Cheap Hang Tag Printing

Per-tag price depends on tag size, stock weight, finish, quantity, and whether hole drilling is included. Use the calculator to see your exact total. Pricing drops notably at higher quantities, so ordering for a full season or product line at once typically costs less per tag than placing multiple small reorders throughout the year.

2x3.5 inches suits most apparel hang tags with enough space for a logo, price, and size on the front. Larger 2.5x4.5 or 3x4.5 inch formats give room for a care symbol chart, fabric content, and a brand story or QR code on the back panel, making them popular for mid-range and premium clothing lines.

14pt gloss cover is the everyday standard for retail hang tags: stiff, colorful, and resistant to scuffing on display hooks. Choose 16pt matte when your brand aesthetic calls for a heavier, softer-touch tag that feels substantial in hand and survives handling in fitting rooms and warehouse picking environments.

Yes. Standard hole drilling is available and selected in the calculator. We position the hole on your digital proof relative to your artwork and attachment method. Standard drill diameter fits most ribbon, cotton cord, and plastic safety-pin fasteners commonly used in retail tagging and production-line garment attachment.

Yes. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders. Send your logo, brand colors, size, price, care symbols, and any barcode or QR code data. Our designers compose front and back panels with correct proportions, then email a digital proof for your review and approval before printing begins.

Yes. Double-sided printing is standard for hang tags. The front typically carries the logo and price; the back carries care instructions, fabric content, a QR code, or barcode. Select two-sided printing in the calculator and supply art for both sides, or use Free Design Setup for a complete layout.

Gloss coating makes photos, gradients, and vivid brand colors pop under retail lighting and on outdoor market displays. Matte coating projects an upscale, tactile quality popular with boutique and artisan brands. Both finishes hold up well during normal retail handling. Add UV lamination over gloss for maximum scuff resistance on premium lines.

Standard production runs from proof approval and ships within a few business days. Rush production tiers appear in the calculator when you have a tight launch date or trade show deadline. Enter your zip code at checkout for carrier transit time estimates. Pair rush production with express shipping for the fastest delivery.

Yes. We email a digital proof for every hang tag order before production starts. Review hole placement, barcode and QR code zones, small care symbol accuracy, and text legibility on the proof. We do not proceed to print until you send written approval, protecting you from errors on bulk production runs.

Bleed is artwork extended 0.125 inch past all four trim edges so the finished tag has clean, color-to-edge printing after cutting. Keep logos, barcodes, and care text inside the safe zone, at least 0.125 inch in from the trim line. The hole drill area should also be clear of critical text and barcodes.

Minimum quantities vary by size and finish option; enter your quantity in the calculator to see pricing tiers. Small boutiques and independent designers often start at 100 to 250 tags for initial inventory. Reordering from archived art takes less than 24 hours to process, making small reorders fast and simple.

Yes. Multiple design versions are common for different sizes, SKUs, or color variants within a product line. Configure versions in the calculator, or contact our team for a quote on complex multi-version splits. Each version receives its own digital proof before production to confirm accuracy across your full tag set.

Thick cardstock hang tags with drilled holes are the standard for boutique apparel lines. They reinforce brand story at the rack, survive handling in fitting rooms and logistics, and create a better unboxing experience than plain sticker labels. Glossy tags on ribbon elevate perceived value and signal brand intentionality to shoppers.

Yes. We print in Florida and ship hang tag orders to all 50 states. Tags are packed flat to prevent bending during transit. Enter your zip code at checkout to see carrier transit estimates and available shipping speeds. Flat-rate shipping is available on qualifying order sizes.

Standard hole drilling uses a diameter that fits common retail ribbon, cotton cord, and safety-pin fasteners. We position the hole on your digital proof so it clears artwork margins by an appropriate amount and aligns with your attachment method. Custom hole placements or multiple holes can be requested before production.

Yes. We place barcodes and QR codes on your chosen panel and verify visual scanability on the digital proof before the full run prints. Provide the barcode data or QR URL in your order notes. We size barcodes to scan reliably in retail POS environments and QR codes to scan with standard smartphone cameras.

Print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and CMYK color at 300 DPI is the preferred format. We also accept Adobe Illustrator AI, layered PSD, and high-resolution PNG or JPG. Vector formats give the sharpest text and barcode edges, especially important on small 2x3.5 inch tags where type can be very small.

No. Competitive pricing comes from efficient gang-run press scheduling and volume purchasing of cardstock, not from reducing paper weight or skipping quality checks. You receive real 14pt or 16pt cover stock, sharp CMYK color, drilled holes, and human proof review on every order regardless of quantity.

Yes. Provide Pantone references, hex values, or CMYK breakdowns and we tune the digital proof output to match your brand standards as closely as CMYK commercial printing allows. For exact Pantone matching, ask about spot color availability on your order size. We show a color-accurate proof before the full run.

Raster photos and graphics should be 300 DPI at final print size for clean, sharp output. Logos supplied as vector AI or EPS files scale to any size without resolution loss and are ideal for small hang tags. We flag low-resolution images on your digital proof before production begins.

No hidden setup fees on standard hang tag orders. Free Design Setup, hole drilling coordination, and digital proof review are included on qualifying jobs. The calculator total is the print price for your selections. Rush handling and premium finishes like UV lamination are optional add-ons listed clearly before checkout.

Production is the time from proof approval until finished tags leave our facility, typically a few business days. Shipping is the carrier transit time after dispatch. Both timelines are shown at checkout so you can confirm your total delivery estimate before a product launch, trade show, or seasonal inventory deadline.

Standard rectangular hang tags with rounded or square corners cover the majority of retail apparel needs. Die-cut custom shapes are available for brands that want distinctive silhouettes like circles, teardrops, or brand-specific outlines. Contact our team for a die-cut quote and we confirm feasibility and pricing before you order.

Most clients attach hang tags using cotton or satin ribbon, jute twine, or plastic safety-pin fasteners through the drilled hole. We position the hole on the proof to clear your artwork by a comfortable margin and fit standard tag gun needle diameters for fast attachment in production environments.

Yes. Kraft and natural-tone colored stocks are available in the calculator when in production. Ink colors and contrast behave differently on kraft stock compared to white cardstock, and we verify legibility on your digital proof. Earth-tone colors on kraft stock are popular for organic, sustainable, and artisan brand aesthetics.

Yes. A reinforced grommet can be added around the hole for tags that see repeated handling on a display rack, giving extra strength where the string or plastic loop attaches. Standard drilled holes work fine for most retail and gift tags; grommets are a good upgrade for heavier cardstock or frequently reused tags.
