Why makers switch
What a maker gets from a die-cut display card
A hole where the hook goes
Die-cut, standard and shaped hangtags take a drilled 1/8 or 3/16 inch hole at top center, top left, top right or one of two side positions, and kraft hangtags a 1/8 inch hole at top center or left side middle, so the card hangs from a hook or a spinner rack.
Stock stiff enough to sell from
A display card that bends under a pair of earrings reads as costume-grade. Standard hang tags run up to 24pt ultra thick, and plastic hangtags are their own line.
Shapes beyond the rectangle
Die-cut hangtags come as a leaf, an oval, a half circle, a rounded card or a 2 or 2.5 inch circle, and shaped hangtags offer 80 more die-cut trims.
A finish that matches the metal
Metallic foil, velvet, suede and soft touch hangtags are their own lines, and kraft hangtags print on 18pt kraft with an optional white ink layer. The card is the jewelry's background, and the stock either flatters the piece or fights it.
Tags for the rest of the shop
Standard hang tags in 7 sizes from 2 by 2 to 4 by 6 inches cover the apparel and gift side of the same boutique.
Maker-friendly economics
The Etsy run and the wholesale order use the same card, priced down the tiers, with free samples and coins back on every order.
Design display cards that sell the pair
The card is part of the product
Shape and hole placement do the selling
On a spinner rack or a market table, customers see the card before the earrings register. A die-cut leaf, oval or circle makes the line recognizable at a distance, and the drilled hole, in one of five positions, lets the card hang level from a hook. The drilling service page shows the options.
Various sizes, finishes, and styles
Studs suit a 2 x 2 card, dangles a 2 x 3.5, statement pieces a 3 x 4, and standard hang tags cover all three sizes. Finishes tune the brand: kraft for handmade warmth, bright white for color-forward lines, soft touch and velvet for the luxury shelf, metallic foil where the branding should echo the metal. The same run can include standard hang tags for the boutique's apparel side.
Stock under the pair
Built to hold metal, not just ink
Jewelry is heavy relative to paper: posts tear thin stock and hooks bow it. Standard hang tags run up to 24pt ultra thick, and plastic hangtags are their own line for pieces that need more body.
A free proof confirms the shape, the hole and the color before the run. Hang your actual earrings on the free samples kit first, and decode any quote term in the printing terms glossary.
Hangs right
A drilled hole in one of five positions, sized 1/8 or 3/16 inch.
Rigid
Up to 24pt ultra thick on standard tags, and a separate plastic hangtag line.
Branded
Die-cut shapes, foil and velvet tag lines, at prices a maker's margin can carry.

Wally explains the display card switch
Your shape, your holes, your stock, and a smaller invoice
Wally treats an earring card like a tiny piece of retail engineering: the shape gets die-cut to the brand, the holes get drilled where the posts actually go, and the stock gets chosen by the weight of the pair. Then he prints the necklace cards and boutique tags in the same calibrated run, and lets the 110% price match keep the maker's margin intact. The grey-blob printer is still offering the same rectangle it offers everyone.

The verdict
The stronger choice for earring and jewelry display cards: die-cut shapes, heavier stocks and branded tag lines from one hangtag range.
Wholesale math
What a wholesale card run actually costs
Die-cut hangtags cost $36.26 for 100, $58.23 for 500 and $98.86 for 1,000, so a wholesale run drops from about 36 cents to under 10 cents a card. Die-cut hangtags hold 65 reviews at 4.9 and standard hang tags 92 at 4.8.

Display card questions
Common Questions
What makers ask before a run: holes come in 1/8" or 3/16" at five positions, cards run from 2" x 2" to 4" x 6", stocks go up to 24pt ultra thick, and 100 die-cut cards cost $36.26. Every other printing question sits on our FAQs hub.
What is a good Vistaprint earring cards alternative?
4OVER4.COM prints jewelry display cards as hangtags: die-cut hangtags in seven shapes, with a drilled hole in one of five positions, plus kraft, velvet, foil and plastic hangtag lines for the brand.
How do I set up the hole for hanging the card?
Pick the hole size, 1/8 or 3/16 inch, and the position: top center, top left, top right, left side middle or left side bottom. The drilled hole is for hanging the card on a hook or rack; plan the earring posts in the artwork and test a real pair on the free samples. The hole drilling service page shows the options.
What size should jewelry display cards be?
The common range runs 2 x 2 inches for studs, 2 x 3 or 2.5 x 3.5 (business card size) for dangles and hoops, and 3 x 4 for statement pieces or necklace-and-earring sets. Racks and spinner displays usually dictate a maximum width, and shipping boxes a maximum height. Order free samples first and hang your actual pieces on the card before committing the run.
Which stock works best for earring cards?
Weight first: heavier pairs deserve 24pt ultra thick or a plastic hangtag so the card does not bow. Then the look: kraft flatters handmade and boho lines, bright white shows off color, and velvet, soft touch and metallic foil tag lines read luxury next to plated metals.
What do custom earring cards cost and how are prices set?
Quantity, size, stock and shape set the price, and the price per card falls steeply at wholesale quantities. 4OVER4.COM will beat any competitor’s total price by 10 percent with our 110% Price Match Guarantee.
Can I print matching hang tags for the rest of the shop?
Yes. Standard hang tags come in 7 sizes from 2 by 2 to 4 by 6 inches on 20 stocks, so the apparel and gift side of the boutique can match the earring cards. Browse the full hang tags range to plan the set.
Do display cards really matter for jewelry sales?
At a craft fair or boutique, the card is the packaging, the price tag, and the brand impression in one, and it is what the customer carries home and sees again.
