Production planning

From accessory use to fit and finish checks

Define what the accessory must hold, protect or attach to. Sleeves, holders and other formats have their own material, fit and finishing requirements.

Illustrative product options. The approved specification and sample define your order.

  1. 1 · Accessory and use

    Identify the sleeve, holder, fob, staff credential or tag required. Provide dimensions, the item to fit where applicable, and intended use conditions.

  2. 2 · Artwork and information

    Confirm logo, printed instructions, color references and layout for the available surface.

  3. 3 · Fit and assembly

    Agree openings, folds, fasteners or attachment points as applicable. Check the actual card or item fits the proposed sample.

  4. 4 · Handling and finish

    Assess edges, print, assembly and repeated handling. Electronics and encoding are relevant only when included in the specified product.

Accessory questions, answered

Can sleeves and cards ship as matched sets?

Yes — most clients order them together so colors are matched on press and quantities stay in sync. We can also collate them per property for hotel groups.

Do you print variable data like room numbers or staff names?

Specify artwork, color references, finish and numbering. Agree the printing method, proofing scope, acceptance criteria and any charges for the selected construction. Agree the card specification and sample acceptance criteria before approving production. Issuing access permissions remains part of the hotel’s authorized access system.

How do laundry tags attach to linens?

Three ways: sewn into a hem, heat-sealed as a patch, or slipped into a fabric pouch. We recommend the method per textile type — towels, sheets and uniforms each behave differently over hundreds of cycles.
