A tagging system for carpet or flooring samples has a lower gripping arm, an upper gripping arm, and a connecting arm connecting the lower gripping arm and the upper gripping arm. The lower gripping arm and the lower gripping arm are spaced apart by the connecting arm a distance to provide a snug fit with a typical flooring samples. Disposed on the upper gripping arm is a removeable label window connector, for connecting a transparent label window holder to the upper gripping arm. The label window connector has a plurality of notches about its substantially circular rim for connecting with the label window holder. In another embodiment, the label window connector connects the gripping arms, allowing for mounting the tagger perpendicular to the flooring sample. In another embodiment, the tagger has a body plate receiving a transparent label window, and an arcuate lip for receiving a color-coded marker.
