Print a Tag That Survives the Weather
Rain, rough handling, and a week left outside are exactly what kills a paper tag. Build the body from rigid vinyl instead, roughly the thickness of a credit card, and it will not curl, soak through, or tear. Price patio furniture, tag plants at a garden center, or label tools in a warehouse, and the name and price stay readable long after paper would have failed. Plastic hangtags start at $174.65 for 100, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
These tags earn their price by lasting. They print full color, they fasten with string, ribbon, or a cable tie, and the waterproof vinyl does the hard part for you. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on hang tags printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 100 starts at $174.65, and the per-tag cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 5,000, so a full box for a retail season costs far less per tag than a small test batch.

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 shrugs off water, cold, and rough handling, so the tag that would turn to mush on paper keeps its color and shape. 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 two options plus your ink coverage are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Here are two easy ways to make a plastic hangtag pull its weight.
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.
Wally prints a tag that survives the weather
Why a plastic hangtag beats paper when the tag has to live outdoors.

A plastic hangtag is rigid waterproof vinyl, so it does not curl, soak, or tear the way a paper tag does. From $174.65 per 100, print full color on white or frosted vinyl, add a 1/8 inch hole, and hang it from plants, luggage, or gear. Wally gets your tags ready to face the real world.
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. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-tag cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How Do Plastic Hangtags Compare to Paper Tags
Plastic hangtags are the pick when the tag has to live in the real world, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a paper tag, a custom shape, or a coated finish, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. 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. One tough little tag, a lot of jobs paper simply cannot hold up to.

Plastic hangtags are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a paper tag, a custom shape, or a coated finish would serve you better, the rest of the hang tags family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.

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.
Plastic Hangtags: Frequently Asked Questions
Can plastic hangtags be used outdoors?
Yes, that is what they are built for. The 20 point rigid vinyl is waterproof and will not curl, soak through, or tear the way a paper tag does after rain or a week in the sun. Pricing patio furniture, tagging plants at a garden center, and labeling tools in a yard are typical uses.
What size are the tags and where does the hole go?
Each tag is 2 inches by 3.5 inches with a single 1/8 inch drilled hole. You choose whether that hole sits at the top center or off to one side, which changes how the tag hangs on the product. Decide based on how the tag reads once it is tied on.
What is the difference between the white and frosted vinyl?
Both are 20 point rigid vinyl. White is opaque, so colors print bold and solid, which is the right call for prices and stock codes that must read fast. Frosted is translucent and gives a softer, more refined look for retail and gift merchandise.
What is the minimum order and the cost per tag?
The minimum is 100 tags at $174.65, about $1.75 each. The per-tag price slides toward $0.21 as the run climbs to 5,000. Because the vinyl does not degrade in storage, ordering a deeper run of a generic tag design is a straightforward way to cut the unit cost.
How do I attach the tags to products?
The drilled hole takes string, ribbon, or a cable tie, so the fastening is up to you and the product. A cable tie is the usual pick for outdoor stock and tools, while ribbon suits retail and gift items. Rounded corners can be added so the tag has no sharp points.
How fast can I get plastic hangtags?
Standard production is 7 business days, with a 4 business day rush option when you need them sooner. A free online proof is available before printing. Shipping transit time is separate from the production option you pick.
Can I print information on the back of the tag?
Yes. You can print full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides. Two-sided is useful when the front carries the price and branding and the back carries care instructions, a SKU, or a QR code.
How thick are plastic hangtags?
They print on 20 point rigid vinyl, roughly the thickness of a credit card, in either white or frosted. That is what keeps the tag flat on a rail instead of curling, and it is why the drilled hole holds under a cable tie. Both stocks are the same thickness, so choosing between white and frosted is only about the look.
Can someone check my artwork before the tags print?
Yes. Ask for a free online proof and a real person checks the file before anything runs, which is the safe move on a first order. If the artwork is already press ready, send it straight to production and skip the wait. Either way the order is covered by the Gold Standard guarantees.
