Custom Product Tags and Price Tags for Small Business and Retail

What product tags are used for

A product tag gives the customer the facts about a product. It can show the name, the price, the size, the scent or color, the materials, and your logo. Price tags for products help shoppers at markets, in shops, and on shelves. Retail tags also help staff sort stock, because a clear tag shows the item at a glance. Branded product tags turn a plain label into part of the brand. Small business product tags are a low cost way to make handmade items look finished. Custom tags for packaging can also attach to a box, a bag, or a bottle.

Sizes and how to measure

Tag size is written as width x height. A common product tag is about 1.5 in x 2.5 in or 2 in x 3 in. A small price tag can be about 1 in x 2 in. To choose a size, count the lines of text, and look at where the tag will sit. Leave room for a hole, and for a price you may write by hand. 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 price tag: about 1 in x 2 in
• Standard tag: about 1.5 in x 2.5 in
• Large tag: about 2 in x 3.5 in
• Square tag: about 2 in x 2 in

Paper, hole, string, and finishes

Product tags are printed on thick card stock, so they stay flat and are easy to handle. Uncoated paper takes pen well, which suits a price you write by hand. Coated paper has a smooth surface that suits bright color and a clean look. 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. Product tags with string can use cotton, jute, ribbon, or elastic. Finishes include matte, gloss, soft touch, and foil. Ask for a sample kit and feel the stocks side by side.

Printing and finishing

Product tag printing works best with a clear layout. Put the logo and the product name at the top, then the details, then a space for the price. If you write the price by hand, choose an uncoated stock and leave a blank box or a line. If the price is printed, tell us the amount for each product. Keep the text large and simple, and leave a clear space around the hole. Use one design for each product, or one design for the whole range with a blank area for the name.

Price tags for products and retail tags

Price tags for products should be easy to read from a short distance. Use a large number, and keep the layout the same on every tag. Retail tags often include a product code or a size, which helps with stock. If prices change often, leave a blank area and write the price by hand. A printed tag with a blank price box lets you reuse the same design for the whole range.

Small business product tags and custom tags for packaging

Small business product tags help a handmade item look professional at a market, in a shop, or online. Pair a tag with a label for a complete look. Custom tags for packaging can tie to a box, a bag, or a bottle neck, and they can carry a short line about the product. You write the text, and we print what you send.

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.
