Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The kit is simple, but the benefit comes from pairing it with a phone app, sewing on the tags, and recording labels. A family member can do this in about half an hour with the instructions. That fits guided setup and not a ready-to-use item.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This pack gives you what you need to tag your clothing so you can identify each piece by scanning it with your phone. It includes 25 two-hole WayTag buttons, six self-threading needles in assorted sizes, invisible thread that won't melt in the dryer, and a cork to help with threading. You sew a button onto a garment, label it in the free WayAround app by typing or recording a message (washing instructions, for example), and then hold your phone over the tag to hear or read the details. It works with VoiceOver on iPhone and TalkBack on Android, so the information can be spoken aloud. It's meant for someone who can't easily tell clothes apart by sight. You'll need a smartphone, and you do have to sew each button on yourself.

    3. Plan on about 30 minutes to learn the app and tag your first few items.
