A Guide to Tagging Guns: Choosing the Right One

When it comes to retail, manufacturing, or crafting, tagging guns are essential tools for attaching price tags, labels, or even fabric swatches. At HALCO, a leading supplier of tagging equipment, you’ll find a wide range of tagging guns to fit any application. Here, we’ll break down the different types of tagging guns available and help you decide which one is best suited for your needs.

1. Standard Tagging Guns
Standard tagging guns are the go-to choice for most retail applications. They are designed for general use, making them perfect for tagging clothing, soft goods, and accessories. These guns use standard-sized needles and are compatible with a variety of tags and fasteners. HALCO’s range of standard tagging guns, such as the Fire A Tag Standard MK2 Tagging Gun, are reliable, durable, and ideal for everyday use in stores that frequently tag items.

2. Fine Tagging Guns
If you’re working with delicate fabrics like silk, lace, or thin knits, a fine tagging gun is your best option. These guns use smaller, finer needles to avoid damaging the fabric while still securely attaching tags. Fine tagging guns are designed to minimise holes or tears, preserving the quality of your garments. They’re particularly useful in high-end boutiques or stores that handle luxury items. At HALCO, we stock this Avery Dennison MK2 Fine Tagging Gun that is perfect for fine tagging tasks.

3. Heavy Duty Tagging Guns
For those working in tougher environments like warehouses or production lines, heavy-duty tagging guns are essential. These guns are built to withstand rougher use and tag thicker, heavier materials such as carpets, upholstery, or leather. The Avery Dennison Extra Heavy Duty Tag Gun comes with a stronger needle and robust construction to handle even the most demanding tagging tasks.

4. Extra Long Tagging Guns
Sometimes, you need to reach further than standard tagging guns allow. Extra-long tagging guns feature extended needles, enabling you to tag hard-to-reach areas or bulky items. Whether you're tagging thick winter coats or large fabric rolls, HALCO’s selection of extra-long tagging guns, like the MK2 Standard Extra Long Fire-A-Tag Gun, offer the flexibility and reach needed for these specialised jobs.

5. Buttoneer Tagging Guns
Unlike traditional tagging guns, Buttoneer tagging guns are specifically designed for attaching buttons, decorations, or embellishments without sewing. These guns are ideal for quick repairs or adding decorative details to clothing and accessories. Buttoneer models make it easy to attach buttons securely, whether for fashion or practical purposes.
