[labnetwork] Name Tags on Cleanroom Gowns

[DeRose, Guy A.]

Hello group,

We don’t put name tags on our garments, but rather on the hangers. We just use a “P-Touch” labeler to make a tape with the wearer’s name on it and attach it to the neck of the hanger.  It wraps around the hanger wire and sticks to itself, so they know which garments is theirs and where to find it on the garment rack when going in and out of the cleanroom. Maybe this works at Caltech inspired by Sheldon of “The Big Bang Theory” having his spot.

If you are looking for a solution with names on garments to track people on the cameras, I know of at least one lab at another university that has modified their garments such that a fabric strip with the person’s name is attached with snaps to the back like a sports jersey.

Hi Larry,

Rare earth magnets work well. Metal strip on the tag and magnets inside the garment.

Best Regards,

All,

Do you have a good method to attach name tags for users in your labs?  We have standard bunny suit garments with no pockets or loops.  We use plastic name tag holders with the metal clips, but these seem to fall off rather easily when stored on hangars of the gowning racks.
