ClearType Regular Dry Cleaning Piece Tags for Garment Identification
Dry cleaning piece tags
ClearType dry cleaning piece tags are professional garment identification tags designed for dry cleaners and commercial laundries using piece system organization. Manufactured in the USA from high-grade wet-strength paper, these pre-numbered tags feature ClearType technology that embeds ink onto special fiber paper, producing bright, bold, easy-to-read numbers that withstand all dry cleaning processes and remain legible after multiple cleanings. Pre-numbered from 000 to 999 on perforated strips for easy tearing without ripping, ClearType piece tags prevent mis-sorts and simplify garment organization. Available in multiple vibrant colors to distinguish days of the week, stores, or delivery routes, these 1 inch by 1 7/8 inch tags are supplied 1,000 per box and require pinning, stapling, or fastening to garments. Supplied in South Africa by Unicorp for professional dry cleaning and commercial laundry piece system operations.
Bright, bold numbers with ClearType technology for easy reading and reduced mis-sorts
ClearType piece tags solve a critical dry cleaning challenge: maintaining legible garment identification throughout the cleaning process. The proprietary ClearType print process embeds ink onto special fiber paper rather than printing on the surface, creating exceptionally durable numbers that resist fading, smearing, or washing away during dry cleaning or wet cleaning processes. Even after multiple cleanings, the numbers remain bright, bold, and easy to read, significantly reducing mis-sorts that can lead to customer service issues and operational inefficiency. The high-grade wet-strength paper construction withstands exposure to moisture, solvents, and heat during cleaning cycles without tearing or disintegrating. Convenient perforations allow operators to tear tags easily along the line without ripping, maintaining clean edges and professional appearance. The piece system organization simplifies garment tracking, with each garment receiving a numbered tag that stays with the item throughout the cleaning and finishing process until return to the customer.

Piece System Organization
ClearType piece tags work with piece system garment organization. When a customer order arrives, each individual garment receives a numbered tag from a sequential strip (for example, customer order might use tags 100, 101, 102, 103 for four garments). The tags stay with each garment throughout cleaning and finishing, allowing staff to identify which pieces belong together for assembly before customer pickup. This system prevents mis-sorting of garments from different customers and simplifies the organization of multi-garment orders.

FAQs
The piece system is a garment organization method where each individual garment receives a numbered tag. For example, a customer order with five items might receive tags numbered 100 through 104. These tags stay with each garment throughout the cleaning process, allowing staff to identify which pieces belong together when assembling orders for customer pickup. This system is simpler than batch systems for small operations and reduces mis-sorting of garments from different customers.
Standard printed tags use surface printing where ink sits on top of the paper and can wear away during cleaning. ClearType technology embeds the ink into special fiber paper during the printing process, creating numbers that become part of the paper structure rather than sitting on the surface. This makes the numbers exceptionally durable and resistant to fading, smearing, or washing away, even after multiple dry cleaning or wet cleaning cycles. The result is consistently legible numbers that reduce mis-sorts throughout the garment lifecycle.
ClearType piece tags require mechanical attachment to garments. Common methods include safety pins (through a seam or care label), tag attacher guns (plastic fasteners), or stapling through reinforced areas. The attachment method should be secure enough to keep the tag with the garment throughout cleaning but easy to remove before returning the garment to the customer. Many dry cleaners attach tags through existing care labels to avoid creating holes in customer garments.
Different colors allow visual organization and quick identification without reading numbers. Common uses include assigning different colors to different days of the week (Monday orders get blue tags, Tuesday gets yellow, etc.), distinguishing between multiple store locations, separating delivery routes, or identifying different service types (standard cleaning versus express service). This color coding allows staff to sort and organize orders visually, improving efficiency and reducing errors.
Each box contains 1,000 pre-numbered tags (000 to 999). The number of garments you can tag depends on your numbering system. If you use sequential numbering for each customer order, a box can handle anywhere from 200 orders (if averaging 5 garments per order) to 500 orders (if averaging 2 garments per order). Most dry cleaners order multiple boxes in different colors to maintain adequate inventory for their piece system operations.
