Tag Gun, Clothing Tagging Gun & Garment Label Attachment Tools by Type

 

What Is a Tag Gun?

A tag gun (also known as a clothing tagging gun) is a specialized tool used to attach price tags, brand labels, or product tags onto garments and fashion products using tag pins, also referred to as plastic fasteners or tag barbs.

This tool is widely used in the garment industry, especially in OEM/ODM factories, apparel manufacturing facilities, fashion businesses, and product packaging operations. A tag gun helps improve working speed, maintain consistent finishing quality, and optimize the final packaging process before shipment.

Today, tag guns are available in multiple types depending on the tag pin system and fabric thickness requirements.

Common Types of Tag Guns in the Garment Industry

Loop Fastener Tag Gun (Non-Piercing Needle Type)

This type of tag gun uses a loop fastener attachment method instead of piercing directly through the fabric surface. It is suitable for products that require minimal needle marks or need to protect sensitive materials, such as shoes, handbags, caps, luggage, backpacks, belts, and fashion accessories.

How to Choose the Right Tag Gun

To select the most suitable garment label attachment tool for your business, manufacturers and garment factories should consider the following factors:

• Based on fabric type: Lightweight fabrics should use fine needle tag guns, standard fabrics are suitable for standard needle tag guns, while thick or multi-layer fabrics require long needle tag guns. Premium and delicate fabrics are better suited for extra fine needle tag guns to minimize visible needle marks. Accessories such as caps, hats, bags, belts, and non-fabric items should use loop fastener tag guns that do not pierce through the material.
• Based on production requirements: For large-scale manufacturing and high-volume production, Japanese-made tag guns are recommended for better operational stability, durability, maintenance support, and long-term performance. For seasonal production or businesses looking to optimize costs, VP Tool products provide a cost-effective solution while still maintaining reliable quality standards.
• Based on the tag pin type being used: Each type of tag pin is designed to work with specific tagging gun models. For optimal compatibility and to minimize jamming or product defects, businesses are recommended to use matching tag pin systems supplied by Van Nang Banok.
