Hang a Tag People Reach Out to Touch
A spot UV hangtag makes a product look worth more before anyone reads a word. The trick is the finish, a clear gloss laid over specific parts of the front, so your logo or title turns shiny while the rest of the tag stays smooth. That contrast catches the light on a rack and catches a fingertip in the hand. Every tag prints on 16pt gloss cover with a 1/8 inch hole drilled for your string, ready to hang the day it lands, and 1,000 start at $141.70.
These tags punch above their size. They cost a few cents each in a full run, they hang off anything with the drilled hole, and the spot UV does half the branding for you. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the family? Browse every option on hang tags printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A batch of 1,000 starts at $141.70, about 14 cents a tag, and the per-tag cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 25,000, so a full season of stock costs far less per tag than a small first batch.

What Are Spot UV Hangtags?
Spot UV hangtags are printed retail tags finished with a glossy spot UV coating on the front, printed full color on 16pt gloss cover stock in 7 sizes, each drilled with a single 1/8 inch hole for string. People reach for them when a plain tag would undersell the product: clothing and apparel tags, boutique product tags, price tags, gift tags, and brand tags on handmade goods. Because the gloss sits only on the parts you choose, the tag reads as considered instead of generic. If you want the tactile version where the gloss stands up off the surface, the Raised Spot UV Hangtags take the same idea further, and the plain Standard Hang Tags sit beside it as the value baseline.
What Size Should a Spot UV Hangtag Be?
The right size comes down to how much the tag needs to say and how it hangs. The default 1.5" x 3.5" is a classic tall tag that threads onto a clothing string cleanly. A 2" x 2" square works for a compact logo tag, while a 2" x 3.5" or 2" x 4" gives you room for care instructions, a price, or a QR code. The largest preset runs 3.5" x 3.5" for a bold square, and there are 7 presets in all between those points. All 7 sizes, the ink options, and the spot UV and hole settings are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. Need something outside the set? A custom size up to 4" x 6" is available too.
Here are a few easy ways to make a spot UV hangtag pull its weight.
Put the gloss where it counts
Spot UV works best on one clear idea. Lay the gloss over the logo or the product name and leave the background matte, so the shine has something to contrast against. On 16pt gloss cover the effect stays sharp, and a small photo or mark snaps under store lighting. If you want that premium weight to carry across a whole order with a soft, silky base, the Silk Laminated Spot UV Hangtags pair a silk lamination with the same spot gloss.
Use both sides of the tag
A hangtag has a front and a back, so put them both to work. Print full color on the front with your logo and the spot UV, then choose 4/1 to add black care details or a barcode to the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. The drilled hole means the tag reads from either direction once it is hanging, so the back is never wasted.
Grab a press-ready blank
Already have your artwork? Skip the guesswork and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank spot UV hangtag template is built at the real trim size with the bleed, safe margin, and drilled hole position already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the hole. Grab the size that matches your order, drop your art in, and upload.
Wally makes a plain tag look premium
Why a glossy spot UV front turns a 14 cent tag into a keeper.
A spot UV hangtag prints on 16pt gloss cover with a shiny gloss accent on the front, so your logo catches the light while the rest stays smooth. A drilled 1/8 inch hole takes your string. Order 1,000 from $141.70, pick your size, and Wally prints them in New York.

How Much Do Spot UV Hangtags Cost?
Spot UV hangtags start at $141.70 per 1,000 tags, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheap tag really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 2,500 is $251.54, 10,000 is $612.89, and 25,000 is $1,064.33, or roughly 4 cents a tag. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-tag cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
What Stock and Finishing Do These Tags Use?
The stock is 16pt gloss cover, a mid-weight card that stays crisp on a hook and takes the spot UV gloss cleanly. The spot UV sits on the front, over the areas you want to stand out. For ink you choose how far the color goes: 4/0 prints full color on the front and leaves the back blank, 4/1 adds a black back for text or a barcode, and 4/4 runs full color on both sides. Every tag is drilled with a single 1/8 inch hole for your string, and you decide where it sits, at the top center or off to the side. Not sure your file is right? Order a free online proof and 4OVER4 checks it before printing, or send it straight to production when you know it is ready.
How Do Spot UV Hangtags Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Spot UV hangtags are the pick when you want a premium gloss accent without a full lamination, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a raised finish, a silk base, or a plain value tag, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up spot UV hangtags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How Fast Can You Get Spot UV Hangtags?
Spot UV hangtags print on a standard 8 business day turnaround, and when a launch or a season sneaks up you can move that to a 5 business day rush. The faster speed buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. 4OVER4 ships 99.8% of orders on time and 82% of them early, so the date you pick is a date you can plan around. You set the speed in the same configurator where you pick your size and ink.
