Application case of hot melt adhesive particles for clothing tags: the transformation process of tag detachment and customer complaints being resolved

How to prevent clothing tags from falling off with hot melt adhesive particles?

A Guangzhou clothing factory was repeatedly returned by e-commerce customers due to the detachment of tags. The hanging tag is easy to loosen when tied with wire and easy to curl when used with adhesive tape. Later on, hot melt adhesive particles were used for point bonding and fixation, and the process is worth recording. Here is their transformation story.

problem localization

The original process used double-sided tape to attach hang tags, and during the rainy season in southern China, the edges became damp and curled, resulting in a 3% drop rate during warehouse inspections. The factory manager found “Sunlife Hot Melt Adhesive” to seek a spot adhesive solution.

Three steps of renovation

• SelectionThe hang tag is made of copperplate paper and plastic buckle, with high initial adhesion and medium temperature (90 ℃) adhesive particles selected, and can be securely fastened by two dots.
• Get on the equipmentAdd a micro dispensing head to the tag machine, with a single dispensing time of 0.3 seconds without slowing down.
• VerificationAfter being stored in a high humidity warehouse for 7 days, the peeling rate was reduced to 0.

effect

After the renovation, customer complaints about the hang tag have been reduced to zero, and the cost of using adhesive for a single piece is less than a penny, which is actually cheaper than double-sided adhesive. Guangzhou Sunlife Trading also provides sweat resistant formulas to prevent summer clothing tags from sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it possible to use 502 for hang tags?
No way. 502 is brittle, whitened, and has slow dispensing, making it unsuitable for high-speed point sticking on production lines.

Q: Is there a common adhesive for tags made of different fabrics?
Cotton and linen have slight differences from synthetic fibers, and Sunlife can determine the brand based on fabric sample testing.

This case illustrates that hot melt adhesive particle point sticking for clothing tags is a cost-effective solution to replace double-sided tape and cure detachment.
