Why Maryland Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Hang Tags
Custom Hang Tags | Apparel, Jewelry & Retail Product Tags
Hang tags are the final brand communication touchpoint on a retail product — the small card attached by string, wire, or ribbon that communicates the brand's name, product information, price, and identity story at the moment of purchase consideration. Effective hang tag design uses the limited real estate of a 2×3.5 inch card to do significant marketing work: establish brand identity, communicate product positioning, provide care instructions, and create a tactile quality impression that influences purchase decisions.
Hang Tag Applications
- Apparel Hang Tags: Brand identity and care instruction tags for clothing, knitwear, and fashion accessories
- Jewelry Tags: Small tags with gemstone and metal information, care instructions, and brand identity
- Food and Beverage Tags: Artisan product tags on jam jars, hot sauce bottles, and specialty food products
- Candle and Fragrance Tags: Scent description and safety information tags on candle products
- Plant and Garden Tags: Instructional and brand tags for nursery and garden retail
- Gift Tags: Writeable gift tags for retail gifting product displays
Construction Options
Hang tags are produced in 14pt, 18pt, or 24pt chipboard depending on the rigidity and premium feel required. Punching options include standard round hole (3mm or 4mm), oval hole, and slot punch for specific attachment hardware. Attachment hardware includes baker's twine (for artisan products), natural jute string, satin ribbon, clear elastic loop, and gold or silver wire twist ties. Corner options include square, rounded (corner rounder), and die-cut custom shapes.
Hang Tag Design as Brand Storytelling
The hang tag's small surface demands efficient storytelling — every element must earn its place on a card that often measures less than 3×2 inches. The brand mark, essential product information, and a single compelling brand message are the core elements. Luxury fashion brands use hang tags as brief brand narrative vehicles: the founding year, the country of manufacture, the material provenance, and sometimes a founding philosophy that connects the customer to the brand's identity. For artisan food brands, the hang tag on a jar of jam communicates the farm, the harvest season, and the maker's name — a personal connection that commodity food packaging cannot create.
Premium Hang Tag Finishing
The hang tag finishing treatment communicates brand tier. Standard hang tags use full CMYK printing on 16pt chipboard — professional and complete. Premium hang tags add matte lamination (soft, premium feel) or gloss lamination (vivid, high-contrast). Ultra-premium hang tags add foil stamping on brand marks and embossed or debossed relief details that create tactile dimension. For luxury fashion and jewelry brands, the hang tag's quality signals the garment's price point before the price sticker is read — a physical quality cue that luxury consumers register unconsciously.

Hang Tags in Maryland — FAQs
What size are standard hang tags?
Common hang tag sizes include 2×3.5 inches (business card size), 2×4 inches, 2.5×3.5 inches, and 3×4 inches. Jewelry tags are typically smaller: 1×2 inches or 1.5×2.5 inches. We produce hang tags in any custom size within our printing format. Larger hang tags for artisan food and candle products sometimes use 3.5×5 or 4×6 inch formats.
What attachment methods are available?
Standard attachment uses baker's twine or jute string looped through the hang hole and tied to the product. Premium options include satin ribbon (for luxury fashion and gifts), gold or silver twist wire (for jewelry), clear elastic loop (for retail peg hook display), and adhesive spot (for direct application without string). We supply hang tags with or without pre-threaded attachment.
Can hang tags be double-sided?
Yes. Double-sided hang tags are standard — the front displays brand identity and product name, the back displays care instructions, material content, size, and additional product information. For food products, the back panel includes ingredient information, allergen declarations, and producer contact details.
Can I get custom-shaped hang tags?
Yes. Die-cut hang tags in any custom shape — leaf shapes for natural brands, logo-shaped tags, product outline shapes — are available. Custom die-cut tooling is produced for each unique shape. Standard shapes (rectangle, circle, oval) use shared tooling for faster turnaround and lower cost.
