Tag Gun
A tag gun, also known as a tagging gun, price tagger, or label gun, is a manual tool used to attach labels or tags to merchandise. It is commonly employed in retail settings for pricing, inventory management, and product identification.
Material
Tag guns are typically constructed from a durable plastic or metal body, often incorporating a steel jaw mechanism for securely fastening tags. The pins used are generally made of plastic or fine metal.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a tag gun is to efficiently and quickly attach price tags, product information, or other labels to items. This streamlines the retail process, reducing time spent manually attaching tags and ensuring consistent application.
Function
A tag gun functions by pushing a pin through both the tag and the fabric of the item being tagged. The tool utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism to drive the pin, locking the tag in place. Different models offer varying levels of force adjustment to accommodate different fabric thicknesses and tag materials.
