Thermopatch CombiTex and CombiPly Mangle-Resistant Textile Labeling Tape

Thermopatch CombiTex and CombiPly are professional mangle-resistant textile labeling tapes designed for commercial laundries, nursing homes, elderly care facilities, hotels, and flatwork operations requiring durable permanent marking that withstands industrial ironing processes. Thin, flexible, and exceptionally strong, these polyester textile tapes with thermoplastic adhesive resist ironing temperatures up to 195°C and washing up to 95°C, making them ideal for labeling flatwork such as sheets, towels, tablecloths, and residents’ personal wear that undergoes mangling. Available as continuous tape (40mm to 90mm widths) or pre-cut labels in various sizes, with CombiPly featuring an additional self-adhesive layer to prevent curling or shifting during application. Compatible with thermal transfer printers and Make Your Mark design software for custom printing. Supplied in South Africa by Universe Corp for professional textile identification in commercial laundry and institutional care operations.

CombiTex and CombiPly are specifically engineered for flatwork labeling in commercial laundry operations where items undergo high-temperature industrial ironing or mangling processes. The thin polyester textile construction provides flexibility and near-opacity while maintaining exceptional strength and durability. The thermoplastic adhesive penetrates textile fibers and bonds permanently when heat sealed, creating labels that resist temperatures up to 195°C during ironing or mangling, significantly higher than standard textile marking tapes. This makes CombiTex and CombiPly essential for nursing homes and elderly care facilities marking residents’ personal wear, hotels identifying flatwork inventory, and commercial laundries processing sheets, towels, tablecloths, and similar items. CombiPly adds a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with carrier paper backing, allowing labels to be positioned on textiles without curling or shifting before heat sealing. Both products accept thermal transfer printing for custom text, logos, barcodes, or designs using compatible printers and Make Your Mark software.

CombiPly is CombiTex tape with an added pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and carrier paper backing. This self-adhesive construction allows labels to be positioned accurately on textiles without curling or shifting before heat sealing, improving application efficiency and reducing positioning errors. Once positioned, heat sealing creates the same permanent thermoplastic bond as CombiTex. Same ironer resistance (up to 195°C) and wash resistance (up to 95°C) as CombiTex. Available in pre-cut label formats in various sizes. Particularly useful for marking personal wear in nursing homes where accurate label placement is important for professional appearance.
