Custom Hang Tags
For Clothing & Apparel Brands

Deluxe hang tags on extra-thick cardstock (200-600 GSM) with matte laminate and spot UV or foil are the standard for fashion-forward and streetwear brands, the tag's tactile weight signals quality before the customer reads a word. Basic tags work for volume or back-stock packaging; the customer-facing tag should be deluxe. A brand selling at boutiques and pop-ups should present their product with a hang tag as refined as the clothing. Basic tags order on the page; for deluxe finishing, request a quote.

Sewn labels provide permanent brand identity and FTC-required care info that stay with the garment; hang tags serve the sale moment, price, brand positioning, and retail presentation. The strongest brands use coordinated woven neck labels and premium hang tags together for a coherent retail experience. Use the hang tag as a brand statement piece and the sewn label as the permanent identity marker. Order both together in one order.

Premium hang tags use 200-600 GSM cardstock (vs. 300 for standard), matte or soft-touch laminate, spot UV or foil stamping, and die-cut shapes beyond a standard rectangle. The combination of heavyweight stock and a custom die-cut shape is the single most impactful upgrade for shelf presence. Request a deluxe quote.

On your first hang tag, include the essentials: your brand name and logo, the retail price, and any size or product info, plus fiber content and country of origin if your product category requires it for US retail. Full-color both sides lets you carry brand story or artwork on the front and care/sizing on the back, and a QR code linking to your lookbook, drop page, or social is popular with NYC brands. Keep it tight, white space is a design choice.

Cost is minimal relative to the brand equity gained, lead with what a good tag does: it raises perceived value at the point of sale, signaling a brand worth its price before the customer reads a word.

Basic hang tags are full-color printed cardstock (300-350 GSM), affordable, fast, from 50 pieces, shipping with string and safety pins included. Deluxe adds the brand-moment options: 200-600 GSM stock, foil stamping, emboss/deboss, spot UV, matte/soft-touch laminate, custom die-cut shapes, grommets, and custom string. Basic for production runs; deluxe for the brand moment streetwear brands use when the unboxing/display experience is part of the product. Basic tags are priced on the page; deluxe finishing is quoted per spec.

Tags come with string (white, black, or natural) and safety pins (silver, gold, or gunmetal), no sourcing headaches; pick the hardware that matches your aesthetic and it's in the box. The string and pins are included at no extra charge on basic tags.

Premium streetwear brands lean on foil stamping, blind emboss/deboss, spot UV on a matte background, and custom die-cut shapes on heavyweight 200-600 GSM stock, the finishes that turn a hang tag into part of the unboxing or display experience. Foil + emboss on matte uncoated is the signature combo. Most brands pick 1-2 finishing operations; more isn't always better. Request a deluxe quote with your finish direction.

Yes. A QR code on the hang tag is a popular move for NYC fashion brands, linking to a lookbook, drop page, sizing guide, or social profile. Print it full-color on the back while the front carries your brand mark, and we'll confirm it scans cleanly on your free proof.

Yes. Custom die-cut hang tags in any shape are available (a deluxe finishing option), and a non-rectangular silhouette is one of the highest-impact upgrades for shelf presence.

A clothing tag hangs off the garment and comes off at first wear, while a label is sewn or pressed in and stays for the life of the piece. Custom clothing tags carry price, story, sizing, and the visual hit a customer sees on the rack. Labels carry the brand mark and the care and fiber content the law requires. Most finished pieces use both, and both start at low minimums here. Compare tags and labels.
