Question

What is the bleed size requirement for hang tags?

Answer

Hang tags follow the same prepress setup as most printed cards. Add a bleed so trimming never leaves a thin white edge, keep critical content inside a safe margin, and build the file in CMYK so the printed colors match what you expect.

  • Bleed: extend backgrounds and images 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) past every trim edge.
  • Safety margin: keep text, logos, and the string hole a similar distance inside the trim line.
  • Color mode: set the document to CMYK rather than RGB for accurate print color.
  • Resolution: use images at 300 dpi at final size for crisp results.
