these tagless labels offer unparalleled comfort, replacing traditional tearaway tags and ensuring a timeless appeal for your favorite pair of jeans.

 

Understanding Tagless Labels

Tagless labels serve as a modern alternative to traditional garment tags, providing the same essential information without the inconvenience of a physical tag. While commonly found in apparel like t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sportswear, tagless labels are now making their mark on jean pockets, revolutionizing the way we perceive denim fashion. Learn more about different tagless applications here: Tagless Apparel.

The Advantages of Tagless Labels on Jeans

The pocket of a pair of jeans serves as an ideal canvas for tagless labels. Crafted from materials like cotton, polyester, or a hybrid blend, jean pockets offer durability and versatility, making them perfect for accommodating tagless labels. Through pad printing—a process similar to that used for t-shirts—tagless labels seamlessly integrate into jean pockets, providing a comfortable and long-lasting solution.

Pad Printing Process and Equipment

Pad printing on jean pockets involves a straightforward process, utilizing specialized equipment such as the B100, Brite, or 2200PS pad printers. These printers, equipped with ink cups and pads, ensure precise and vibrant prints on inside jean pockets. Whether opting for single or dual-color designs, these pad printers offer superior registration and image quality, enhancing the overall appeal of tagless labels on jeans.

Choosing the Right Ink

For optimal results, the SB Eco Series pad printing ink stands out as the preferred choice for tagless applications. Compliant with stringent industry standards, including Oeko-Tex® Eco Passport ZDHC Level 3 Certification and RoHS, this eco-friendly ink delivers superior performance while maintaining soft hands properties—a key factor in ensuring comfort and durability.

The Benefits of Tagless Labels

Tagless labels on jean pockets offer numerous advantages over traditional tags. Firstly, they enhance comfort by eliminating the irritation often caused by physical tags. Secondly, they serve as a branding opportunity, reinforcing brand identity and visibility. Additionally, tagless labels provide valuable information to second or third owners of thrifted or donated jeans, fostering brand recognition and consumer engagement.

Most importantly, tagless pad printed labels are the most cost effective method compared to heat transfer, or sewn-in labels. Enjoy lower costs, time savings, and better quality with tagless labels.

Embrace the Evolution

In a fashion landscape defined by change, tagless labels represent a progressive step towards comfort, style, and sustainability. By embracing this evolution in denim fashion, both brands and consumers alike can enjoy the benefits of tagless labels on jean pockets—a small yet significant revolution in the world of fashion.
