Jewelry Hang Tags

Custom Jewelry Hang Tags for Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings, and Rings

What jewelry hang tags are used for

A hang tag is the smallest piece of branding that stays on the jewelry. It hangs from a chain, a bracelet, a ring band, or an earring card, and it tells the buyer who made the piece. Jewelry hang tags are used for price, brand name, collection name, material, size, care tips, and a social handle or a web address. They also work as a thank you tag on a gift. Makers, small brands, boutiques, and market sellers use custom jewelry hang tags on every piece, whether it is sold loose, in a pouch, on a card, or in a box. A tag costs little, takes no space, and makes a simple piece look finished.

Sizes and how to measure

Jewelry tags are small. Decide where the tag will hang and how much it must say. A tag on a ring or a fine chain should be small, about 1 inch wide. A tag on a bracelet or a necklace can be larger, with room for a logo and a care note. Leave a margin of at least 1/8 inch around the text and the hole. If the tag is tied to a thin chain, keep its weight low so it does not drag the piece. Send us the size and the hole position and we build the dieline.

Example sizes (examples only, width x height in inches; your jewelry sets the final size):

• Ring or fine chain tag: 0.75 x 1.5
• Standard jewelry tag: 1 x 2
• Necklace or bracelet tag: 1.25 x 2.5
• Large tag with a care note: 2 x 3.5
• Folded tag with a price inside: 1.5 x 2 closed

Tag styles and shapes

A flat single tag is the simplest style, with a logo on the front and details on the back. A folded tag opens like a small card, with the logo outside and the price and care note inside. A rectangle with rounded corners is the most common shape. Die-cut shapes such as a circle, an arch, a tag with a notched top, a heart, or a leaf can match your brand. A tag can have one hole at the top or a slit that holds a ring band. A tag can also be punched with two holes to sit flat on a bracelet. Custom jewelry hang tags can be sold with a jewelry card or alone.

Materials and thickness

A tag needs a firm board so it does not curl, so we use thick paperboard of about 350 to 450 GSM. White board gives bright print, and kraft board gives a natural look. Black or colored stock gives contrast for foil. A smooth uncoated board suits a handmade style, and a coated board suits a sharp, glossy look. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order. Every tag uses eco-friendly materials sourced from certified suppliers, and recycled paperboard and kraft board are available.

Printing, coatings, and finishes

Print full color CMYK or match your brand with Pantone spot colors, on the front only or the front and back. A one color print in black or white looks clean on kraft. A matte coating looks calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel. Foil in gold, silver, or rose gold picks out a logo or a border, and embossing and debossing add texture without ink. Spot UV can add a gloss accent. Jewelry hang tags with a foil logo on a dark tag are a common choice for fine pieces, and a plain kraft tag with a stamped logo suits a handmade line.

Holes, string, and attachment

Every tag is punched with a hole, and the hole size and position are set on the dieline. A round hole at the top suits a string, and a slit or a notch suits a ring band. For attachment, choose cotton string, twine, satin ribbon, or an elastic loop. The color of the string can match your brand. Tags can come with the string attached, or plain with a hole, so you can tie them yourself. A short string loop hangs well from a chain, and a long ribbon suits a gift. Test the length with the sample kit so the tag sits where you want it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline with the tag shape, the hole, and the fold line marked. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. Keep text large enough to read on a small tag. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the front, the back, and the logo area from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
