Garment Finishing
If you require garment finishing at retail level, then our garment finishing service is just what you need.
We’re a one stop shop for retail quality production, with everything you could need. We offer everything from custom relabelling, swing tags and bagging, right through to stickers, barcoding & warehousing. Our service is ideal for retailers both big and small.
Swing Tags
Our swing tags are manufactured to the highest quality, and while we have a minimum order of 500+ tags, you’ll be surprised by the great value for money on this quantity. You are not required to use all 500 in one go, and we can in fact apply your tags into as few as 25 products at a time, we’re then happy to store the rest for you until your next order. If you already have your own swing tags and just require the application of these, that’s no problem. These can be printed in gloss and laminate and to your specification.
Folding & Bagging
For a professional finish, we can fold and bag your products. We have a minimum order of just 25+ units for our folding and bagging service, using our standard poly bags. Our standard poly bags are transparent and sealed with an adhesive strip, providing a professional finish. If you already have your own bags and just require us to fold your products and place the products in these, that’s no problem. Bagging does not come as standard, if you require bagging, please let your account manager know.
Stickers & Barcodes
We can supply and apply stickers and barcodes, whether it’s size/product code stickers for bags, or barcodes for swing tags, we can help. We have a range of finishes available, as well as the ability to make bespoke stickers to your size and shape requirements.

LABEL – PACKAGE – SHIP! TAILORED TO YOUR BRAND
From fully customizable garments and apparel to shipping directly to stores we can handle it all. A few of our finishing services include label printing, label sewing, hem tag sewing, hang tag attachments, fold and poly bag services, and shipping directly to the retailers of your choice.
SCREEN PRINTED LABEL
Label prints are a great way to add extra value as well as get creative to promote your brand and business. When we remove the existing label we can re-label the t-shirts with your custom artwork inside the neck label. Popular items to include here are your logo, website, care/wash instructions, country of origin, and of course any artwork or text you would like to add! Can be printed in any one color as well!
2 SIDED SEW
The 2 sided label sew is mostly used for sewing size tabs, care labels, country of origin labels. This can also be used for Main labels over the neck binding as well as under the neck seam. This is the most economical option for the label sew.
HEM TAG SEW
Hem tags are extremely popular in the street, skate, and surf industries as well as emerging in the higher end boutiques. Adding a hem tag helps to prevent counterfeits, adds a little flare, and helps with branding. Popular hem tag locations are sleeve edges, collar, and the bottom of the shirt
4 SIDED SEW
The 4 sided label sew is similar to the 2 sided sew except that we would sew around the entire label. This is slightly more expensive and time consuming as the 2 sided label sew how ever the quality is noticeable. Mainly used for larger main labels and patches
ECONOMICAL PROCEDURE STRAIGHT CUT
The process of removing a label via a straight cut is the cheapest and most economical option. Our finishing department would cut the label out of the neck area and pull as much thread from between the seams as possible. This allows you to either sew in your own custom label or screen print / heat transfer your own label.
TECHNICALLY PERFECT / PREMIUM REMOVAL
This version of the label removal is almost twice as expensive but leaves the garment with no imperfections. Our finishing department would un-sew the seam area and entirely remove the existing label. At this point prior to sewing the neck seam back up, we can either sew it shut, or insert your own label to make the garment look like it was cut & sewn custom completely for you. When working with higher end boutiques and steeper price points this is the option we recommend. Leaves no trace of the product being manufactured by some one else or that you are using blank garments.
INDUSTRY STANDARD / PROFESSIONAL FOLD + POLY BAG
Elite Art Lab has an in house finishing department in its facility with trained individuals to professionally fold and bag your garments. Bags can be provided with customizable options how ever we use a 1 mill flat poly bag which can be air sealed or taped shut.
RETAIL READY TAGS / TAGGING GUN
Attach hang tags + price tickets to your garments with a plastic tagging gun, the quickest and most economical option. Will be placed in one of the seams of the garment (if available) to prevent tears and holes when user removes and pulls out.
UNIQUE STYLED TAGS / PINNED
Attaching price tickets and hang tags with a pin, *comes in various sizes, colors, and finishes* adds a certain level of quality to your overall garment.
FASHION FORWARD / ROLLED SLEEVE CUFFS
