A quick look at what small business owners need to know about creating product hang tags.
Product hang tags are a popular non-adhesive labeling solution suitable for items in hard packaging, soft packaging, or no packaging at all. Tags are a reliable way to add information to products that can be easily removed once the product has been purchased.
Whether used as a primary means of identifying a product or employed to provide additional product information, these versatile tags can play a big role in attracting a shopper’s attention. Here are a few things you need to know before you get started creating hang tags for things like clothing, blankets, plush toys, bottles, jars, and more.
Tags Shapes and Sizes
Printable product hang tags can be created in two different ways: either with existing tag products or by using business cards. Avery Printable Tags are available in a few different sizes and shapes: a 2” Round Tag, a 2” x 3-1/2” Rectangle Tag with a tapered top, and a 2” x 1-1/4” tag with a scalloped top. All three tags are pre-punched and come with fabric strings.
In addition to our pre-punched tags with strings, Avery Business Cards can also be easily used to create product hang tags. They are the perfect size and shape to be used as price tags or product tags, and they can be printed on both sides to provide extra space for branding or product care information. Simply design your tag in the portrait (aka vertical) orientation, then print and use a small hole punch to create a spot to thread your string.
What to Include
There are several different uses for product hang tags. Use one tag on its own or group a few tags together to create extended, differentiated messaging. Here are a few different examples of the content you may want to add to your printable, product hang tags.
Primary product Tags –apply your logo, a website, and product information.
Price Tags –Add product and price information, along with a barcode, if applicable.
Care and Usage Tags –Tell customers how to care for their new purchase, whether this means planting or watering instructions for seedlings or washing and drying instructions for an article of clothing.
Special Business Information –Use a printable card to share what makes your brand special. This could be a note about your sustainability initiatives or a callout to 100% locally sourced ingredients. Perhaps you’d like to mention a charitable aspect of your business, or anything else that makes your products and your business something special!
Value Adds –Add additional value to your items by using hangs tags to include something free. This could be a QR code with a link to a recipe or project related to your product, or even include a to/from tag if your item will be on the market during a traditional gifting season.
Ideal Application
Product hang tags are a versatile marketing and merchandising option that can be used on a variety of different packaging types or applied directly to the products themselves.
