Hang Tags

Custom Printed Hang Tags with String for Candles, Soap, Jewelry, and Beauty Brands

What hang tags are used for

A hang tag is a printed tag that hangs from a product on a loop of string or ribbon. Swing tags is the other common name, and the two mean the same thing. Branded hang tags carry your logo, the product name, a short line about it, and sometimes a price or a care note. Hang tags for products work on candles, bars of soap, jars, bottles, jewelry, bags, scarves, and clothing. Apparel brands made hang tags famous, but they work just as well on beauty, candle, and gift products, where the tag adds a branded finishing touch.

Sizes and how to measure

Tag size is written as width x height. A common hang tag is about 2 in x 3.5 in, and a small tag is about 1.5 in x 2.5 in. A tag for a candle jar or a soap bar is often about 2 in x 3 in. To choose a size, look at the product and the space where the tag will hang, and keep the tag small enough that it does not cover the product. Tell us your product, and we suggest a size.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Small tag: about 1.5 in x 2.5 in
• Standard tag: about 2 in x 3.5 in
• Large tag: about 3 in x 4.5 in
• Square tag: about 2.5 in x 2.5 in

Paper, hole, string, and finishes

Hang tags are printed on thick card stock, so they hold their shape and do not bend. A thicker stock feels firm and valuable, and a thinner stock costs less. Uncoated paper has a natural feel and takes pen well. Coated paper has a smooth surface that suits bright color. Kraft stock gives a brown, natural look. A hole is punched near the top for the string, and a reinforced hole helps a tag last. String choices include cotton, jute, ribbon, and elastic loops. Finishes include matte, gloss, soft touch, and foil. Ask for a sample kit and feel the stocks side by side.

Printing and finishing

Custom printed hang tags can be full color on one or both sides. A common layout puts your logo on the front, and the product name, details, or care notes on the back. Leave a clear space around the hole, so nothing is cut off. Keep the text large enough to read, and use a simple layout. Foil on the logo adds a metallic touch. For a range with many scents or colors, print one design for each product.

Hang tags for candles and soap

Hang tags for candles and soap are a popular way to finish a handmade product. A tag on a candle can show the scent name, the burn time, and your logo, and a tag on a soap bar can show the scent and the weight. Tie the tag to the jar or wrap it around the bar with string. Because each scent can have its own design, a small range looks organized on a shelf. You supply the text, and we print what you send.

Hang tags wholesale and for jewelry and beauty

Hang tags wholesale orders cost less per tag, and they suit brands that sell in many shops. Jewelry brands use a small tag on a bracelet or a necklace, and beauty brands use a tag on a bottle neck or a set. A tag with a loop of ribbon feels like a gift.

Text and content notes

If the tag carries product details such as price, size, materials, or care text, products have their own labeling rules, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for the content on your tags.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per tag, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the tag size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
