Question
What's the difference between hang tags and product labels?
Answer
Hang tags and product labels both carry branding, but they attach differently and serve different jobs, so the right one depends on how you want shoppers to interact with it.
| Feature | Hang tags | Product labels |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Hang from string or a fastener | Adhesive, stuck directly on |
| Removable | Yes, easily detached | Meant to stay put |
| Visibility | Prominent, swings free | Flat against the product |
| Best for | Branding and point-of-sale impact | Permanent identification and info |
Use hang tags when you want a standout branded piece a customer removes at purchase, and labels when you need durable, always-on information on the package itself.
