According to the company, updating from manual hand-tagging with tags and staples to the automatic Polymark system can double or triple the production of taggers who can work with less effort while bringing better control to the production floor. Both tagging and sorting are simplified with many plants sorting directly from the shirt unit with no loss in pressing production. Mix-ups are reduced since it is impossible to transpose a number with the Polymark 15 Order Lot System.
The Polymark System for laundry identification uses a soft cloth tag that is automatically applied to the article with controlled adhesions. The machine is plugged into a standard wall outlet; no compressor is necessary.
