Powertag: A Tough Tag for a Tough Job

In response to customer demand for synthetic tag stocks, Label Power has introduced three new grades of synthetic thermal transfer tag material, and one new grade of laser printable synthetic tag stock.

 

"Powertag' is a new synthetic thermal transfer tag that Label Power stocks in three different weights - 110 GSM (Powertag110 ), 200 GSM (Powertag200 ) and 255 GSM (Powertag255).

 

Powertag can be used in place of Valeron, Tyvek, Polyart and other synthetic stocks at very competitive prices. Powertag has good properties for thermal-transfer printing, where identification of products is a priority. As Powertag has a special coating, you can also hand-write on the coated side.

 

Label Power also supplies the ribbons that ensure the best quality print result with any brand of thermal transfer printer.

 

James Malone says: "Powertag 110 has been extremely popular. And because it's only 110 GSM, you can fit twice as many tags per roll than if you were to use a standard 200 GSM card stock. The other advantage is that it's many times stronger than a paper- or pulp-based tag. This has big advantages in work environments such as the garment industry, where tag loss is commonplace."

Until now, the garment industry has generally only used 200-220 GSM cardboard tags. Other industries that will quickly see the advantage of Powertag include nurseries, logging operations, general manufacturing, steel mills, and/or any industry that needs to tag a product with easily readable information and barcodes. Powertag is a tough tag that won't get lost or degrade in the 'rough and tumble' of the average work site.
