Detail - Our 3D labels and custom plastic products can achieve detail that embroidery and silk-screening can't. With embroidery, lettering can only go as small as 3/8” high. A lot of times if there is lettering smaller than 3/8”, then they 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 something different that will make them stand out more than their competition.
Recycled Material Available - Offer your customer an eco friendly choice with our recycled PVC product line. Most everything on our website can be made with our once used resin. We used to ship the used resin to a garden hose manufacturer for recycling, bit now we hold onto this material and use it for custom recycled PVC clothing labels, PVC recycled magnets, PVC recycled keychains, PVC recycled coasters, PVC rubber recycled coasters, PVC recycled lapel pins, recycled zipper pulls and more.
Corn Plastic Promotional Products - This new line of organic products will be coming soon in 2010. We will be the first company in the world to offer these in our 3D medium.
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. We have completed projects that have been turned around in a week. (See case histories in the HOW TO USE FLEX section)
Proven Retail Look - Most of the labels on OGIO 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, and then use the same mold to make key chains, hang tags, zipper pulls - with the addition of various attachments. Or the same tooling could be used to make magnets and stickers - by adding magnetic backing material or adhesives.
Durability – Because these labels are molded and not screen printed, they will last a very long time. A lot bags the labels are adhered to are used for outside activities. Embroidered labels will fray and bleach in the sun, and silk-screened printing eventually cracks and peels off.
Turnaround Times - In the USA: Receive samples in one week after artwork sign off and production in two week from sample sign off. Overseas: Receive samples in two to three weeks after artwork sign off and production four to six weeks.
