Why would your customer choose PVC labeling over embroidery and silk-screening?

Detail - Our 3D labels can achieve detail that embroidery and silk-screening can't. With embroidery, lettering can only go as small as 3/8”. A lot of times if there is lettering smaller than 3/8”, then we compromise by making the embroidered label bigger to keep the proportions correct. If there is too much detail, it is usually simplified to fit the process.

Point of Differentiation – Our 3D labels give whatever you brand a different look. Our customers are always looking for that different look that will make them stand out more than their competition.

Made in the USA - Although we have vendors overseas, most of our labels are made right here in the USA. This gives us the advantage when your customer needs a project completed with a very short lead-time. There have been projects that have been turned around in a week. (See case histories)

Proven Retail Look – Most of the labels on Ogio's bags are PVC.

Custom Color Matching – We do not charge for matching any Pantone color.

One Mold Many Uses – Your customer can amortize the mold cost by using it for many different items. From one mold they can have labels made for wearables and bags, key chains, hang tags, zipper pulls, magnets and stickers. (See one set-up many uses)

Durability – Because these labels are molded and not screen printed, they will last a long time. A lot of the bags the labels are adhered to are used for outside activities. Embroidered labels will tend to fray and silk-screened labels will eventually crack and rub off.
