Die Cut Hangtags

What Is a Die-Cut Hangtag

Die-cut hangtags are product tags printed full color and cut to a shaped outline instead of a rectangle, in 7 shapes on a 2" x 3.5" tag, on any of 15 stocks, with a hanging hole drilled in for you. People reach for them when a plain tag would get lost: clothing and apparel tags, retail price tags, gift and packaging tags, wedding favors, and branded product labels. Because the shape is unexpected and the hole is ready for string, the tag gets handled and kept instead of ignored. If you want the classic rectangle instead, the Standard Hang Tags cover that, and the die-cut sits right beside it as the version that stands out on a rack. New to tags? The guide to hang tags walks through the basics first.

What Shape and Size Should a Die-Cut Hangtag Be

Pick the shape by what the tag hangs on. The default is a clean 2" x 3.5" tag with rounded corners. Round just one corner for an asymmetric edge, cut a leaf for something organic, take a bite out of the side with a half-circle, or go all the way to a 2.5" circle. Seven shapes in all, and if none is exactly right you can set a custom size up to 3" x 4". Then comes the part a plain card cannot do: every tag is drilled for you, with a single 1/8" or 3/16" hole placed in one of 5 positions so the string sits exactly where your product needs it. All 7 shapes, both finishes, the hole options and the full stock list are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a fully custom silhouette, the Shaped Hangtags cut to any outline you draw.

Two more choices finish a die-cut tag.

Pick a stock that fits the product

Start with weight. Everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss cover keep it clean and cheap, 18pt uncoated reads matte and writable, and 14pt or 18pt white linen adds texture you can feel. The metallic pearl finishes in ice, champagne, silver and gold catch the light like foil, a 15pt synthetic plastic shrugs off moisture, and a 17pt indoor magnet turns the tag into a keeper. When you want a natural, earthy look across a whole order, the Kraft Hangtags carry that same idea on brown recycled stock.

Set the hole where the string sits

The drilled hole is what makes a die-cut hangtag ready to hang. Choose a 1/8" hole for thin string or a 3/16" hole for thicker ribbon or a grommet, then place it in one of 5 positions, top center for a straight hang, top left or top right for an angled look, so it lines up with how the tag actually sits on your product.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank hang tag template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the die-cut edge or the drilled hole. Grab it, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Die-Cut Hangtags Cost

Die-cut hangtags start at $36.26 per 100, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 20,000, so a cheap tag really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 600 is $67.00 and 1,000 tags run $98.86, which pulls the per-tag cost from about 36 cents down to roughly 6 cents by 10,000. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-tag cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

What Can You Print on Each Tag

You control both sides. Print full color on the front with a blank back (4/0), add black text on the back for care instructions or a message (4/1), or run full color on both sides (4/4) when the back earns its own design. With 4/4 and a High-Gloss UV coating, one tag can hold the price and a QR link on the front and the care label and brand story on the back.

How Fast Can You Get Die-Cut Hangtags

Die-cut hangtags print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. 99.8% of orders land on time and 82% ship early, so you are not gambling on the date.
