A hang tag is the little swing ticket attached to a garment — and it does a lot of work: it carries your brand, the price, sizing, and your story right at the point of sale. This guide covers custom hang tag sizes, materials, and design ideas to help your products stand out on the rack.
What goes on a hang tag?
- Your logo and brand name (front).
- Price, size, SKU, or barcode.
- Materials, care, or a short brand story (back).
- Website / social handle and a QR code (optional but smart).
Common hang tag sizes
There’s no single standard, but popular sizes run from about 2×2 in (compact, square) to 2×3.5 in (business-card style) and 1.5×4 in (tall and slim). Bigger tags give room for a story; smaller tags feel minimal and modern. We can produce any custom size and shape.
Materials & finishes
- Cardstock — the classic; choose a weight (heavier feels premium).
- Kraft / recycled — natural, eco, handmade vibe.
- Coated / matte / gloss — durability and look.
- Finishes — foil stamping, embossing, spot UV, rounded corners, die-cut shapes.
How are hang tags attached?
Most use a punched hole with string, cotton twine, elastic, or a plastic/safety-pin fastener. Twine reads premium and eco; plastic loops are fast for high volume.
Hang tag design ideas
- Double-sided: logo on front, story or care on back.
- Add a QR code linking to your shop or care instructions.
- Match the tag color to your woven neck label for a cohesive brand.
- Use a die-cut shape (circle, scallop, tag-with-notch) to stand out.
Pair it with a label
Hang tags work best alongside a sewn-in brand label. See our small-business guide and design guide to build a complete branded package.
