🏢 About MEI
MEI (Machinery Equipment International) is a known brand (mostly Chinese or Taiwanese origin) that manufactures Jacquard label weaving machines. These machines are widely used in garment accessories factories for producing high-quality woven labels.
They are affordable, durable, and widely used in Asia, especially in Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, and India.
🧷 What It Makes

- ✅ Size Labels (S, M, L, XL)

⚙️ How It Works
1. Design Programming
- Pattern/logo/text is created in label design software.
- The design is transferred to the Jacquard controller.
2. Yarn Feeding
- Uses warp and weft yarns, typically polyester, satin, or taffeta.
- Multicolor weft yarns (up to 8 colors) are fed into the machine.
3. Weaving Process
- The Jacquard head controls individual warp threads.
- Interlocks with weft yarn to form the desired design directly into the fabric.
4. Rolling / Cutting
- Labels are either collected as continuous roll or cut & folded automatically.
- Can be linked with ultrasonic cutting, folding, or laser cutting units.
