Durable, waterproof UHF RFID tags encapsulated in high-quality silicone rubber, engineered for industrial laundry and textile tracking. With IP68 protection, 180 industrial wash cycles, and a read range of up to 6 meters, these tags are the reliable choice for hotel linen, hospital uniforms, workwear rental, and commercial laundry automation.
RFIDSU's Silicone RFID Laundry Tags are durable, waterproof UHF RFID tags encapsulated in high-quality silicone rubber, engineered for industrial laundry and textile tracking. Operating at 860–960 MHz with a read range of up to 6 meters, these tags deliver reliable performance through extreme washing conditions including high temperature, high pressure, and aggressive chemicals.
The silicone encapsulation provides IP68 waterproof protection and superior resistance to detergents, acids, and alkalis — far exceeding traditional fabric tags in chemically harsh environments. The flexible yet robust construction supports multiple installation methods: sew-in, insert pocket, 3M adhesive backing, heat-seal, and hangtag configurations.
With EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C compliance and compatibility with major UHF chips including Impinj Monza R6-P, NXP UCODE 8/9, and Alien Higgs-4/9, these tags are rated for 180 industrial wash cycles with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +100°C. Ideal applications include hotel linen tracking, hospital uniform management, workwear rental services, firefighter PPE inventory, and commercial laundry automation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between silicone laundry tags and textile (fabric) laundry tags?
Both tag types serve industrial laundry tracking but with different strengths. Textile laundry tags support 200 or more wash cycles at a lower cost, making them ideal for high-volume, budget-conscious projects. Silicone laundry tags offer IP68 waterproof protection and superior chemical resistance with 180 industrial wash cycles, excelling in chemically aggressive environments. We help you evaluate both options based on your specific project requirements.
Can these tags survive industrial washing and drying?
Yes. Silicone RFID Laundry Tags are specifically engineered for industrial laundry environments. They withstand 180 industrial wash and dry cycles, high-pressure washing, hot drying, and exposure to harsh detergents and chemicals with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +100°C.
What is the read range and does material type affect it?
Read range reaches up to 6 meters when used with standard UHF RFID readers. Actual performance depends on reader power, antenna setup, and the type of textile the tag is attached to. Wet or metal-rich environments may reduce read distance — we recommend testing with your specific items and workflow.
How are the tags attached to garments?
Five attachment methods are available: sew directly into seams, insert into existing garment pockets, permanent 3M adhesive backing, heat-seal thermal bonding, or hangtag with string/zip tie. Choose the method that best fits your garment type and laundry process.
What is the minimum order and how can I get samples?
There is no strict minimum order quantity — small trial orders are welcome. Free samples are available for evaluation, typically dispatched within 3–5 business days. Contact our sales team at [email protected] with your chip, size, and attachment method requirements.
