Give Every Product a Tag With a Colored Core
On a crowded rack, a colored edge is the first thing a shopper sees from the side. Layer cake hangtags start at $33.72 for 50, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 61 reviews. It is a thick tag cut from layered stock, with a colored core sandwiched between the printed outer layers, so a bright stripe of color shows along every cut edge. Tag apparel in a boutique, price a shelf or finish a gift, and the edge color can match your brand before anyone turns the tag over.
The tags print full color on 40pt to 64pt covers, arrive drilled with a 1/8" or 3/16" hole ready for string, and carry one of 11 core colors at the edge. To compare layer cake with the rest of the lineup, browse every style on hang tags printing, or build yours from the choices below.
Fifty tags for a craft fair table and 5,000 for a season of apparel sit on the same 15 tiers, and the season costs far less per tag. Each tier below shows the live total and what the step up saves.
What Are Layer Cake Hangtags
Layer cake hangtags are thick hang tags cut from layered stock, with a colored center core that shows as a stripe along every cut edge. At 4OVER4 they print full color in 6 sizes, from a 2" x 2" square up to a 2" x 6" tag, on 4 heavy covers, with the size, core color, ink and hanging hole all set in the live configurator.
We press a colored core between two printed outer layers and cut the tag, so the core shows at the edge the way filling shows in a cut cake. Match the core to your label color for a product line, or pick a contrast shade so the tag stands out on a white shirt. You print your logo and details full color on the front, choose the size and the drilled hole, and the price updates as you build. If you want a similar premium weight without the striped edge, the Premium Prestige Hangtags cover that, and layer cake is the version with a colored core.
What Size Should a Layer Cake Hangtag Be
Pick the size by the product it hangs on. A 2" x 2" square suits a small gift or a price tag. A taller 2" x 3.5" or 2" x 6" tag gives room for a story, care details or a barcode, and the 2.5" x 2.5" and 3" x 3" squares sit in between. For a size in between, set a custom size up to 3" x 6" in the configurator. Every tag ships ready to hang, drilled with a single 1/8" or 3/16" hole placed top center, top left or top right, so your string or ribbon threads exactly where you want it. The specs panel below lists all 6 sizes, both hole options and the full stock list. For a die-cut shape instead of a straight rectangle, the Die-Cut Hangtags take the same idea into custom outlines.
What Stocks and Center Colors Can You Choose
A layer cake hangtag prints on 4 thick covers. The 48pt and 64pt UltraWhite Uncoated covers give a natural, writeable surface, while the 40pt and 56pt Gloss covers make color and photos snap. The center core comes in 11 colors, from black to blue raspberry, lemon drop and pacific breeze, and it shows as a clean stripe on every cut edge. For a plain edge, leave the core off. Set your ink to 4/0 for a printed front and blank back, 4/1 to add black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. If you want a soft, velvety hand instead of a colored edge, the Soft Touch Hangtags are another premium pick in the same family.
If you already have artwork, download the layer cake hangtag blank template instead. It is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin drawn in, so your logo stays clear of the cut and of the 1/8" or 3/16" hole at the top. Drop your art in and upload.

How Do Layer Cake Hangtags Compare to Other Tags
If you are weighing layer cake hangtags against a thicker premium stock, a custom die-cut shape or a softer finish, the chart below lines up the closest siblings with the starting price of each.
How Fast Can You Get Layer Cake Hangtags
Layer cake hangtags print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a launch or a restock sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Order by the daily cutoff and a Same-Day job ships that afternoon. You pick the turnaround in one dropdown and see the cost before you commit.
What Do People Use Layer Cake Hangtags For
Boutiques hang them on apparel with the brand on front and a care note on back. Makers tie them to candles, soap and ceramics as a signed touch. Online shops use them as premium gift tags tucked into every order. Real estate agents tie them to the small gifts they drop off at a client's door, and our realtor pop-by ideas pair a gift with each tag. String, ribbon or twine threads through the drilled hole, and the core color ties the whole line together. A candle maker can run one core color across the whole line and change only the printed scent name.

Layer Cake Hangtags: Frequently Asked Questions
Do layer cake hangtags come with the hole already drilled?
Hole drilling is an option in the configurator, along with a choice of drilling position, so the tags can arrive ready to string and hang. Pick the position that suits your tag layout, usually a top corner or the top center. If you would rather punch them yourself, you can leave the drilling off.
What sizes do these hang tags come in?
There are six sizes, from a 2" x 2" square up to a tall 2" x 6" tag, and custom sizing goes up to 3" x 6". Small squares suit price tags on a shelf, while the long shapes carry care instructions or a story on the back. Set your size first, since the drilled hole position depends on it.
How thick is the stock?
Four heavy stocks are offered: 48pt and 64pt UltraWhite Uncoated Cover, plus 40pt and 56pt Gloss Cover. All of them are thick enough for the colored core to show as a clear stripe along every cut edge. The uncoated options take a pen if you write sizes or prices by hand.
Can I choose the color of the stripe on the edge?
Yes. Eleven seam colors are available for the center core, and you can also leave it plain if you want a solid edge. The stripe shows on every cut edge, so it works as a brand color cue before anyone reads the tag.
What is the minimum order and what do they cost?
The smallest run is 50 tags at $33.72. The per-tag price slides toward about $0.21 as the quantity climbs to 5,000, so a full season of stock costs far less per piece than a small test run. They hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 61 reviews.
How quickly can I get them?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 2 day, next day, and same day rush options for tight deadlines. Rush covers production, so add transit for the shipping method you choose. A proof option is available if you want to check the file before printing.
