Washable Textile UHF RFID Laundry Tag, 200+ Wash Cycles: overview
The LT-150 is a 70 × 15 × 1 mm UHF RFID laundry tag built into washable cloth, for linen and garments that go through commercial wash programs every day. It is rated for more than 200 industrial wash cycles and 60 bar of pressure, and it tolerates high temperature, high humidity, soaking, repeated rubbing and direct ironing. Because the carrier is textile, it is sewn straight into a hem, care label or pocket.
An NXP UCODE 8 chip sits on an antenna tuned for 902–928 MHz. This is the longest-reaching tag in our laundry range: 7.5 m with a 4 W fixed reader and 2 m with an Impinj R2000-based handheld. It is also specified for high sensitivity, good interference resistance and strong multi-tag reading, which is what counts when a full cart of sheets passes a portal in one go.
Typical buyers are industrial laundries, linen-rental firms, hospitals, rail operators that launder onboard bedding, garment makers and uniform programs. The tag also suits other hot, abrasive or corrosive settings where a flexible, sewable ID is needed.
Integration notes
Encode and associate the EPC when the item is first issued, then read at soiled intake, after washing and at dispatch to track losses and cycle counts per item. Only a 902–928 MHz version is listed; for ETSI 865–868 MHz sites, ask us about options or use the 860–960 MHz LT-130.

LT-150 FAQ
How many wash cycles will the LT-150 survive?
It is rated for more than 200 industrial wash cycles and 60 bar of pressure. Your chemicals and temperatures affect service life, so validate with a pilot batch.
Can the tag be ironed or pressed?
Yes. It is specified for direct ironing and tolerates high temperature, high humidity and soaking.
What read range does it achieve?
7.5 m with a 4 W fixed reader and 2 m with an Impinj R2000-based handheld. Wet or densely packed loads reduce this, so tune portals with real carts.
How is it attached?
The textile carrier is sewable, so it can be stitched into a hem, care label or pocket.
Is there a version for 865–868 MHz?
Only a 902–928 MHz version is listed. Contact us about ETSI-band options, or use the LT-130 PPS button, which is rated 860–960 MHz.
