A label and related method of manufacture that includes a fabric made of yarn, in either cut individual singles or continuous ribbon format in any length. The yarn includes a fiber that has been recycled, that is recyclable, that is organic, that is biodegradable, and/or that can be derived from a material that is known to be environmentally friendly. The yarn, in one embodiment, may include a fiber defined as “high filament count” material, above the current industry standard of 24 filaments, being in the range of 72 to 96 to 144 filaments or higher per individual yarn, in any denier range of 30 denier to 150 denier thickness, in natural raw white, optical dyed white, or dyed colors. These yarns can be independent of each other.

A tag, label or ticket simulating cork in appearance and method of manufacturing the tag for use in brand identification or embellishment on garments, apparel items and accessories. The invention utilizes Jacquard weaving and printing in order to create patterns which have the appearance of natural cork. The apparel tag, ticket or label can then be readily attached to the wearable article or apparel item by weaving, sewing, heat transfer, bonding or other suitable means.

A method of producing a textile product wherein a functional code pattern is structurally embedded within a textile product as the textile yarns are interlaced to become a textile product is provided. The functional code pattern is embedded within the textile product by programming a textile process machine with conversion factors and mathematical ratios, producing an enlarged code pattern that adheres to the customary rules of public or proprietary barcode formatting. Alternatively, the functional code pattern can be digitally printed onto the textile. The resulting textile product includes a functional and decorative code pattern that is readable by a standard electronic code reading device. Depending upon the type of textile yarn materials used, the code pattern created in or printed on the textile fabric may or may not be visible to the human eye.

A system for colored woven label fabrication includes an image processing device, a yarn coloring mechanism and a weaving machine. The yarn coloring mechanism colors a yarn to be woven into a colored woven label by the weaving machine according to a weaving electronic file generated by the image processing device.

A method, system, and apparatus for a sew free seamless interior woven label application may be shown and described. Weaving fusible thermo-adhesive heat seal yarns may be applied to the fold backs of any woven label through an automated process. The woven labels with the fusible thermo-adhesive heat seal yarns may be affixed to the desired garments through an automated process by applying heat to the woven labels, thereby activating the fusible thermo-adhesive heat seal yarns, causing the woven label to become affixed to the desired garment. Such a method, system and apparatus can make the garment manufacturing process and woven label application process more efficient, eliminate waste, enhance visual appeal of the final garment product, and reduce manufacturing costs, among other advantages.
