Custom Printed Hang Tags

Custom Printed Hang Tags for Fashion, Retail & E-Commerce Brands

Custom printed hang tags give fashion, retail, gift and e-commerce brands a dedicated space for their logo, product presentation and brand information directly on the item being sold.

Also searched as custom hang tags, printed hang tags, hang tags with logo, branded hang tags or custom swing tags, they can be attached to clothing, accessories, gifts and other retail products while keeping the brand visible before and after purchase.

Packonic's current range includes Parcel, Rectangular, Kraft and Folded hang tag formats. Verified key products are available from 250 pieces, with selected Parcel and Rectangular options using 300 GSM Uncoated Paper and Digital Printing.

What Are Custom Printed Hang Tags?

Custom printed hang tags are printed tags attached to products for branding, presentation or product communication.

Unlike a sticker, which is applied directly to a surface, a hang tag remains physically attached to the product using an appropriate attachment method. This makes it particularly useful for products where branding needs to stay visible without being printed or adhered directly onto the item.

Custom hang tags are commonly relevant to:

• clothing and fashion,
• bags and accessories,
• jewellery and gift products,
• home and lifestyle goods,
• boutique retail,
• handmade products,
• e-commerce orders,
• and branded product collections.

Can Hang Tags Be Printed With a Logo?

Yes. Hang tags can be custom printed with a logo, brand name or other artwork, allowing the tag to become part of the product's visual identity rather than a generic information label.

A printed hang tag can carry:

• company or brand logo,
• brand name,
• product collection name,
• short product information,
• size or variant information where appropriate,
• care or handling messages,
• website or social media details,
• QR codes where appropriate,
• or a simple branded graphic design.

The amount of information should be matched to the tag size. A hang tag works best when the main brand element remains easy to recognise rather than being crowded with too much small text.

Which Custom Hang Tag Should You Choose?

The right hang tag depends on how much information needs to be displayed, how the tag should look on the product and how prominent it should be.

Before choosing a format, consider:

• the size of the product,
• how much printed information is required,
• whether a White or Kraft appearance fits the brand,
• whether a Parcel or Rectangular format suits the design,
• whether additional folded space is required,
• logo orientation,
• and how the tag will sit when attached to the product.

Which Hang Tag Size Should You Choose?

Verified Packonic hang tag products currently include three main size options:

• 55 × 85 mm
• 98 × 98 mm
• 74 × 105 mm (A7)

55 × 85 mm Hang Tags

The 55 × 85 mm format provides a relatively compact rectangular surface.

It can suit:

• clothing,
• small fashion accessories,
• jewellery packaging,
• boutique products,
• or designs where the logo is more important than extensive product information.

98 × 98 mm Hang Tags

The 98 × 98 mm option provides a larger square surface and can be useful where the artwork itself plays a stronger role in the product presentation.

The wider format can provide more visual space for:

• large logos,
• brand storytelling,
• illustrations,
• collection graphics,
• or more prominent gift presentation.

74 × 105 mm A7 Hang Tags

The 74 × 105 mm A7 format gives more vertical space and can be useful when branding and additional information need to appear together on the same tag.

It can suit:

• fashion garments,
• product collections,
• retail accessories,
• gift products,
• and items requiring more information than a compact tag comfortably allows.

The best size is not automatically the largest. The tag should remain proportional to the product rather than overpowering it.

Parcel or Rectangular Hang Tags?

Packonic currently offers both Parcel and Rectangular hang tag formats.

Choose a Parcel Hang Tag When:

• the shape fits the overall packaging concept,
• the tag is intended to feel more like part of a gift or parcel presentation,
• the design benefits from a distinctive tag outline,
• or the packaging system already uses parcel-inspired visual elements.

Current options include Custom Hang Tag – Parcel and Custom Hang Tag – Parcel – Kraft.

Choose a Rectangular Hang Tag When:

• a conventional retail tag shape is preferred,
• the artwork is naturally vertical or rectangular,
• product and brand information need a straightforward layout,
• or the same format will be used across several product lines.

Current options include Custom Hang Tag – Rectangular and Custom Hang Tag – Rectangular – Kraft.

White or Kraft Hang Tags?

White and Kraft hang tags create different visual backgrounds for the same brand artwork.

White Custom Hang Tags

A lighter paper background can be useful when:

• the logo contains bright colours,
• strong artwork contrast is important,
• the brand has a modern or minimal identity,
• or the design uses several colours.

