Tag Stringing

What is tag stringing? Tag stringing is the completely automated process (thousands per hour), in which a machine performs the following functions in a single pass:

  1. Feeds the tag
  2. Punches a hole
  3. Pulls the string from a large cone of string and cuts it to a required length
  4. Inserts the string and ties a permanent knot
  5. Counts the tags into customer required quantities (20’s, 50’s, etc.)

A term you might be asked by our estimator, is what is the length “hole to knot”? What this means is not how long the string is, but how long the tied string is from the knot to the tag hole. For instance, if the “hole to knot” is 3”, then if you were to cut the string and lay it out flat, it would measure 6”!

The image above shows a multi-panel tag

We have produced tags with up to 12 panels.  Some multi-paneled tags are often miniature saddle stitched booklets or “paste bound books”, (I’ll do a blog about “paste binding” in a few weeks) or miniature perfect bound books!

A large percentage of the tags we produce are die cut. As you can see in the image above, tags aren’t just limited to being round or square. They can be shapes like an orange, mango or pineapple!
