Compact, durable NFC button tags molded from high-temperature PPS engineering plastic, engineered for industrial laundry and textile tracking. With a Ø15mm round button design, 2mm center sew hole, and operating range of -30°C to +200°C, these tags are the reliable choice for hospital uniforms, hotel linen, workwear rental, and high-temperature sterilization environments.
RFIDSU's PPS Button NFC Laundry Tags are compact, durable NFC identification tags molded from high-temperature PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) engineering plastic in a round button design. Operating at 13.56 MHz with a read range of 1–3 cm, these tags deliver reliable NFC performance through extreme industrial washing, drying, and sterilization conditions.
The button design features a Ø15mm round body with a 2mm center hole, allowing secure sew-through attachment to garments, linens, and textiles. Only 3mm thick, the tag can be discreetly embedded into garment edges or seams without affecting wearer comfort. PPS material provides exceptional heat resistance up to 200°C, making these tags suitable for autoclave sterilization and high-temperature drying processes.
With ISO 14443A / NFC Forum Type 2 compliance and compatibility with NXP NTAG213, MIFARE Classic 1K, and Fudan F08 chips (plus 125kHz and ISO15693 options on request), these tags withstand approximately 200 industrial wash cycles. Ideal applications include hospital uniform tracking, hotel linen management, workwear rental services, brand apparel anti-counterfeiting, and commercial laundry automation.

What is PPS material and why is it used for laundry tags?
PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is a high-performance engineering plastic known for exceptional heat resistance up to 200°C, excellent chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. It is the ideal material for laundry tags that must survive autoclave sterilization, industrial drying, and exposure to harsh detergents without deforming or degrading.
How are these button tags attached to garments?
Each tag has a 2mm center hole, allowing it to be sewn directly onto fabrics like a button. The tag can also be inserted into a fabric pocket at the garment edge. The compact 3mm thickness ensures comfort and concealment.
Which chip should I choose for my application?
NTAG213 (144 bytes user memory) is ideal for basic NFC applications like URL linking and simple ID storage. MIFARE Classic 1K (768 bytes user memory) offers more storage and cryptographic security features suitable for access control and complex data. F08 is a cost-effective alternative compatible with MIFARE 1K. We can help you select based on your specific needs.
Can these tags survive autoclave sterilization?
Yes. The PPS material has a continuous service temperature of up to 200°C, making these tags suitable for autoclave sterilization at 121°C or 134°C. The tags have been tested through repeated sterilization and industrial wash cycles while maintaining NFC read performance.
What is the minimum order quantity and can I get samples?
RFIDSU offers flexible MOQ with no strict minimum. Free samples are available for evaluation, typically dispatched within 3–5 business days. Contact our sales team at [email protected] with your chip type and quantity requirements.
