Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of manufacturing at least one label comprising the steps:
providing at least one yarn to create at least one fabric wherein the at least one yarn includes a recycled fiber, a recyclable fiber, and organic fiber, a biodegradable fiber, and/or a fiber that has been derived from natural or synthetic fibers and wherein at least one of the fibers is a high filament count material with the high filament count being in the range of 72 to 144 filaments and wherein the at least one yarn includes microfibers and nanofiber that are formed by weaving together warps and wefts;
creating the fabric with the yarn;
dying the fabric;
and printing on the fabric.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printing is with a soy-based ink, a water-based ink, and/or other ink.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one label is produced in a Jacquard Broad loom.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fiber is in a specific location of the at least one label to ensure a fusing/sealing.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein dying the fabric is in a natural raw white.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one label is constructed in an individual cut single format.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one label is constructed in a continuous roll format.
