UHF laundry tag launched

Correctly identifying and classifying batches of clothes after washing in an industrial washer; preventing towels and linens from stolen and making sure the same batch of laundry is returned from the washing facilities are all challenges that hospitals, hotels and restaurant chains are facing in managing their high volume laundry.

HK-RFID’s laundry tag is specially designed for applications requiring a rugged transponder that can withstand harsh environment with heat, pressure and chemicals during the washing process. The laundry tag is waterproof, chemical and heat resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees.

The RFID laundry tag comes in two frequencies: high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF), accommodating different project needs. UHF laundry tags offer a longer read range while HF tags are more commonly used. The anti-collision ability for the laundry tag enables reading of up to 50 tags per second.


The RFID laundry tag can be reused for more than 1,000 times and the EMS memory of this tag can be wiped and written for more than 100,000 times. Tags are offered in different sizes with one, two or no hole for affixing to linens or towels by sewing, gluing, or other methods.
