Hang tags that help your product
feel worth the price.

A custom hang tag — also called a swing tag — is a printed tag attached to a product with string, ribbon, or elastic. It carries branding, price, product details, care instructions, QR codes, barcodes, sizing, or origin story. At SilkCards, the string or ribbon is supplied and attached before shipping, so the tag arrives finished and ready to hang.

SilkCards builds hang tags from premium card-grade stocks — Silk, Suede, Cotton, Uncoated, and Onyx Black Suede — in layered constructions from 16pt up to 48pt. We have made premium tactile print since 1997, so the stock is chosen to match the product, the price point, and the impression you want the tag to create, not pulled from a generic tag-paper bin.

Yes — SilkCards supplies and attaches the string, ribbon, or elastic before the order ships, so you receive finished tags ready to hang rather than a box of loose parts. For apparel, the tag is typically looped through a buttonhole, sewn seam, or attachment tag; for bottles, boxes, and gifts it ties around the neck or handle. Choose the attachment during proofing.

Yes. Beyond rectangles, SilkCards produces die-cut hang tags in custom shapes and outlines, plus rounded corners and through-holes for string. Tags can be built on premium card stock or on plastic when a more durable, water-resistant tag is needed. The shape and material are matched to the product and how the tag will be handled.

Yes. Hang tags can be enhanced with foil, embossing, debossing, Spot UV, raised effects, and Edge Finishes — edges that are ink-sprayed or foil-pressed — in custom combinations. The right mix depends on the stock, the thickness, and the artwork, and finishes can be layered for a tag that feels like part of the product, not an afterthought.

SilkCards layers card-grade stock from 16pt up to 48pt, so a tag can be as substantial as the product deserves. For premium goods, yes — a thicker tag reads as more considered and helps support a higher price instead of quietly weakening it. For lighter items, a slimmer tag keeps the proportion right. Hold a sample to judge the weight.

Standard sizes are 2″ × 3″, 1.5″ × 3.5″, 2.5″ × 2.5″, 3″ × 4″, and 2″ × 6″, plus fully custom dimensions and die-cut shapes. The right size depends on the product: small tags suit jewelry, while larger formats suit apparel and bottles. We confirm the size against your artwork during proofing.

Yes. A strong hang tag often uses the front for brand impact and the back for the practical details: price, barcode, QR code, care or washing instructions, ingredients, sizing, or origin story. Both sides print in full, so one finished tag can do the branding and the operational work at the same time.

Both. Upload your own print-ready artwork, or use SilkCards Design Help to develop the tag from your logo and brand. These are finished, fully custom tags built to your design — not blank stock or a DIY kit — so size, shape, stock, and finishes are all set up for you. Design Help is the fastest route if the artwork is not ready yet.

Most hang tag orders complete production in 6 to 15 working days after artwork approval, plus shipping. Builds with multiple finishes, die-cut shapes, or custom attachments can take a little longer — a realistic timeline is confirmed during proofing, before the job goes to press, so the delivery date is set with you rather than guessed.

Orders typically run from 250 tags up to 10,000 and beyond, including wholesale and bulk runs, with multiple sets or designs in the same order. Larger quantities lower the per-tag cost, and custom quantities can be quoted quickly. Tell us the run size during proofing and we will confirm the best build for it.

Most tag printers work from a short list of stocks and a flat print. We build hang tags the way we build our business cards — on card-grade stocks like silk, suede, cotton and onyx, with foil, embossing, Spot UV, painted edges, custom die cuts and layered constructions up to a genuine 48pt. That means a tag that matches the product it hangs on rather than undercutting it, and it means the tag can carry the same finishes as the rest of your brand’s printed pieces. Every job is proofed before it prints, so what arrives is what you approved.

Yes, and it is strongly recommended when the decision depends on touch, thickness, foil, edge finish, or material feel. Hang tags are physical objects, so the best proof is holding one.
