Shops and makers order them when a plain tag would look flat: retail price tags, apparel and boutique tags, candle and soap labels, gift tags, and product branding for a launch. Because the metallic comes from ink and not a foil layer, it can cover the entire face of the tag and still keep the price down. If you want the shine from a stamped foil instead, the [Metallic Foil Hangtags](https://www.4over4.com/product/metallic-foil-hangtags) deliver that, and the metallic ink version sits beside it at a lower price. ### What Size Should a Metallic Ink Hangtag Be Pick the size by what the tag has to hold. A 1.5" x 3.5" tag is the classic narrow retail shape, enough for a logo, a price, and a barcode. A 2" x 3.5" gives room for a care note or a short brand story, and the 2" x 2" or 3.5" x 3.5" squares let the metallic face read as a statement. All 9 sizes are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If none of the presets fits, set a custom size up to 4" x 6". ### Metallic Ink Hangtags , Configured Your Way 3 option groups, 13 choices, defaults: 1/0: PMS 877 Silver Front; Blank Back ### Silver or Gold: Which Metallic Ink PMS 877 is a bright silver and PMS 872 is a warm gold, both real Pantone metallics that shimmer as the tag moves. Print one color on the front over a blank back to keep the run lean, or run it on both sides so both faces carry the shine. There are 8 ink setups in all across the two colors and the one-sided or two-sided options. Since it is ink rather than foil, the metallic can fill the whole tag, background and type alike, with none of the setup a foil stamp needs. ### What Stock, Coating, and Hole Come Standard Every metallic ink hangtag prints on 16pt gloss cover, a thick coated card that hangs without curling and keeps the silver and gold crisp. For finish you have three choices: leave it as printed, add a High Gloss UV coat for an all-over shine, or add a Spot UV on the front to make one detail lift off the metallic. Each tag ships pre-drilled with a single 1/8" hole at top center, so there is nothing to add before you thread it with string or ribbon. Want a last look at your file?

It is printed ink, a genuine Pantone metallic in PMS 877 silver or PMS 872 gold, laid right into the face of the tag. Because it prints rather than stamps, the metallic can cover the whole face of the tag instead of one small area. There are 8 ink setups covering front only over a blank back and both sides. ### How thick are the tags and will they hold up on a garment? They print on 16pt gloss cover, a thick stock that stays stiff on a string rather than bending against the product. Each tag comes pre drilled with a single 1/8 inch hole at top center, and the drilling position can be changed in the options. ### What sizes do metallic ink hangtags come in? There are 9 sizes, from a narrow 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch tag up to a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square. A custom size is available up to 4 inches by 6 inches if you need a tag that fits a specific package. ### What does a starting order cost? Sets begin at 500 tags from $126.32, roughly 25 cents each. The per tag price slides toward about a nickel as the run climbs to 25,000, so stocking up for a full season costs far less per tag than reordering in small batches. ### Can I add a coating over the metallic ink? Yes. You can leave the tag uncoated, add High Gloss UV, or add Spot UV on the front. A coating protects the printed metallic from scuffing while tags are handled and hung, which matters if they ship attached to product. ### How long before I have the tags in hand? Standard production runs 7 business days after your file is approved, with shipping added on top. The product holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating across 22 reviews, so you can check what other buyers said before committing to a large run.
