Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Chemical Fiber "Check Hangtag Before Buying Clothes in Hot Summer"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Taekwang Industrial, the only comprehensive textile manufacturer in Korea, and Daehan Chemical Fiber announced on the 6th that they have completed attaching hangtags (quality labels attached to clothing) that convey the functions and characteristics of the materials on all functional differentiated and eco-friendly materials.

Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Chemical Fiber attached hangtags to finished garments to clearly show the characteristics of the materials such as moisture absorption and quick drying, cooling sensation, and elasticity, based on consumer needs.

The front of the hangtag is designed to reflect the texture of the yarn, while the back uses icons to easily convey the advantages of the material. For example, the Drytec product indicates quick drying and comfort, while Shellon highlights features such as lightness, UV protection, and cooling effect. On the back, a QR code linked to the ACEPORA brand website is included so consumers can easily obtain detailed information via their mobile phones. The QR code connects to Korean, English, and Chinese versions of the website depending on the language of the hangtag.

In particular, the hangtag for the recycled fiber 'ACEPORA-ECO' draws attention for being made from sugarcane fiber instead of the commonly used coated paper, reflecting the characteristics of eco-friendly yarns and environmental protection trends. Instead of paper made from felled trees, paper made from sugarcane fiber discarded during the sugar production process is used, making it environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.

Currently, clothing products with hangtags from Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Chemical Fiber include those from Jaju, Crocodile, Elle, Codes Combine, and Andar. Notably, the brand Skechers' summer graphic T-shirts, which will be broadcast on Lotte Home Shopping at 10:30 PM on Saturday, June 6, will be the first to feature these hangtags. The material applied to this Skechers T-shirt is Drytec, which excels in moisture absorption, quick drying, and cooling effects, making it perfect for hot summer days.

A Taekwang Industrial official stated, "Taekwang Industrial and Daehan Chemical Fiber will strive to provide clear and detailed product information through hangtags and websites to help consumers make rational purchases."
