What Are Plastic Hangtags

Plastic hangtags are durable, waterproof tags printed on rigid vinyl instead of paper, made to hang from products, luggage, tools, or plants without tearing or fading. At 4OVER4.COM they print full color on 20 point white rigid vinyl or 20 point frosted vinyl at a 2" x 3.5" size, each with a single 1/8" hole for string, ribbon, or a cable tie.

People reach for a plastic hangtag when a paper one would not survive the job: outdoor price tags, garden and nursery plants, luggage and gear, and industrial or equipment labels. The vinyl holds up to water, cold, and rough handling, and keeps its color and shape where a paper tag would turn soft. If you want a paper tag for indoor use instead, the Standard Hang Tags cover that, and the plastic version sits right beside it as the one built for the weather.

What Stock and Ink Can You Choose

Both stocks are 20 point rigid vinyl, so both are waterproof and tear resistant. The difference is the look, and the specs panel below lists both stocks and your ink coverage.

Two choices set how the tag looks.

Pick the vinyl that fits the job

The 20 point white rigid vinyl is opaque, so color and photos read bold, which makes it the right pick for retail price tags and strong branding. The 20 point frosted vinyl is translucent with a soft, glassy finish that reads high end, the kind of tag you tie to a boutique product or a gift. Both are the same tough thickness, so you never trade durability for the look you want.

Print the back too

You choose 4/0, which prints full color on the front and leaves the back blank, or 4/4, which prints full color on both sides. Printing the back is how you add care instructions, a barcode, pricing, or a second design, so a small tag carries everything a product needs without a second sticker.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. The blank plastic hangtag template is built at the real 2" x 3.5" trim size with the bleed, safe margin, and hole position already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the drill. Drop your art in and upload.

How Much Do Plastic Hangtags Cost

Plastic hangtags start at $174.65 per set of 100, about $1.75 per tag, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 5,000. A set of 500 is $185.63, 1,000 run $251.54, and 5,000 run $1,031.38, which works out to roughly $0.21 per tag at the top tier. Set the slider below to the number of products you price in a season to see the set total and the per-tag cost.

How Do Plastic Hangtags Compare to Paper Tags

A paper tag, a custom shape and a coated finish each start at their own price. The Die-Cut Hangtags add a custom outline, and the Gloss Laminated Hangtags give paper a tougher coated surface. The chart below lines up plastic hangtags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Them, and Can You Proof First

Plastic hangtags print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move to a 4 business day rush for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Not sure your file is ready? Ask for a free online proof and a real person checks your artwork before anything prints, which is the safe move for a first order. If your file is already press ready, send it straight to production and skip the wait. Either way, every order is backed by our Gold Standard guarantees.

What Do People Use Plastic Hangtags For

Because the vinyl is waterproof and tear resistant, a plastic hangtag goes places a paper tag cannot. Garden centers hang them from plants that get watered every day. Outdoor retailers price patio furniture and gear that sits in the sun. Travel brands tag luggage that gets thrown around, and warehouses label tools and machinery that see grease and rough handling. The same 2" x 3.5" vinyl tag covers all four jobs.

How the Tags Hang and Where the Hole Goes

Every tag gets one 1/8" hole drilled before it ships, and you choose where it sits.

• Top center: the tag hangs straight and square, which is what a retail rail or a price tag wants.
• Off to one side: the tag hangs at an angle from a handle, a stem or a corner, which suits a plant tag or a gift.

String, ribbon and a cable tie all pass through the same hole, so the fastening stays your call at the bench. The 20 point rigid vinyl is what makes that hole hold, since the body will not tear away from it the way a soaked paper tag does. Place the hole in the blank template before the artwork is finished, because the drill position is drawn in at the real 2" x 3.5" trim and your type has to clear it.
