Garment Tag for Garment Rental and Laundry Operations

SkyRFID has released an UHF Gen 2 flexible garment tag designed for use in retail, garment rental and laundry operations to improve efficiencies and provide higher inventory accuracy.

This is the second generation of flexible garment tag from the company. The tag has been re-engineered and utilizes a solid copper wire antenna attached to an Alien Higgs2 integrated circuit, which is then encapsulated in a proprietary clear flexible housing.

Designed to withstand the rigors of an industrial laundry facility, including washing, drying and ironing with pressure or steam this tag can handle up to 180°C for up to 1 hour without failing and be read at distances of up to 3 meters (10 feet) when dry.

The tag has been stress tested 10,000 cycles with a compression of 230 N/mm2 (33,000 lbs/in2), and is fully waterproof to 15 meters (49 feet) with a 5 bar pressure (72 psi).

Since the tag is flexible, it does not produce wear marks on the garment around its form factor as hard laundry tags do.
