When shopping for things, do you have the Xi of looking at tags? If you don't have seven days to return and exchange tags, do you just cut them and throw them away? In addition to price, material, origin, etc., what information can you see from it? This small tag actually hides a big mystery, knowing how to use it, can also save us a lot of money.
What is a clothing tag
Tags, also known as "labels", are appendages of clothing, jewelry, bags, shoes and socks and other commodities, which record important information related to the goods, it is the qualified person of the goods, and it is an important information card like our ID card.
Now, online shopping has become an increasingly important way of life, because we can't choose on the spot, sometimes we will buy products that we don't like, at this time the tag becomes very important, when contacting the merchant to return the goods, the customer service will be specially reminded: please ensure that the sign is in good condition, it will not affect the secondary sales.
In Zaozhuang, Shandong, there was an outrageous story caused by returns: two women came to the shopping store to return the goods because the size of the clothes was not suitable, but because the tag had been cut, the merchant politely refused the request to return the goods, but proposed that they could buy a new one in the store at a price of 20% off.
The woman did not agree to the quarrel between the two parties, the woman took out the phone and claimed to complain to the relatives of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and would immediately seize the clothing store, and then the store also called the police, and the police found out that the woman did not have relatives of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
From this case, it can be seen that in the after-sales process of goods, the role of the tag is very important, so what information is recorded on a small tag, what role does it have for us, and how does it help us save money?
The mystery on the tag
Regular clothing tags, usually made of cardboard, some more delicate will use other materials, such as cowhide, plastic sheets, PU leather, non-woven fabrics, etc., now some tags, there are anti-counterfeiting two-dimensional codes, consumers can immediately judge the authenticity of the goods as long as they scan it.
The information on the tag can help us quickly understand the material, safety level and maintenance method of the garment, and it is also the source of information for consumers to judge the details of the garment.
Let's first take a look at a regular clothing tag: the first row is the "brand" of the product, that is, the name of the product, and then there will be some nuances in different categories, but the necessary information will be there, including the implementation standards of the product, safety standards, manufacturers, production addresses, product models, quality levels, inspectors, product specifications, etc.
The product model is the size of the clothes, if you only look at S, M, L, XL, you may not be able to buy clothes that suit you, this is to refer to your height, bust, waist size.
We take 160/88A (S) as an example, where 160 refers to height, 88 represents chest circumference, A represents version or body type, and S in parentheses means small size.
Product composition is the main raw materials used to make products, and their respective proportions, just like the ingredient list on food packaging, the composition list of clothes can help us judge the material, fabric, such as 50% cotton, 20% polyester, 100% polyester, etc.
In winter, we will, give preference to down jackets to keep warm and warm, how to choose a down jacket with good warmth, is the problem we need to consider, the same, we can buy down jackets through several indicators, respectively, its filling and filling amount, we take the filling: 90% white goose down, filling amount: XS 145g, S 149g, M159g, L164g logo as an example to illustrate.
There are generally two kinds of down jacket fillings - duck down and goose down, which can be further subdivided into: white duck down, gray duck down, white goose down and gray goose down, these fillings are not much different in terms of warmth, and the main difference is in color.
Generally, it will be selected according to the color of the outer material of the down jacket, so the white down jacket usually uses white goose down or white duck down as the filling, however, in comparison, goose down is a little better than duck down in terms of fluffiness, resilience, warmth and softness, so the price will be relatively more expensive.
A good down jacket, its filling rate of more than 90%, this parameter is directly related to the warmth of the clothes, and the amount of down is related to the total gram weight of a down jacket, there is an unwritten rule in the industry - a down jacket to achieve the effect of warmth, the down content must reach at least 130g.
This part of the information of the washing instructions can help to know the correct way to wash the clothes, the common signs are "not dry cleaning", "not bleaching", as well as specific washing temperature and detergent requirements, it should be noted that this washing label is sometimes sewn separately on the inside of the clothes, and the clothes tag is separated.
The washing label divides the cleaning of the garment into several steps: washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, professional wet cleaning, etc., each step is replaced by the corresponding geometric symbols: the washing is a trapezoidal shape that is not sealed, and the recommended washing temperature will be indicated, and the bleaching is a triangle, indicating whether the garment is suitable for bleaching and staining.
