Save Time and Money with Quality Tagging Guns

A distinct feature of any retail store is in how each item is marked and the arrangement of goods. To save time and the costs of labeling soft goods such as clothing a tagging gun is a must-have.

The overall aim of each retail store owner is to keep operational costs to a minimum while adding to the efficiency and appeal of their business. One area which calls for maximum attention as it is the first point of sale contact a store has with a shopper is in the labeling of products. A label contains vital information on a product especially the marked price which instantly determines whether a client is going to take the item or not. To erase any doubts about your credibility and mandate to customer satisfaction maintaining top class labels for all items you stock is a necessity.

If you run a clothing store or a general store that holds items like bed sheets, pillows, or stuffed toys then tagging guns are just the savers you need. Different from results you get when you use safety pins or hand-tied tags, a tagged label instantly brings a professional attraction to any garment it is placed on. Using a tagging gun is also simpler and more economical saving you on the need to retag items from time to time due to regular detaching.

A guide to using tagging guns

1. Always make a tag at the least inconspicuous spot. Tagging guns always leave a small hole where you tag as they use a needle to fasten a label to an item. While making your label visible is a primary marketing objective it does not make sense when it causes any damage to an item. Stick to tagging on areas like the seam or a size tag which are common for most items.
2. The shorter the barb, the better. Longer barbs will make your tab hang low increasing the chances of detachment. Go for tags that will stay closer to the garment and have a lesser chance of them falling off.
3. Do not forget your protective gloves. There is always the unavoidable risk of getting pricked by the tagging gun while you are using it. Maintain safety at all times by wearing protective gloves and maintaining caution when tagging any item.
4. Use double barbs for extra security. Instead of one barb, go for two to make your tag stick firmly in place giving you a guarantee of durability.
5. Tag delicate items using a fine fabric needle. Regular needles can cause damage to fabrics that are not as heavy as denim calling for the use of the small-sized fabric needle.
6. Once you have tagged an item, do not add another tag to another spot. If you have to make a price change simply replace with a the new label while using the same hole you dont have to make a new hole in the clothing. 

There are two basic types of tagging guns standard and fine. A standard tagging gun is mainly used for general purposes such as tagging items made of heavy nylon, sweaters, and jeans. The fine fabric tag on the other hand is primarily used for delicate fabric working to a maximum thickness of ¼”.
