We are a family business and proud to be a British manufacturer of woven and printed labels for the fashion, textile and schoowlear industries.
We specialise in weaving and printing garment labels for fashion/textile start-ups, small businesses and established brands at out factory here in Wales.
We also supply nametapes and labels to schoolwear shops and department stores from the traditional sew-in labels to more modern printed Stick 'n Wash labels for the identification of clothing worn at school, nursery, or care homes.
National Weaving was founded in 1987 by Christine Astley and has been weaving labels for over 35 years. The business has been passed down a generation, with Christine's daughter Caroline now at the helm, aided by her husband Jake and daughter Megan, alongside other extended family members and a loyal workforce of weavers, designers, printers, production and customer service assistants.
British made doesn't just mean quality, it also means speed.
Caroline says
'By manufacturing everything in our factory here in the UK, we have full control quality, plus the production time and priority of orders.'
Using recycled yarns and fabrics we specialise in customised garment label runs from 100 to 10,000's labels, enabling start-ups and smaller British brands to source the finishing touches to their products, while having the capacity for the larger orders from established companies, dispatching goods within 5 days from an approved sample.
