Will the optical tag break when tightened?

Optical tags can break when tightened, especially in the following situations:

What can cause optical tags to break:

Material fatigue: Optical tags are usually made of plastic or other materials. Long-term stress or overtightening may cause material fatigue, which may cause the tag to break.

Overtightening: If the tag is overtightened beyond the range it is designed to withstand, it may cause stress concentration and cause it to break.

Uneven force: During the tightening process, if the force applied is uneven, it may cause excessive pressure on a part of the tag, causing it to break.

Environmental factors: Environmental factors such as temperature changes and high or low humidity may also affect the strength and flexibility of the tag material, increasing the risk of breakage.

Quality issues: If the manufacturing quality of the tag is poor and low-quality materials are used, it may also cause it to break during normal use.

Tips to avoid breakage:

Appropriate force: When tightening optical tags, always follow the product instructions, apply appropriate force, and avoid overtightening.

Check the material condition: Regularly check the tag material to ensure that it is not aged, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

Choose high-quality products: Choose certified or quality-assured optical tags to ensure that their materials and processes can withstand the stress of use.

Temperature and humidity control: Use and store labels under appropriate environmental conditions to avoid extreme temperatures and humidity that affect material properties.

Proper installation: Ensure that the installation process of the optical tag meets specifications to avoid breakage caused by improper installation.

In short, optical tags do have the potential to break when tightened, especially under improper use or poor environment. Proper use and maintenance can reduce this risk.
