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.
| Thickness | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14pt - 16pt | Sturdy, professional | Most retail and apparel tags |
| 18pt - 24pt | Rigid, substantial | Premium goods and heavier products |
| 32pt | Very thick, luxury feel | High-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.
