Chenille Patches

Custom high-quality chenille patches, sewn on or applied with a heat press. Celebrated for their thickness and plush texture, they're a favorite for varsity letterman jackets and athletic and school spirit, for everyone from high fashion and varsity athletes to musicians and fine arts. Our Los Angeles headquarters works with you from start to finish on a result you can be proud of.

Woven & Printed Labels

Custom woven labels give your printed and embroidered garments a professionally branded look, with a variety of labeling methods to suit your situation.

Label prints add extra value and a creative way to promote your brand. When we remove the existing label, we can re-label inside the neck with your own design (your logo, website, care/wash instructions, country of origin, or any text you like) printed in any one color.

Embroidered Patches

Custom embroidered and woven patches, sewn on or applied with a heat press. Woven patches show intricate designs on a lightweight backing; embroidered patches suit simpler designs for a sturdy, durable finish. Our Los Angeles headquarters handles every application, with low minimums on every project, and works closely with you throughout.

Garment label cut out with a straight cut

Straight Cut Label Removal

The cheapest, most economical way to remove a label. Our finishing department cuts the label out of the neck and pulls as much thread from between the seams as possible, leaving you free to sew in your own custom label, or screen print or heat transfer your label instead.

Neck seam un-sewn for premium label removal

Premium Label Removal Services

Almost twice the price of a straight cut, but it leaves no imperfections. We un-sew the neck seam and remove the existing label entirely, then sew it shut or insert your own label, so the garment looks cut & sewn custom for you. Our recommendation for higher-end boutiques and steeper price points: no trace that the garment was made by someone else or started as a blank.

Professional Fold + Poly Bag

Our in-house finishing department has trained staff to professionally fold and bag your garments. Bags can be customized; we use a 1 mil flat poly bag that can be air sealed or taped shut.

Add a size sticker to the outside of each garment or poly bag so sizes are easy to identify. Packages come separated by size, but many retailers and fulfillment centers require these stickers.

Premium Pinned Hang Tags

Price tickets and hang tags attached securely with a pin, in a wide range of sizes, colors and finishes, raise your garment's perceived quality and appeal. Cohesive packaging and presentation elevate your brand, and the tags give customers essential product information for a better shopping experience.

Tagging Gun Hang Tags

An efficient, economical way to attach hang tags and price tickets with a plastic tagging gun. Our team places tags in available seams to prevent damage and make removal easy, a polished presentation that leaves a lasting impression.

Step 01

Decorate your product(s)

Start with a decoration order (print or embroidery), then choose the finishing you want: labels, hang tags, patches, relabeling, or packaging.

Step 02

Pick your finishing

Send your label and tag details and any special instructions. We add custom labels, tags, and patches, relabel if needed, and you approve a proof before we finish.

Step 03

Ship retail-ready

We fold, poly-bag, size-sticker, and (when you need it) fulfill A-Z, so your merch arrives looking like a real retail brand.

Not sure what finishing you need?

Labels and tags for branding, patches for flair, fold-and-bag for retail, fulfillment to ship it. Your rep will recommend the right mix and triple-check every order.

Finishing Services: Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Haven't found what you are looking for? Email or contact us and we'd be happy to assist.

Does DTLA Print offer drop shipping?

Because DTLA Print focuses on bulk ordering, we do not offer drop shipping. We do offer A-Z fulfillment services which is similar but customer orders must be placed before we produce the merch.

What is the difference between drop shipping and fulfillment?

With drop shipping every time an order is placed the garment is produced and then sent to the customer. Fulfillment orders are all produced at one time and then send individually packaged shipments directly to your customers.

Is fulfillment a good option for new brands?

Fulfillment is a great option for a brand just starting out. If you don't yet have warehouse space or the manpower to individually pack or ship your custom merch. DTLA Print acts as a team of project managers and assistant to help get your product produced and to clients on time.

Are fulfillment services available to all clients?

Right now we take fulfillment orders on a case by case basis. If you want to learn more reach out to one of our account reps!

Can I get my garment relabeled?

Although we do offer a wide range of services we focus on producing custom merch. If youre interested in relabeling the garment must be customized in some manner.

Can I just order hang tags?

Because we are a custom merch company, we cannot produce hang tags for garments we did not customize in some manner.
