Paper Hang Tags

These little tags punch above their size. They cost pennies each at volume, they hang where a sticker or a card cannot, and the shape does half the merchandising for you. Want to see how paper hang tags sit next to the rest of the lineup? Browse every style on hang tags printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $25.27, and the per-tag cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so a full run for a season or a product line costs far less per tag than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

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. Because the tag hangs in view, it gets read instead of buried. If you want a heavier or specialty version, the Standard 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. All 7 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a shaped cut instead of a straight rectangle, the Die-Cut Hangtags take the same idea into a custom outline.

Here are a few easy ways to make a paper hang tag pull its weight.

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 genuinely substantial. Prefer 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 and the tag does the rest.

Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the drilled hole. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Paper Hang Tags Cost?

Paper hang tags start at $25.27 per set of 50, about 51 cents a tag, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000. A run of 800 comes to $56.02, near 7 cents each, 7,000 land at $289.98, and a full 100,000 tags reach $3,130.37, close to 3 cents a tag. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-tag cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

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. Pair it with a high gloss UV coat and a stock that fits, and a 2-inch tag starts doing the work of a much bigger label.

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

Paper hang tags are the value pick when you want a clean, printed tag on almost any product, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a shaped cut, a kraft feel, or a heavier specialty tag, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up paper hang tags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