Kraft Custom Hang Tags

Kraft hang tags provide a more natural visual appearance and can suit:

• fashion and lifestyle brands,
• handmade products,
• artisan retail,
• gift brands,
• natural or earthy visual identities,
• and simple black or dark logo designs.

The correct choice should be based on brand appearance rather than assuming one background is more premium than the other.

What Material Are Packonic Hang Tags Made From?

Verified key Parcel and Rectangular Packonic hang tags use 300 GSM Uncoated Paper.

300 GSM provides a substantial card-like format compared with lightweight paper, making the tag suitable as a standalone product branding element rather than a thin paper insert.

Material weight should still be considered together with:

• tag dimensions,
• product weight and size,
• artwork,
• and how the tag will be attached.

A small accessory may benefit from a compact tag, while a coat, bag or larger gift product can visually support a bigger format.

How Are Custom Printed Hang Tags Printed?

Verified key Packonic Parcel and Rectangular hang tags use Digital Printing.

Digital printing makes it possible to place custom brand artwork directly onto the tag surface.

When preparing artwork, businesses should consider:

• logo visibility at the selected tag size,
• text size and readability,
• contrast against White or Kraft paper,
• whether the layout works vertically or horizontally,
• and whether information should be split between the front and back where the selected product supports the required design.

What Are Folded Hang Tags?

A folded hang tag provides more usable printed surface than a single flat tag because the design can extend across additional panels.

This can be useful when a business needs space for:

• brand storytelling,
• care information,
• product instructions,
• collection details,
• or additional customer communication.

Packonic also lists a Custom Folded Hang Tags option. Exact material, quantity and production specifications should be checked on that product before ordering rather than assumed from the flat Parcel and Rectangular formats.

Which Hang Tags Are Best for Clothing Brands?

For clothing and fashion, the most suitable hang tag is usually the one that stays proportional to the garment while providing enough room for branding and essential information.

A clothing brand may use:

• a compact 55 × 85 mm tag for simple logo-led presentation,
• a larger 74 × 105 mm format where additional information is required,
• a square 98 × 98 mm format for more design-led collections,
• or a folded tag where several panels are useful.

The tag should support the garment rather than distract from it.

Custom Hang Tags for Fashion & Apparel

Custom fashion hang tags can connect the product itself to the broader packaging identity.

They can be used on:

• T-shirts,
• shirts,
• dresses,
• jackets,
• children's clothing,
• accessories,
• bags,
• and other apparel products.

The same logo, colours and typography used on the hang tag can then continue through tissue paper, carrier bags and e-commerce packaging.

Custom Hang Tags for Boutiques & Retail Stores

Boutiques and independent retailers can use branded tags to make even relatively simple products feel visually connected to the store or brand.

A tag can remain visible:

• on the shop floor,
• during checkout,
• inside the retail bag,
• and after the customer takes the product home.

This makes a hang tag different from packaging that disappears immediately after the sale.

Custom Hang Tags for Gifts & Handmade Products

Gift and handmade products can also benefit from a separate branded tag, especially when direct printing on the actual product is not practical.

Hang tags can work with:

• candles,
• gift sets,
• craft products,
• accessories,
• decorative items,
• and seasonal products.

Kraft formats can be particularly compatible with natural or handmade visual identities, while White formats can support more colourful artwork.

Custom Hang Tags for E-Commerce Brands

E-commerce businesses can use hang tags to maintain product-level branding even after the product is removed from the shipping packaging.

An online order may combine:

• a hang tag attached to the product,
• custom printed tissue paper around the item,
• a sticker sealing the tissue,
• a thank-you card inside the parcel,
• and an outer shipping or mailer box.

This gives each packaging component a different purpose rather than repeating the same information everywhere.

Hang Tags or Stickers: Which Should You Use?

Hang tags and stickers perform different branding roles.

Choose a Hang Tag When:

• branding needs to remain attached to the product,
• the product should not have adhesive applied directly to it,
• a card-like presentation is preferred,
• or product information needs more space.

Choose a Sticker or Label When:

• the branding should adhere directly to packaging,
• tissue paper needs to be sealed,
• a box or bag needs a flexible logo element,
• or a low-profile label is more appropriate than a hanging tag.

Businesses requiring adhesive branding can explore Custom Stickers & Labels.

Hang Tags vs Thank You Cards

A hang tag stays with the product; a thank-you card usually sits separately inside the package.