Ironing is a very figurative electric iron, which indicates the maximum temperature that can be used, and professional care is a circular symbol, which is specifically aimed at those clothes that need special care, so a small tag is also very knowledgeable.
The implementation standard of the product is a more professional parameter, it refers to the product in the production process of the technical and quality requirements of the standard, these standards are formulated by the country or industry to ensure the quality and performance of the product, the final safety category is the safety category of textile products according to their use is divided into A, B, C three categories, class A products are suitable for infant textile products, class B is a textile that can directly contact the skin, and class C is a product that can not directly contact the skin.
Therefore, we must keep our eyes open when choosing clothes for children at home, and choose Class A products with higher safety to better ensure the health and safety of children, and when we buy clothes and textiles, we should try to avoid Class C products, especially those that require a large area of contact with the skin, such as covers, socks, underwear, summer T-shirts, skirts, underwear, etc., long-term contact with Class C or even non-category textiles may cause skin itching, redness, allergies, and serious skin lesions.
In addition, the current standard of the continental safety mark is GB 18401-2010, if the product is not marked with this logo, or the identification is wrong, then it can be immediately judged that it is counterfeit as an example of the product, in terms of infant textiles, the state has more stringent regulations, such as the standard for children's clothing is GB 31701-2015, and will be specifically marked in parentheses "infant products".
Among them, the grade of clothes is an important symbol to judge the quality of clothes, and the grades of clothes are generally divided into four categories: excellent products, first-class products, second-class products and qualified products, and the parameters that determine the difference in grades come from the shrinkage rate of clothes, the number of defects, the firmness of the color, etc., therefore, the higher the grade of the clothes, the higher the parameter standards, which is also an important reference basis for us to purchase goods.
In addition to the above necessary information, there are also some tag information that needs to be paid attention to, such as special precautions, and some textiles with special materials or easy to fade will be specially reminded.
Like jeans, some will specifically note: avoid sitting on light-colored or damp objects, be careful with light-colored clothing, sweat stains and other water traces may cause fading, etc., so when purchasing, if you mind these details, we can avoid it by reading the tag information in advance.
At the same time, some tags have also become a place for businesses to advertise, they introduce their own brands and stories on it, shorten the distance with consumers, and a tag through its unique design, color and style, can also attract the attention of consumers, these are the very detailed parts of the tag, we can observe with our hearts in life, which brands of tags are particularly careful in design.
The magic of hang tags
After understanding the meaning and function of the parameters on the tag, you may ask, in addition to these commodity-related information, what is the use of the tag?
Sometimes dirt and dust accumulate in the cracks of our computer keyboards, or remote controls, etc., because the gaps are small and difficult to clean thoroughly, and these appliances cannot be wet, so you can use the tag. Wrap a wet paper towel around the tip of the tag to easily clean up the dead spots in the crevices.
In the same way, the gaps in the door frames, windows and wooden furniture are often cleaning dead corners, we can clean them in the same way, and there is also a cleaning dead corner, that is, the gap between the gas stove and the stove in the kitchen, which is the most troublesome place for many families to clean the kitchen, we can dip the kitchen cleaner on the wet paper towels, and we can thoroughly clean these sanitary dead corners.
The most common shape of the tag is rectangular, which is made of hard paper, so it is more durable, sometimes reading a book, we have something to leave halfway, and there is no special bookmark at hand, or reluctant to fold the page to mark, you can use the tag as a bookmark, the size of the tag is just about the same as the bookmark, small and lightweight, and can save us a sum of money to buy a bookmark.
We often use wired headphones to listen to songs and watch videos, and the storage of wired headphones is also a headache.
Of course, there are small tools on the market that specialize in storing headphone cables, but have you ever thought that a free small tag can solve this problem, wrap the earphone cable around the tag, you can first wrap it horizontally a few times, and then winding it longitudinally, so that the earphone cable can be firmly fixed on the tag.
Friends who like to do handicrafts, you can also make full use of the tags, you can make a lot of interesting handicrafts, some people have used the tags to make a simple mobile phone holder, very strong and durable.
