Recycled Hang Tags

What is a recycled hang tag?

A recycled hang tag is a product tag printed on paper stock that contains post-consumer recycled content. At 4OVER4 recycled hang tags print in 7 sizes from 2" x 2" to 4" x 6" on 20 stocks, including a 13pt uncoated cover made from 100% post-consumer waste and 30% recycled gloss and uncoated options, with full color ink, a plain or High Gloss UV finish, and a drilled hanging hole.

A recycled hang tag does the same job as any product tag, it just does it on paper that started as post-consumer waste instead of virgin fiber. The headline stock is a 13pt uncoated cover made from 100% recycled (PCW) paper, with a natural, tactile surface that reads honest and unbleached. If you want recycled content in a coated or cream look, the 30% PCW gloss, uncoated, and cream cover stocks give you the same eco story with a different feel.

Print your logo, price, or care details in full color, drill a hole for string or ribbon, and hang the tag off a garment, a candle, a bottle, or a gift box. For a warmer natural look on the same idea, the Kraft Hangtags go brown, and the plain white Standard Hang Tags cover the classic version.

What sizes and hole options can you choose?

4OVER4 recycled hang tags come in 7 set sizes, from a 2" x 2" square up to a 4" x 6" tag, with 2" x 3.5", 2" x 6", and 2.5" x 2.5" among them. The default is 2" x 2", and you can set a custom size up to 4" x 6". Each tag is drilled with a 1/8" or 3/16" hanging hole in one of 5 positions, including top center, top left, and top right.

Size comes down to how much the tag has to carry. A 2" x 2" square is the default, small enough to feel like a token on a gift or a keychain. Step up to a 2" x 3.5" or 2.5" x 2.5" for a logo plus a line of care instructions, or run the tall 2" x 6" down the front of a bottle or a folded garment. The range climbs to a 4" x 6" when the tag doubles as a mini brand card, and you can set a custom size up to 4" x 6" if none of the presets fits. For hanging, the tag is drilled with a hole in a 1/8" or a wider 3/16" size, placed in one of 5 positions: top center for a straight hang, or top left or top right for a corner. Every size, stock, ink, and finish is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

What recycled stocks and finishes are available?

4OVER4 prints recycled hang tags on 20 stocks. The recycled options include a 13pt uncoated cover made from 100% post-consumer waste and 30% PCW gloss, uncoated, and cream covers. The wider range adds coated gloss covers up to 24pt, white linen, metallic pearl, synthetic plastic, and rigid vinyl. Finishes are Standard or High Gloss UV, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color both sides.

The recycled story lives in the post-consumer waste stocks. The 13pt uncoated cover runs 100% PCW, a genuinely recycled paper with a natural, uncoated hand. Prefer some recycled content with a coated or cream finish? The 30% PCW gloss, uncoated, and cream cover stocks give you the eco credential with a different surface. When a product line calls for a different look entirely, the same order lets you reach past recycled into the full 20-stock range: everyday 14pt and 16pt gloss cover, a chunky 24pt ultra thick, textured white linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver, and gold, or a durable 15pt synthetic and 18pt rigid vinyl for tags that survive water and handling.

For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV coat, and you set ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back. Want a different material for another product line? For a warm natural feel the Paper Hang Tags keep it simple, and the Kraft Hangtags go brown.

How much do recycled hang tags cost?

Recycled hang tags start at $25.27 for 50, about 51 cents a tag, and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so the cost per tag really comes down to how big a run you order. Order more and the math gets friendlier fast: 800 tags run $56.02, which is around 7 cents each, 7,000 run $289.98, and a 100,000 run lands at $3,130.37, roughly 3 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.

How do recycled hang tags compare to the rest of the range?

Recycled hang tags are the pick when you want a tag that matches a sustainable brand, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a natural kraft look, a plain paper tag, or the classic white version, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up recycled hang tags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

What do people use recycled hang tags for?

Because a recycled hang tag hangs off almost anything and reads as deliberately sustainable, it fits brands that want the tag to say something about the product. Clothing labels string them onto garments with care details on the back. Candle makers, soap makers, and small-batch producers hang them off packaging as a price tag and a brand mark in one. Boutiques and gift shops use them as swing tags on bags and boxes.

When the tag is the finishing touch on an eco-conscious product, the 100% recycled stock keeps the whole package on message. Print your logo on the front, care or pricing on the back, drill the hole where you need it, and the tag does the branding and the hanging in a single piece.

How fast can you get recycled hang tags printed?

Recycled hang tags print on a standard 5 business day turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4, 3, or 2 business days, next-day, or same-day production out of the New York City facility. Order by the daily cutoff and a same-day job ships that afternoon. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. 4OVER4 lands 99.8% of orders on time and ships 82% early, so the date you pick is a date you can plan around. Every order can also carry a free online proof or a next-day hardcopy proof before it prints.

Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
