Hang Tags
Garment Hang Tags
Custom garment hang tags for clothing brands with custom sizes, paper stocks, printing, finishing and string options for product information and brand presentation.
Custom Garment Hang Tags for Clothing Brands
Garment hang tags give customers useful product information while also supporting the presentation of the clothing item.
They can be used for brand information, product details, sizing, pricing, barcodes, QR codes, care information or other details that need to stay with the garment before purchase.
The size, paper, printing and attachment should be selected according to the amount of information on the tag and how it will be attached to the garment.
What Can Be Included on a Garment Hang Tag?
Depending on the product and brand, a garment hang tag may include:
- Brand name or logo
- Product name or collection
- Size information
- Price
- Barcode
- QR code
- Website or social information
- Material or care information
- Country-of-origin information where required
- Other product-specific details
If you are deciding how much information to include, see our guide on what fashion designers should put on a hang tag.
Materials
Garment hang tags can be produced using different paper stocks depending on the desired appearance, thickness and printing requirements.
Common options include:
- Coated paper
- Uncoated paper
- Kraft paper
- Textured paper
- Specialty paper
- Recycled paper
- Black or colored cardstock
Paper thickness should also be considered together with the tag size, hole position and attachment method rather than selected on appearance alone.
Printing and Finishing
Printing and finishing can be selected according to the artwork and desired appearance.
Options can include:
- CMYK printing
- Pantone color printing
- Foil stamping
- Embossing
- Debossing
- Spot UV
- Die cutting
- Matte or soft-touch finishes
Not every tag needs multiple finishing processes. For simple designs, paper texture, typography and spacing can sometimes have more visual impact than adding extra decoration.
Strings and Attachment Options
The attachment should suit both the garment and the way the tag will be handled in retail.
Options can include:
- Cotton string
- Waxed cord
- Ribbon
- Elastic string
- String with plastic fastener
- Metal eyelet
- Custom attachment combinations
Hole position and string length should be confirmed before production, especially when the artwork is close to the edge of the tag.
Applications
Custom garment hang tags can be used for:
- T-shirts
- Shirts
- Dresses
- Denim
- Knitwear
- Jackets
- Sportswear
- Children's clothing
- Fashion accessories
- Boutique and designer collections
Different garments may require different tag sizes, materials or attachment methods. A heavy jacket, for example, may not need the same tag construction as lightweight children's clothing.
What to Check Before Production
Before approving garment hang tags for production, confirm:
- Finished tag size
- Paper type and thickness
- Printing colors
- Hole position
- String or attachment
- Barcode or QR code readability
- Foil, embossing or debossing areas
- Quantity
- Packing requirements
Artwork should also be checked at the actual finished size before sampling. Our hang tag artwork checklist covers the main points to review before production.
