Buying guide

How RFID laundry tags work

A laundry tag is fixed into each towel, sheet or uniform once and stays for the item's working life. UHF tags are read in bulk from several metres, so a laundry can count a whole trolley or bag at sorting, issue and return without handling each piece. The tags here are passive UHF (EPC Gen2) tags; the button tag is also made in HF, and the ID-L3535 adds NFC.

Laundry tag types

Textile tags, sew-in or iron-on

The ID-L range uses NXP UCODE chips and reads up to 8 m, in sew-in and iron-on versions. The fabric laundry tag UFLT-5610 takes 200 °C ironing for 10 seconds, and the fabric laundry tag UFLT-7515 can be laser-marked.

Silicone tags

The silicone laundry tag SLT62 has 512-bit user memory and reads up to 10 m. The smaller silicone tag ID-SLT-5512 is autoclave compatible and non-magnetic for MRI areas.

Nylon and button tags

The nylon fabric tag is rated for 200+ washes at 95 °C. The button tag is a hard IP68 tag that is sewn, riveted or snapped on.

Woven and dual-frequency tags

The woven laundry tag ID-FLT-UFLT is soft and has a loop hole. The UHF + NFC laundry tag ID-L3535 adds NFC to UHF, so staff can check an item with a phone.

How to choose

  • Sew-in or iron-on. Sewing is the usual method for linen and uniforms. Iron-on tags are heat-pressed and skip the sewing step, which helps with a large existing stock.
  • Size to the item. 35 × 15 mm tags suit napkins, pillowcases and collars. Long, narrow tags (50 × 12 or 70 × 10 mm) run along a hem, and larger tags suit sheets and duvet covers.
  • Your wash process. Compare your wash temperature, extraction pressure, chemicals, drying and ironing with each tag's ratings. For linen that is sterilised, look at the ID-SLT-5512 or the SLT62, which is rated for heat sterilisation at 125 °C.

The printable silk-face tag Silk6050 in this list is made for garment and price tags. Its specs give no wash rating, so use the tags above for items that go through the laundry.

Readers to order with your tags

Encode tags and link them to items at a desk with a UHF reader such as the UDR-111, or the 120L desktop reader, which encodes in batches from Excel. For counting trolleys, shelves and linen rooms, use an Android handheld such as the CX1500N. Fixed sorting and issue points use a reader such as the IHZ4 4-port reader with UHF antennas. For system planning, see the RFID laundry and linen management guide.

Frequently asked questions

How many washes does an RFID laundry tag last?
It depends on the tag, so check each spec sheet against your process. The SLT62 is rated for 200 washes or 3 years, whichever comes first. The UFLT-7515 is rated for 200 wash cycles, the ID-SLT-5512 for up to 200 industrial washes, the UFLT-5610 for more than 200, and the nylon and button tags for 200+ washes.
Should I choose sew-in or iron-on tags?
In the ID-L range both read up to 8 m. Sew-in tags are stitched into a hem or seam. Iron-on tags are heat-pressed onto the fabric, which is quicker when you are tagging a large stock of existing linen or uniforms.
Which reader do I need for laundry tags?
Any UHF RFID reader that supports EPC Gen2 in India's 865–868 MHz band, which all the UHF tags here cover. Use a desktop reader for encoding, a handheld for counting and a fixed reader with antennas at sorting points. The HF version of the button tag needs a 13.56 MHz HF reader, and the NFC side of the ID-L3535 can be read with an NFC phone.
Can laundry tags go through sterilisation?
The ID-SLT-5512 silicone tag is listed as autoclave compatible. The SLT62 is rated for heat sterilisation at 125 °C for 15–20 minutes, up to 150 cycles. The other tags in this range do not list a sterilisation rating.
Can the tags be marked or coloured?
The face of the UFLT-7515 can be laser-marked, for example with a serial number. The SLT62 comes in blue, white, black or red, and the UFLT-5610 in white with custom colours available. Mention marking or colour when you request a quote.
