Manilla Tags
Wholesale Inventory Tags
Inventory and shipping tags place readable information at products, bins, equipment and packages. Available families include manila, colored, Tyvek®, inventory and inspection, merchandise, plastic, claim and repair, and self-laminating tags, plus compatible fasteners. The right family depends on exposure, writing space, attachment and the process behind the message. Paper and cardstock tags support indoor identification, pricing and status workflows where moisture and abrasion are limited. Colored tags make visual sorting faster when the organization uses a documented color key. Tyvek® and plastic options can provide greater resistance to tearing or moisture, but exact durability and marking compatibility remain product-specific. Match tag dimensions to the amount of handwritten, printed or preprinted information required. Then choose pre-strung, pre-wired or unattached formats from the attachment point and work method. A fastener should remain secure without damaging the item, creating a snag hazard or leaving a sharp exposed end. A status word, color or number communicates information but does not perform an inspection, prove chain of custody or make a shipment compliant. Define who completes the tag, what record supports it, who may change the status and how used or canceled numbers are reconciled. Test handwriting, printing or label adhesion on the exact tag surface before rollout. Make required information legible and use text or another backup identifier when color alone could be misunderstood. Remove obsolete tags promptly so the physical item and its supporting record do not show conflicting instructions. Match the material to moisture, abrasion, tear risk, writing method and required service life. Not automatically. Consider attachment security, snag risk, sharp ends and the tagged item. Use a documented legend and readable text or another identifier to reduce ambiguity. No. Connect the physical tag to the authorized record and workflow.
