Why does Dale Cleaners use the “white plastic fasteners” to secure tags on garments and not staples?
The white plastic fasteners used to “tag” by Dale Cleaners were developed expressly for this purpose. The fasteners do not snag garments and their low profile leave no trace marks after pressing. The fasteners remain secure through all types of cleaning and finishing processes. Staples on the other hand, are made for securing paper to paper. Their sharp edges make the prime candidates to cause snags and their composition makes them intolerant of many cleaning and finishing procedures leading to their high failure rate.
