Effective Identification Labelling for the Commercial Laundry Industry
Helping commercial laundries to streamline their production
Commercial laundries are one of the unsung heroes of the hospitality trade – cleaning the towels you leave on the hotel bathroom floor, laundering the duvet covers that end up on the floor at the end of your bed and making the tablecloths that you’ve just spilt your lamb bhuna over clean once again!
But have you ever wondered how they manage keep track of this laundry throughout the entire cleaning process?
Dirty laundry is often gathered up into large bags or into wheeled cages and then sent off to the commercial laundry operator – and the best way to keep track of this is by using labels.
Bluepoint manufacture self-tie (loop-lock) labels which are an ideal way to identify different batches of laundry from different establishments, collected, washed and delivered on different days – helping commercial operations to streamline their production process with durable, cost-effective solutions.
Self-Tie Labels: A Definition
If you use them already, you’ll be well aware of the features and benefits of self-tie, or loop-lock, labels. However, for any one new to this particular strain of industrial label, here’s a brief description:
Simple and convenient, self-tie labels are designed to effortlessly attach to a multitude of items without the need for strings, wires or adhesives. Simply loop the label around your chosen object, thread it through its own cut-out, and the label will securely lock into place. Removal is just as simple and hassle-free.
You’ve likely seen them at your local garden centre attached to a plant stem or tree branch – and they’re equally suited to a range of other industrial applications – especially industrial laundry!
A comprehensive range of self-tie labels
Different commercial laundry operators use tags and labels in different ways to suit their work-flow: some may use a permanent marker to write on plain labels; others will self-print customer information on the labels using a laser or thermal transfer printer; and others choose to use a range of pre-coloured tags to signify key information such as customer or day of the week.
Bluepoint manufacture the right type of self-tie labels for ALL applications – and for those commercial operators wanting to show off their brand, we also offer a full colour, custom printing option, showcasing your company’s logo whilst keeping space and retaining the ability to print information on-demand and in-house.
Tough and durable synthetic materials with proven, eco-friendly options.
We choose only the best materials for our tags and labels. We understand the demands of industry and can supply our self-tie loop-lock labels for laundry in a material that suits every application. If you print your own tags, we can supply these in materials that are suitable for both laser and thermal transfer printers.
For ultimate durability, we offer a choice of synthetic materials. Our Poly-Tech 20 is a high-density polyethylene and comes in roll form for thermal transfer printers for on-demand printing. PrinPlas 15 is a polyester-based product and comes in roll form for thermal transfer printers, or in sheeted form for those using a laser printer for in-house printing.
And for the eco-minded laundry, choose EcoTech 15, a truly sustainable paper-based, tear-resistant alternative from FSC sources, tried and tested and already used by several of our laundry partners.
All of our products are fully recyclable, so whichever material you choose, you can ensure your part in the circular economy.
