Hang Your Brand Right on the Product

What turns a printed card into a hang tag is the hole, drilled so you can thread string, twine, or ribbon and tie it onto a garment, a bottle, a box, or a gift. It carries the price, the brand, the size, the care details, or a quick thank-you, whether you are tagging clothing in a boutique, dressing up a bottle neck, or finishing a wrapped order. Paper hang tags start at $25.27 for a set of 50.

At volume a tag costs pennies, and it hangs from a bottle neck, a garment or a gift bag handle where a sticker has no flat surface to hold. To compare paper hang tags with the rest of the lineup, browse every style on hang tags printing, or build yours from the choices below.

What Are Paper Hang Tags

Paper hang tags are small printed paper tags with a drilled hole, made to hang off a product on string, twine, or ribbon. They print full color in 7 sizes, from a 2" x 2" tag up to a 4" x 6", on any of 20 paper stocks. People reach for them as retail price tags, clothing and apparel tags, gift and favor tags, bottle neck tags, and branded thank-you tags tucked into shipped orders. For wine and spirits, our guide to premium wine labels vs bottle neck hang tags vs wine boxes weighs the three for bottle branding. An eco line can order the separate recycled paper hang tags, and the video on metallic retail hang tags shows a shinier finish. If you want a heavier or specialty version, the Custom Hang Tags cover the full range, and this paper version sits right beside them as the everyday value pick.

What Size Should a Paper Hang Tag Be

The right size comes down to the product it hangs on. A 2" x 2" square is the default, small enough for jewelry, candles, and gift bags where the tag is a finishing touch. A 2.5" x 2.5" gives a little more room, and a tall 2" x 6" wraps a bottle neck or runs down the front of a folded garment. Go up to 4" x 6" when the tag reads almost like a mini flyer, with space for a logo, a price, and full care instructions. The specs panel below lists all 7 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list. For a shaped cut instead of a straight rectangle, the Die-Cut Hangtags take the same idea into a custom outline.

Two choices change how a small tag looks and hangs.

Pick a stock that feels like more

A heavier coated stock gives a small tag real presence in the hand. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps color vivid and the cost low, white linen adds a texture you can feel, metallic pearl catches the light, and the 24pt ultra thick cover feels substantial. For a natural, writable surface, the cream and uncoated stocks take a pen, and there are recycled options at 30 percent and 100 percent post-consumer waste. When a natural kraft look is the whole point, the Kraft Hangtags carry that idea across the order.

Drill the hole where it hangs best

Every paper hang tag is drilled so it is ready to tie on. You choose a 1/8" or 3/16" hole and set its position in one of 5 spots, including top center, top left, and top right, so the tag hangs straight on a garment, a bottle, or a box. Thread it with string, twine, elastic, or ribbon.

Can You Print on Both Sides of a Hang Tag

Yes. Choose 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color on the front with black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. That lets you put the logo and price on the front and the size, care instructions, a message, or a QR code on the back. Leave the coating off and pick an uncoated stock if your shop writes prices or sizes on the back by hand.

How Do Paper Hang Tags Compare to the Rest of the Range

Paper hang tags are the everyday value pick, while a shaped cut, a kraft feel or a heavier specialty tag each cost a different amount. The chart below lines up paper hang tags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Paper Hang Tags

Paper hang tags print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4, 3, or 2 business days, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day, and 99.8 percent of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time with 82 percent shipping early.

Paper Hang Tags: Frequently Asked Questions

Do the tags arrive with the hole already made?

Yes. Hole drilling is part of the order, and you choose between a 1/8 inch and a 3/16 inch hole in one of 5 positions. The bigger hole is the one to pick for thicker twine or a ribbon, while 1/8 inch is enough for string on a small tag. Set the position so the hole clears your artwork rather than punching through type.

What sizes do paper hang tags come in?

There are 7 sizes, from a small 2 by 2 inch tag up to 4 by 6 inches, with 2 by 2 set as the default. The small square suits a price and a logo on a garment or a candle, while the larger sizes give room for care instructions, a barcode and a short brand story.

How much does a set of 50 cost, and how far do the discounts go?

Fifty tags start at $25.27, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the run climbs all the way to 100,000. A boutique tagging one collection can order small, while a brand tagging a full production run reaches the tiers where tags cost pennies each. The price updates live as you change the quantity.

Which stocks are available if I want the tag to feel like part of the brand?

There are 20 stocks, including gloss cover, uncoated, cream uncoated, white linen, soft touch, metallic pearl, synthetic plastic, rigid vinyl, and recycled options up to 100 percent post-consumer waste. Linen and soft touch give texture in the hand, cream uncoated reads as understated, and metallic pearl adds shine without any coating. Uncoated and cream are the ones to choose if a shop writes prices or sizes on the tag by hand.

Can I have the corners rounded?

Yes, rounded corners are an option on this tag. Rounded corners are worth choosing on tags that hang from clothing, since square corners are what catch and bend first on a crowded rack. Select it with the size and the drilling before checkout.

How fast can tags be produced for a product launch?

Standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush available. Proof options are part of the ordering panel, which is the step to use when a barcode or a size chart has to be exactly right. Shipping time to your warehouse or shop is separate from the production days.