Use a hang tag for:

• product branding,
• product-specific information,
• collection identity,
• or information that should remain physically connected to the item.

Use a Custom Printed Thank You Card when the message is primarily directed to the customer rather than the product itself.

What Is the Minimum Order for Custom Printed Hang Tags?

Verified Packonic Parcel and Rectangular hang tags currently start from 250 pieces.

This includes:

• Custom Hang Tag – Parcel,
• Custom Hang Tag – Parcel – Kraft,
• Custom Hang Tag – Rectangular,
• Custom Hang Tag – Rectangular – Kraft.

The 250-piece starting quantity can be useful for:

• new clothing brands,
• small retail collections,
• limited product launches,
• seasonal collections,
• gift ranges,
• and businesses testing a new hang tag design before moving to larger quantities.

Other hang tag formats should be checked individually rather than assuming the same MOQ across the whole collection.

Wholesale & Bulk Custom Hang Tags

Fashion and retail brands with stable product lines may eventually require wholesale custom hang tags or bulk printed hang tags.

Before increasing order quantity, calculate:

• number of products sold each month,
• how many tags are used per item,
• how many product collections use the same design,
• whether sizes or prices change frequently,
• seasonal collection changes,
• and available storage space.

A permanent logo-only tag can usually be reordered more consistently than a tag containing collection-specific or time-sensitive information.

How Should You Design a Hang Tag for Retail?

A successful hang tag should communicate quickly.

A practical hierarchy is:

• First: the brand or logo.
• Second: the most important product or collection information.
• Third: secondary details such as website, social account or QR code where required.

Do not make every element the same visual size. The customer should immediately understand which brand the product belongs to before reading smaller supporting information.

How Do Hang Tags Fit Into a Complete Retail Packaging System?

Hang tags work best when they share the same design language as the rest of the retail packaging.

For example:

• Hang tag: identifies and presents the product.
• Tissue paper: wraps and reveals the product.
• Sticker: seals or brands the wrapping.
• Paper bag: carries the retail purchase.
• Thank-you card: communicates directly with the customer.

For the wider packaging journey, businesses can return to the Custom Retail & E-Commerce Packaging collection.

Build a Complete Branded Retail Presentation

Custom Printed Tissue Paper can wrap apparel, gifts and accessories before they are placed in a bag or shipping box.

Custom Printed Paper Bags provide the outer carrier for in-store retail purchases.

Custom Stickers & Labels provide adhesive branding for tissue paper, packaging and product applications.

Custom Printed Thank You Cards provide a separate customer-facing insert for retail and e-commerce orders.

Custom Printed Hang Tags for Businesses Across Europe

Businesses sourcing custom printed hang tags in Europe should compare tag size, shape, material, paper weight, print method, artwork and MOQ rather than selecting only by price.

Packonic.eu provides branded hang tag options for European fashion, retail, gift and e-commerce businesses, including Parcel, Rectangular, Kraft and Folded formats.

A practical selection process is:

• identify the product the tag will be attached to,
• choose Parcel, Rectangular or Folded format,
• select an appropriate tag size,
• choose White or Kraft where relevant,
• prepare artwork around the available surface,
• check the exact product MOQ,
• and calculate quantities according to real product sales.

What Should You Check Before Ordering Custom Printed Hang Tags?

Before ordering custom printed hang tags, match the tag to both the product and the wider retail packaging system.

• Product type: clothing, accessory, gift, handmade product or another retail item.
• Format: compare Parcel, Rectangular and Folded options.
• Size: verified current flat options include 55 × 85 mm, 98 × 98 mm and 74 × 105 mm (A7).
• Material: verified key Parcel and Rectangular formats use Uncoated Paper.
• Paper weight: verified key products use 300 GSM.
• Colour: compare White and Kraft presentation where available.
• Printing: verified key products use Digital Printing.
• Artwork: keep the logo readable and avoid overcrowding smaller tag formats.
• Information: decide what must remain physically attached to the product.
• MOQ: verified Parcel and Rectangular products currently start from 250 pieces.
• Related packaging: coordinate the tag with tissue paper, stickers, paper bags and thank-you cards.

Custom printed hang tags work best when tag shape, size, material, artwork and product presentation are designed together. By choosing a tag that fits the actual product rather than treating it as a generic label, fashion and retail brands can create a stronger product identity that stays visible from the shop floor or parcel opening through to the customer's final use.
