Tagging barbs and gun to attach the tag to the garment quickly and securely, with no special tools.

A tagging barb is the small plastic filament that attaches the tag to the garment, with a little T-shaped bar at the end that passes through the fabric. It is applied with a tagging gun, which pushes the needle through the garment and leaves the tag secured in a second, without staples or pins.

## What they are used for

- **Clothing shops** : to attach [hang tags](https://grafidel.com/en/products/hang-tags) showing the price and size.
- **Garment manufacturing** : to attach the label once the garment is finished, or to join pairs and items sold together.
- **Footwear, accessories and home textiles** : any item that carries a hanging tag.

## Tagging barbs and gun

We supply the barbs in strips, ready to load into the gun, as well as the tagging gun itself. It is a fast, secure system: the tag does not fall off in transit or in the shop, it cannot be moved to another garment without it showing, and it can be removed with scissors without damaging the fabric.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do they damage the fabric?

The needle of the gun passes between the threads of the fabric without cutting them. For more delicate fabrics there are fine needles; ask us about them.

### Do I need any special tools?

Just the gun. It is loaded with a strip of barbs and each pull of the trigger inserts one, with no tools or preparation needed.

### Can you supply the tags too?

Yes. We make cardboard [hang tags](https://grafidel.com/en/products/hang-tags) with your design, punched for the barb. [Ask us for a quote](https://grafidel.com/en/contact) for both at once.
