Essential Tips for RFID Clothing Hang Tag in Nursing Homes

How useful are RFID tags?

Simply put, RFID tags are like the “ID card” of clothes. It looks like a small card that can be fixed on clothes with a light clip. There is a small chip hidden inside that can store the name, room number and other information of the resident. The caregiver can immediately know whose clothes belong to by scanning with a small device. This method is not only efficient, but also reduces errors.

Now, let’s take a look at the actual benefits of RFID tags in nursing homes:

1. No more confusion of clothes
In nursing homes, hundreds of clothes are washed together, and if you are not careful, you may send someone else’s clothes to your family. With RFID tags, you only need to scan to know which resident’s clothes belong to, avoiding all kinds of confusion.

2. Help caregivers save time
Caregivers have to sort a lot of clothes every day. If they rely on the naked eye to recognize the name of each piece, it is too tiring and easy to make mistakes. RFID tags can tell who the clothes belong to at a glance, greatly improving work efficiency and making care work easier.

3. Protect important clothes
Some residents like to wear their sweaters and shirts that they have worn for many years. These clothes have special meanings to them. After attaching RFID tags, the possibility of loss can be minimized, which also brings peace of mind to family members.

4. Easy to use, caregivers can also operate quickly
Some traditional tags need to be sewn and ironed, and caregivers may not attach them if they are too busy. The current RFID tags are designed to be very considerate-just like a clothespin, clip it on the clothes and use it, which is easy and convenient.

Three ways to label clothing for nursing homes

Like stickers, just tear them off and stick them on the inside of the clothing. It is waterproof and washable, and is very suitable for frequently washed clothing such as socks and T-shirts. The disadvantage is that it may fall off after washing for a long time, so it is suitable for short-term use.

2. Ironing labels
After heating with an iron, stick it on the clothes. It sticks very firmly and is not easy to fall off. It is suitable for clothes that are worn frequently, such as pajamas and underwear. But it is not suitable for heat-sensitive fabrics such as sweaters and silk.

3. Sewing labels
Labels sewn by hand on clothes are very durable. Clothes such as coats and cotton-padded clothes that are worn for a long time and not washed frequently are most suitable for sewing labels. Although it takes a little time to sew, it is a one-time solution.
