Laundry tag buyer questions
Before you order.
Model sheets reviewed September 9, 2026.
How many wash cycles can these RFID laundry tags withstand?+
The eight linked model sheets list 200 cycles for each stated exposure: washing at 90°C for 15 minutes, pre-drying at 180°C for 30 minutes, ironing at 180°C for 10 seconds, and sterilization exposure at 135°C for 20 minutes. These are supplier datasheet statements. They do not establish the result of 200 complete cycles through your combined process. Agree chemistry, mechanical loads, attachment and reading acceptance criteria for a representative pilot.
Which textile laundry tags have a 60 bar pressure specification?+
The LDT301-5512S, LDT301-7015S and LDT7010 datasheets list 60 bar. The other five linked sheets do not state that pressure rating. Confirm how the tag will be loaded during extraction and request the applicable test conditions. The 0.6–0.8 MPa used in heat sealing is an installation setting and should not be treated as an extraction-pressure rating.
Can I heat-seal every model, and is 210°C a working temperature?+
No. LDT301-7015H and LDT301-8030H specify heat sealing at approximately 210°C, 0.6–0.8 MPa and less than 18 seconds. LDT7010 gives a separate instruction: under 215°C, 18 seconds and 0.6–0.8 MPa. The other five sheets specify sewing, pouch or hem insertion. These press settings are attachment instructions; approve the tag, backing and textile together on the actual press.
Will the quoted read range translate to a full cart of wet linen?+
A distance measured with one tag does not establish complete-cart read performance. Water, folded tags, metal carts, antenna layout, reader power, motion and the available read window can change the result. Test known item counts in representative wet and dry loads, record missed and unintended reads, and repeat after the agreed process exposure.
Can a phone read these tags using NFC?+
These are UHF EPC Gen2 tags. A phone’s built-in NFC reader works with supported 13.56 MHz NFC tags and does not read this UHF tag family. A mobile workflow needs an appropriate UHF accessory and compatible software, or a separately specified NFC product.
What does the OEKO-TEX certificate cover?+
Certificate 23.HCN.97349 identifies a UHF laundry tag construction using white polyester woven laminated fabric, conductive yarn and white polyester sewing thread, under Product Class II. Match the ordered article to that scope and verify current status with the issuer. STANDARD 100 concerns harmful-substance testing; it does not establish wash-cycle life, sterilization efficacy or coverage of every model, color or adhesive variant.
Can you encode the tags for our laundry software?+
Specify the exact chip, EPC length, numbering rules, lock requirements and output-file fields. Keep the factory TID separate from the writable EPC and any printed number. Read back the encoded samples and import the mapping into your software before batch approval. If a proposed substitute chip has different memory, approve the revised data format and RF performance first.
What are the MOQ, sample costs and production lead time?+
The standard tags-and-labels MOQ baseline is 1,000 pieces. Confirm the minimum for your selected model, chip, attachment and encoding in the quotation. Evaluation samples and pilot quantities are discussed separately under the sample policy. Ask for sample charges, freight, unit pricing, quote validity and the production schedule for the approved quantity; transit time is separate from production.
