Wood Satin Label for Swimwear — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Wood Satin Label for Swimwear: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Wood Satin Label is the version buyers specify for swimwear when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
Wood gives satin label its strength and surface character. In practice that means the trim behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: tighter tolerance is needed on the finished dimension. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.

Properties that matter in buying

- Colour fastness — tested to AATCC Test Methods on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — cycle life after 20 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — AATCC Test Methods documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.

How to specify it
