Do you supply reusable product tags?

For a reusable tagging product, you could try using a ball chain which can be fastened and unfastened at will. The ball chains are available in various lengths and supplied in packs of 10. As they are reusable, ball chain product tags are more environmentally friendly than plastic alternatives as long as they are reused.

These ball chain tags are also suitable for attaching samples together, such as samples of fabric, card, acrylic or tile. These can then be attached or hung from shelf edges, racking, gridwall or wire dump bins.

Do you supply permanent product tags?

For a more permanently fixing product tag, we supply security cable ties and Secur-A-Tie fasteners. Secure-A-Ties have a permanent locking mechanism, and must be cut off to be removed.
