Custom hang tags printed in full color

Custom hang tags are the last thing a customer reads before they decide. It carries your price, your size, your barcode and, if you use it properly, the reason someone should pay what you are asking.

Our custom hang tags are printed in full color on 300 gsm solid matte cardstock, in a single standard size of 2.01 x 3.07 inches. Print one side or both. Add a cord or leave it off. Order from 100 tags for $63 and download a free proof at actual size before anything goes to press.

What goes on a hang tag

Most brands use the front for identity and the back for information. If you are selling into retail or wholesale rather than direct to consumer, the back is not optional, because a buyer will ask for it.

One thing worth being clear about: a hang tag is removed before the garment is worn, so it is not the right home for legally required care and content information. That belongs on a sewn-in label. Our satin care labels cover that side of it.

Specifications

Designing for the size

2.01 x 3.07 inches sits in the standard range for clothing hang tags and swing tags, large enough to be read across a shop floor and small enough not to swamp a folded garment or get in the way on a rail.

Three things to plan around:

• Keep the top clear. The drill hole center sits 8 mm from the top edge. Anything you place in that band will be punched through or crowded by the cord.
• Stay inside the safe area. The design tool shows a dashed guide. Text or logos outside it risk being trimmed, since no two sheets cut in exactly the same place.
• Decide early whether you need the back. Double sided costs slightly more, but it is the difference between a price tag and a piece of packaging. If you need a barcode, you need the back.

Barcodes and QR codes

If you are going into retail or wholesale, the barcode on the hang tag is what gets you through the door. Two practical points.

Print barcodes as pure black on a white background at the largest size your layout allows, and leave clear space either side. Colored, reversed or shrunken barcodes are the single most common reason a tag fails at the till.

Then test it. Your free proof prints at scale 1:1, so you can print the sheet, scan the barcode and scan the QR code with a phone before you commit to a run of a thousand. This takes two minutes and it is the cheapest quality check available to you.

Cords

Cords are optional and priced separately. They come in black or white, 17 cm long, with a fixing closure at the ends so you can attach them by hand without a tagging gun.

Tags with string are shipped loose rather than pre-attached. That is deliberate: brands usually want to tag at the point of packing rather than receive a box of pre-strung tags that tangle. If you would rather use your own string, safety pins, ribbon or a plastic tagging barb, the 3 mm hole takes all of them.

Who orders custom hang tags

• Clothing brands preparing a collection for retail, where printed clothing hang tags replace handwritten or stickered pricing
• Handmade sellers and Etsy shops who need product tags that make a small run look like a considered line
• Jewelry and accessory designers using the tag as the display card as well as the price tag
• Gift and homeware brands using swing tags on packaging, hampers and seasonal ranges
• Pop-ups, markets and events where a clean tag does the work a shopfront would normally do
• Wholesale suppliers who need barcoded garment tags before a stockist will take the order

Need a different size or shape?

We produce custom hang tags in one standard size, which is what keeps the minimum at 100 tags. If your project needs a different size, a custom shape, a different stock or a special finish, request a quote and we will price it as a custom run.

Finish the garment properly by pairing them with woven brand labels for the neck and printed care labels for the seam.
