Branding comparison
Digital printing vs Woven labels: Which Is Better for Branding Bags?
Digital printing: artwork is printed directly (or by sublimation) in full colour without screens. Woven labels: a logo label is woven from thread and stitched onto the bag.
Here is how the two methods compare for logo branding on bulk bag orders.
Quick answer
Digital printing suits photographic designs, events and varied designs; woven labels suits private-label and retail bags. Digital printing handles fine detail better, and woven labels is the more durable finish.
