Hang Tags Printing

Custom Hang Tags in 33 Styles

A hang tag hangs from clothing, a candle, a bottle or a handmade good and names the maker before the package is opened. This category holds 33 tag styles, from everyday Standard Hang Tags to Premium Prestige Hangtags, so the tag can match the product and its price point.

Hang Tag Sizes, Stocks and Production Times

The table lines up five tag families with their sizes, stocks and starting runs.

Tags for Every Product and Use Case

The range covers far more than fashion. Hang Tags for Clothing and Retail Hang Tags handle apparel and store inventory, Shoe Hang Tags fit footwear displays, and Bottle Neck Hang Tags wrap the neck of wine, spirits, hot sauce, and craft beverages at 2.125 by 5 inches. Barcodes can print right on the tag, which keeps pricing and stock control on the product itself.

For a more distinctive look, Shaped Hangtags and Die-Cut Hangtags cut into circles, ovals, leaves or a custom silhouette, while Folded Hang Tags open from 3 by 3 up to 8.5 by 11 inches for extra copy.

Materials and Finishes That Set the Tone

Stock sets the feel of the tag. The range runs from 13pt card on Standard Hang Tags to 32pt, 48pt, 64pt and 80pt on Premium Prestige, Soft Touch, Black and Ultra Thick Kraft Hangtags, and 40pt to 64pt on Layer Cake Hangtags, plus linen, metallic pearl and 18pt kraft.

Finish is where personality shows up. Soft Touch Hangtags feel velvety in the hand, Spot UV Hangtags and Raised Spot UV Hangtags add glossy accents against a matte field, and Metallic Foil Hangtags, Holographic Hangtags, and Diamond Glitter Hangtags catch the light for a premium shelf presence.

Short Runs and Bulk Runs

100 Standard Hang Tags cost $28.56, so you can test a new product line, print one tag per scent or size, or run a variable barcode on each tag without paying for a big run.

Once a design is proven, the price per tag falls with volume: 1,000 Standard Hang Tags cost $76.88, 10,000 cost $395.42 and 100,000 cost $3,130.37, about 3 cents each. Order the test batch first, then reorder the winner in bulk.

Holographic and Foil Hang Tags

Holographic Hangtags print on 16pt silk, gloss or velvet laminated card at 2 by 2, 2 by 6, 2.5 by 2.5 or 4 by 6 inches, from 100 for $186.73, with options for foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, edge painting and a die-cut shape.

Metallic Foil Hangtags put gold, silver, copper, rose gold, red, black or blue foil on 16 point silk laminated card, on the front, the back or both, from 500 for $257.38. Keep the foil to the logo or a border, and leave the price and care text in ink.

Coating Options for Hang Tags

Standard Hang Tags come with a standard finish or High Gloss UV coating. High Gloss UV makes colors brighter, but a pen will not write on it, so skip it if staff mark prices by hand. Uncoated stocks take pen and pencil.

For a laminated surface, Silk, Velvet, Suede and Gloss Laminated Hangtags seal 16 point card under film that stands up to handling on the sales floor. Aqueous coating, a water-based layer some printers use, is not on the hang tag option lists, so the choice here is UV, lamination or neither.

Shapes, Holes and Recycled Stocks

Tags are drilled with a 1/8 inch hole, and the card styles also offer 3/16 inch, for string, ribbon or a plastic fastener. Rounded corners and set outlines such as a leaf, an oval or a circle come on Die-Cut Hangtags, and Shaped Hangtags cut to your own outline.

Recycled Hang Tags offer 30% and 100% post-consumer waste stocks, Kraft Hangtags print on 18pt kraft made from 100% post-consumer waste, and Ultra Thick Kraft Hangtags go up to 80pt on the same recycled kraft.

Using Both Sides of the Tag

Put the logo and brand name on the front, then use the back for care instructions, the price, a barcode or social handles. Standard Hang Tags print 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4, and Black Hangtags print in white ink or CMYK plus white.

Minimum Runs by Tag Style

Standard, Premium Prestige, Black, Layer Cake and Ultra Thick Kraft Hangtags start at 50 tags. Silk, Velvet, Suede and Gloss Laminated, raised, die-cut and plastic tags start at 100, Metallic Foil, Metallic and Silk Laminated Spot UV Hangtags at 500, and Spot UV Hangtags at 1,000. A free digital proof is available before the run prints.
