A label weaving machine is two machines priced as one, a narrow loom and the jacquard head that makes the pattern, and label looms are sold new, reconditioned or rebuilt with a new head, so the quote must say which part is which age.
01
Hook count decides how detailed a label can be across its width. Ask the hook count and whether the head is new.
Listings include older rapier looms rebuilt with a new jacquard head. Ask the loom's year, hours and what was replaced.
Rapier jacquard looms weave detailed damask labels. Needle looms weave tapes and simple labels faster. They are different tools.
Weft colours per label and total weaving width set how many labels weave side by side.
Ask what file format the head reads and whether the design software licence is included.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Weave your most detailed label from your own design file. | Text legible at your smallest size and colours matching the approved sample. |
| Run a counted batch and inspect for broken ends and missed picks. | Faulty labels at or below the agreed count per thousand. |

A label printing machine on satin or nylon tape; weaving is the wrong process.
A label weaving service. A loom needs steady volume and a designer who can program it.
05
We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
06
Every machine we source in this area is on the Textile & garment page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
Straight answers
Compare the jacquard head, the loom's age and service access. Rebuilt looms with new heads appear in listings; judge the parts and hours, not the origin.
Where rebuilt looms come from, what is replaced, a head test on your design, and spares stock.
