Pick a shape
Start with the outline. Every shape is cut to the size you give us, and each one links to its own page.
The parts of a hang tag, from hole to edge
Every tag we print is built from the same five parts. Knowing their names makes a quote faster, because you can tell us exactly what you want.
Each part is a decision you make once and then reorder without thinking. Our guide to strings, pins and loops for attaching tags covers the last step in more detail.
- Hole and grommet. A punched hole near the top. A metal grommet rings it so the string cannot tear through the card.
- String. Cotton, jute, satin ribbon or an elastic loop. We can tie it on before the tags ship.
- Front face. Your logo or brand name. This is the side a shopper sees on the rack.
- Back face. Price, care notes, sizing or a short line about how the item was made.
- Stock thickness. Measured in points. A 14 pt tag bends easily, and a 32 pt tag stands stiff on its string.
Stock thickness, from 14 pt to 32 pt
One point is a thousandth of an inch. A 16 pt tag is 0.016 inches thick, close to a sturdy business card.
Thicker card holds its shape on a busy rack and takes foil and embossing better. Thin card suits small tags, sale tags and anything you write on by hand.

| Stock | Relative thickness | Feel | Good match |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 pt cardstock | Light and flexible | Mini tags and sale tags | |
| 16 pt cardstock | Firm everyday weight | Clothing and gift tags | |
| 18 pt cardstock | Noticeably stiffer | Larger tags printed on both sides | |
| 24 pt cardstock | Rigid and solid | Foil and embossed logos | |
| 32 pt double-layer | Thickest we print | Edge painting and luxury tags | |
| Kraft board | Natural brown fiber | Handmade and eco lines | |
| Uncoated textured stock | Soft papery tooth | Stamped or handwritten details |
Papers and finishes you can combine
The stock sets the base color and texture. The finish changes how light hits the surface and how the tag feels between two fingers.
Mix them freely. A kraft tag with white ink and a pressed logo reads very differently from the same design on laminated white card. Our soft-touch silk laminated tags show one of the quieter combinations.
- White cardstockA clean base for full color
- Kraft boardBrown fiber that suits white ink
- Black stockA dark base for foil or white ink
- Textured uncoatedSoft tooth that takes a rubber stamp
- Matte laminationLow glare and fewer fingerprints
- Gloss laminationBrighter color with a slight shine
- Soft-touchA velvet feel in the hand
- Foil stampingGold, silver or copper that catches light
- Spot UVGlossy marks on a matte face
- Edge paintingColored edges on thick tags

Planning a hang tag, one decision at a time
What a hang tag does that a sticker label cannot
A hang tag hangs from the product on a string, loop or pin. It never touches the fabric, the glass or the finish, and it comes off clean at home.
Because it swings free, people pick it up and turn it over. That gives you two faces to print: your brand on the front, and care notes, sizing or a short story on the back.
Our range covers every hang tag shape we cut, plus sale tags, shipping tags and bottle neckers on the same stocks.
- Clothing and accessories hanging on a rack
- Candles, soaps and jars sold at markets
- Bottles of oil, syrup or sauce that need a necker
- Gift items where the tag doubles as a small card
Choosing a tag size from the product outward
Start with the item, not the logo. A tag should read at arm's length without hiding the thing it describes.
Small jars and jewelry often suit a tag near 1.5 x 2 inches. Apparel usually needs more room, around 2 x 3.5 inches, and a folded tag doubles the space without doubling the footprint.
Leave a clear margin around the punched hole, since a grommet takes up more room than a plain punch. Our hang tag sizes guide by product lists common measurements with notes on hole placement.
Card thickness and how a tag feels in the hand
Thickness is the first thing a shopper notices when they pinch a tag. We print on 14 pt, 16 pt, 18 pt, 24 pt and 32 pt cardstock.
Our thickest tags are two sheets laminated together. They stand stiff on the string and can take painted edges.
For natural or handmade goods, look at kraft board, uncoated textured stock or recycled-content stock. Our brown kraft tags with white ink show how a plain board can carry a brand.
Ink, foil and texture on each side of the tag
You can print one side or both, in full color CMYK or matched Pantone inks. On kraft or dark stock, white ink keeps a logo bright.
Finishes change the touch as much as the look. Soft-touch lamination feels velvety, while foil stamping and spot UV catch shop lighting.
Embossing and debossing add a raised or pressed logo you can feel with a thumb. Read about which paper and finish pairs work before you lock in a combination.
Strings, grommets and who ties them
Most tags get a punched hole, with or without a metal grommet to stop the string tearing through. Cotton string, jute, satin ribbon, elastic loops, safety pins and plastic loop pins are all options.
We can pre-attach strings, so the tags arrive ready to hang. That takes a slow job off your packing table.
Bottles need a different fit. Our custom bottle neckers for jars and bottles use a die-cut neck hole sized to your bottle.
