1. General descripon
The Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ is a machine for the temporary marking of garments and other texle items.
Temporary marking of a garment or texle item is achieved without the use of chemical solvents or other
harmful materials. By means of an ink ribbon cartridge, a code (maximum of 12 characters per label) is
printed directly onto the Thermo-Seal label tape, and it is sealed directly onto the garment or texle item.
Most garments or texle items can be marked directly.
For garments over very sensive fabric, there are alternave methods of fixing the temporary label to the
garment. The most common opon is to print an extra-long label.
The extra-long label is inserted through the buon hole of the garment, and then the ends are sealed
together. Another opon is to seal directly onto a “flag tag”. The flag tag is then stapled or pinned onto the
garment.
The Thermo-Seal label type is specifically designed to adhere to the garment or other texle item through
the cleaning process and then be easily removed without leaving any label residue on the garment.
Thermo-Seal label tape is available in ten dierent colors.
The colors of the Thermo-Seal label tape, and the printed code on the label, oer a variety of ways to sort
garments.
The Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ machine operates electrically and pneumacally, through use of compressed
air. The code to be printed on the label tape is entered through the machine keyboard. Raising the Press
Arm engages the pneumac system to automacally cut and seal the label tape onto the garment or
texle item.
Time, temperature, and other oponal seings can be entered through the machine keyboard.
The me and temperature, as well as other informaon, can be viewed from the Keyboard LCD Panel.
The new heater unit design, as well as electronics, ensures the consumer of lower energy consumpon
and a safer work environment.

6.6 Temporary Marking
Temporary, removable marking is used by laundries, hospitals, hotels, texle suppliers, texle care
companies, and various other industries. The Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ Machine is designed to be used for
temporary marking of garments and texle items.
Almost all garments or texle items can be marked directly or indirectly. Because of the variety of fabrics,
it is very important to follow some instrucons on texle care.
The default operang temperature of the Y-151 Thermo-Seal ™ machine is 176°C or 349°F. Materials that
are sensive to heat cannot be marked directly.
The mark on garment labels “Only wash/iron at low temperature” can also indicate that the colors are
sensive to high temperatures or that the heang of the finish on the fabric can cause the color to
change.
If you are not sure about the sensivity of the fabric, please mark the garment or texle item indirectly.
If there is no possibility for indirect marking, the garment or texle item must be washed in a washing net
that has been marked. Be very careful when you want to mark arcles that must be cleaned chemically.
The message “Only Dry Cleaning” normally means that the garment or texle item is sensive to heat,
pressure, and detergents.

6.6.1 Sealing Label Tags and Organizaon
There are 11 dierent colors of Label Marking Tape for organizing and sorng purposes. The colored tapes
can be used for both the enre operaons for a customer and for the dierent lots.
Bundle Lot System
One of the more popular systems is the Bundle Lot System. Garments from mulple customers or sources
can be mixed while washing but easily sorted.
Typical labels for a Bundle Lot System are as follows:
The tape color is changed at the end of each lot. The lot number is advanced by 1 and the bundle number
is reset to 1.The colors are always used in the same sequence.
Day Lot System
On the Day Lot System, one color is designated for all arcles received on a specific day of the week.
All laundry is processed for a 1 or 2 day turnaround and the enre lot is sorted together. Items that get
misplaced or out of lot are easily idenfied by their color.
Route Locaon System
This system uses the color of the tag to designate the route or the store locaon. In many cases, items
are processed, folded, and sent to the store locaon for sorng by counter personnel. The number of
locaons is limited to the number of colors available.

Invoice Number System
The number on the tag is the invoice number. It is oen accompanied by the number of pieces, the day of
delivery, the locaon or lot number. Tag color is usually changed aer a set number of bundles or at the
end of each day.
Hotel Room Number System
This system uses the room number and the date the item is received on the tag.The color changes each
day so that items that are short are easily indenfied. Occasionally the number of pieces in the order is
listed as the first number.
Nursing Home/Elderly Home
Today, most Nursing Homes use a permanent label to idenfy the resident’s garments. When a temporary
label is used, the tag usually is used to denote locaon. The numbering usually denotes the room or
apartment locaon.
6.6.2 Label Tag Marking
Normal label tag marking
Label Tags are sealed directly onto the garment or texle item. Placement of the Label Tag should be done
in the correct posion for the garment or texle item.
Thick, Dirty or Damp Garments and Texle Items
Label Tags are sealed upon thick, dirty, or damp garments and texle items in the same manner as
described in the previous secon, Normal Label Tag Marking. However, thick, dirty, or damp garments and
texle items require more me to securely adhere the Label Tag to the garment or texle item. Therefore, a
Sealing Time of 4.8 seconds “Heavy” is used to correctly seal the Label Tag to the garment or texle item.
The machine operator can change from Normal seal me to Heavy seal me by using the F3 Thermo-Seal
funcon key.

Sensive Garments or Texle Items
Label Tags that cannot be sealed directly on sensive garments or texle items can be sealed indirectly
using the “Extra Length” opon. The Extra Length opon can be acvated by using the F4 funcon
funcon key. When the Extra Length opon is acvated, the display will show “EL”. The Extra Length tag
will have the desired code printed onto the label tag.
The Extra Length label tag can be made longer by pressing the F4 funcon key when the printed label is
posioned in front of the heater element and ready to be sealed.
Raise the press arm to cut the tag. Pass the long label tag through the top buonhole of the garment
or opening in the texle item. Fold the ends of label tape together and posion the ends in front of the
sealing platen, with the printed code facing the heater.
Raise the press arm to seal the ends of the tape together.
The Use of Flags on Sensive Garments
There is an alternave indirect Label Tag marking method. The alternave method uses “flags.” The Label
