Garment finishing in London: labels, tags, inside neck prints, folding, bagging and packaging, handled alongside your print order.
At 3rd Rail we handle garment finishing alongside your print order. Our services include relabelling, allowing you to create a branded experience from tag to neck. We also do inside neck printing, which replaces the sewn label with a printed one.
For presentation, we offer folding and bagging, with a size sticker on each bag. Additionally, our tagging options add the final touch to your clothing, with various customisations available. See the options below, or ask us what suits your range.
Finishing options
Relabelling and Garment Finishing Options
Inside Neck Printing
Screen printed or transfer
Screen printed or transfers. Sometimes cheaper than neck labels, this is a great way to get branding, sizing and care information onto your garment.
Size Labelling
Label removal
Not ready for custom labels, or not ordering enough per size to meet label minimums? We can sew in generic size tags to replace the manufacturer’s labels or to go alongside your own labels.
Patches and Badges
Woven, leather, rubber
Woven, embroidered, leather, rubber and screen printed. We can source and attach them for you onto garments and accessories.
Hem Labelling
Subtle branding
Usually either woven, embroidered, leather or screen printed, they’re a more subtle option if patches are too invasive.
Swing Tags
Supplied or sourced
The icing on the cake. We can source them for you, or provide your own and we’ll attach them to your garments.
Labels

Choosing a label style
There are several styles in which a label can be attached to the garment. Suitability is determined by the information included as well as the branding. We can sew in labels that you supply yourself or we can supply them for you. We recommend the most common styles, which are the centre fold and loop fold labels. Get in touch to discuss your finishing requirements.
