What is the difference between printed and embroidered gear tags? Embroidered tags feature your custom text stitched directly into the webbing for a classic, textured finish. Printed tags use a dye-sublimation process to infuse text and images straight into the nylon fibers, resulting in a smooth, flat surface that can handle graphics.
Do the ends of the tags fray? The edges of the nylon webbing are heat-sealed, so they will not fray under normal conditions. If the tag gets sharply creased or bent in half lengthwise, the heat seal can occasionally snap. If this happens, you can instantly reseal the edge by passing a lighter flame quickly across the frayed end.
How long will the tags last? Embroidered designs will remain intact for the lifespan of the tag. Printed tags may experience slight color fading after extensive sun or weather exposure, but the sublimated text and images will stay highly visible for years.
What materials are the gear tags made from? The tags are made from rugged woven nylon webbing, utilizing the same material strength found in automotive seatbelts. Each tag features a flat braided cord loop secured by a high-strength bartack stitch and is finished with an ultrasonically welded thermoplastic cap to handle heavy abuse.
How do I attach the tags to my bags? Wrap the tag around your bag’s handle, feed the nylon webbing through the braided loop, and pull it tight. This creates a secure slipknot that will not accidentally detach.
