What if every garment kept a durable identity through every laundry cycle? Industrial laundry identification enables each item to remain visible from intake to delivery. Avery Dennison supports commercial laundries and textile rental programs with systems that protect visibility across facilities and customer accounts.
Traceability across the laundry cycle
High-volume laundries need garment identification that can hold up to industrial processing and still support decisions on the floor. A label has to do more than survive the wash. It has to help teams understand where an item belongs, who it belongs to, and what needs to happen next. When the identification system is built into the workflow, traceability becomes easier to manage. Garments can move through the laundry cycle with fewer exceptions, customer questions can be resolved with more confidence, and production can keep moving without constant manual checks.
What we do
Avery Dennison helps laundry operations build durable identification systems around the way garments actually move through production. Heat seal labels, temporary print media, application equipment, and scan-ready triggers can be combined to support both permanent IDs and short-term process control. The result is a more consistent workflow for commercial laundries, textile rental programs, and managed apparel services. With regional service and global production support, teams can keep identification programs aligned across sites while reducing avoidable delays.
Key solutions for laundry
HiQ Labels
Wash-resistant labels for textile rental tracking
HiQ labels are designed for garments that need long-term barcode, RFID, or NFC identification. They help connect each item to inventory records, customer accounts, route data, and sortation workflows, giving textile rental teams a more reliable way to manage stock through repeated laundering and return cycles.
Temporary Printing
Batch labels, tapes, and tags for intake control
Temporary print media supports the early stages of laundry processing, when batches, routes, and customer orders need to stay visible before permanent identification is applied. Automated thermal printers, including the Y-151, help teams label items quickly during receiving, sorting, and short-term order control.
Reduce garment loss and manual handling
Fragmented tracking makes it difficult to confirm ownership, locate missing stock, and understand where rework enters the process. A connected laundry identification system gives each garment a durable reference point from receiving through delivery. The system supports clearer handoffs between departments, better inventory records, and more consistent service for rental apparel, workwear, hospitality linen, and customer-owned goods.
