Question

What paper thickness works best for Hang Tags?

Answer

Hang tag thickness is a balance between durability and the impression you want to make. Because a tag hangs off a string and gets handled repeatedly, it needs enough rigidity to survive shipping and the sales floor without curling or creasing.

ThicknessFeelBest for
14pt - 16ptSturdy, professionalMost retail and apparel tags
18pt - 24ptRigid, substantialPremium goods and heavier products
32ptVery thick, luxury feelHigh-end and boutique branding
  • 32pt stock is roughly three times the thickness of a standard card and feels hefty between the fingers.
  • Heavier tags resist curling on humid sales floors and hold up better on strung displays.
