STRINGS & SEALS
Custom Strings and Seals for Garment Labelling
The finer details of garment presentation matter. Strings and seals are the components that secure hangtags and swing tickets to clothing and accessories, but their role extends well beyond simple fastening. Chosen thoughtfully, they become a subtle expression of your brand’s values, quality, and aesthetic, the kind of considered detail that discerning retailers and consumers notice.
At Jointak, we supply a comprehensive range of custom strings and seals, manufactured to support both the practical requirements of garment labelling and the presentational standards of modern UK apparel brands.
What Are Garment Strings and Seals?
Strings and seals work together to attach branding elements, such as hangtags and price tickets, securely to finished garments. The string loops through or around the garment, whilst the seal clamps the two ends together to hold everything firmly in place.
Beyond their functional role, these components offer a valuable opportunity to reinforce brand character. Material selection, colour, texture, and finish all contribute to how a product is perceived when on show, displayed in a boutique setting, or when a customer opens a parcel for the first time.
String Materials and Options
We offer a range of string materials to suit different brand identities and end uses:
Cotton – A natural, tactile option well suited to independent labels, sustainable brands, and heritage-inspired collections. Cotton strings offer an understated, organic quality that sits comfortably alongside kraft hangtags and minimal design.
Satin – Smooth and lustrous, satin cord adds a sense of refinement and is frequently chosen for occasion wear, lingerie, and premium fashion lines where a luxurious finish is expected.
Twine – A characterful, robust option with an artisanal quality. Twine works particularly well for outdoor brands, hand-crafted goods, and products positioned around authenticity and provenance.
Polyester – A practical and versatile choice available across a wide spectrum of colours and finishes. Polyester strings offer excellent strength and consistency, making them suitable for high-volume production across a variety of garment categories.
All string options can be specified to your preferred length, thickness, and colour to ensure alignment with your wider brand identity.
Custom Seal Options
Seals serve a dual purpose, securing the string firmly in place whilst also presenting an opportunity for discreet branding. A custom-embossed or printed seal bearing your logo adds a cohesive, considered finish to the overall labelling package.
We offer the following seal types:
Metal seals – Weighty and refined, metal seals convey quality and are a popular choice for premium fashion, accessories, and outerwear brands seeking a distinguished finish.
Plastic seals – Lightweight and adaptable, plastic seals can be produced in an extensive range of colours and are well suited to brands requiring flexibility across a broader product range.
Sustainable seals – For brands with environmental commitments, we offer seals produced from recycled and biodegradable materials, providing a responsible alternative without compromising on appearance or performance.
The Benefits of Custom Strings and Seals
Consistent Brand Presentation
Coordinated strings and seals contribute to a unified, professional labelling scheme that reflects positively on product quality. When every element of your packaging and labelling works together, it reinforces brand credibility at the point of sale and beyond.
Secure and Reliable Fastening
Hangtags need to remain firmly attached throughout transit, warehousing, and display. Our strings and seals are selected and manufactured to withstand the demands of the supply chain without loosening or failing.
Creative and Material Flexibility
With a wide range of materials, colours, finishes, and seal types available, each element can be tailored to reflect your brand’s character, whether that calls for something minimal and understated, or bold and distinctive.

Many UK brands are placing greater emphasis on responsible sourcing across every aspect of their product, including labelling and packaging.
