What Are Custom Printed Hang Tabs?

Custom printed hang tabs are small, folded loops of durable material, typically cardstock or plastic, that are designed to be looped through a buttonhole, grommet, or seam of a garment. The product’s price tag, care label, or branded swing tag is then inserted into the folded tab, holding it securely in place without the need for pins, strings, or plastic.

• Primary Function: To provide a secure and elegant method for attaching tags to clothing and other products.
• Branding Opportunity: The surface of the tab is perfect for printing your logo, brand name, website, or a custom message, turning a simple functional piece into a powerful branding tool.

Sizes & Custom Shapes: Tailored to Your Product

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What's the difference between a hang tab and a swing tag?
A: A hang tab is the loop that is attached directly to the garment. A swing tag is the decorative tag (often with pricing and info) that is inserted into the hang tab. They work together as a complete clothing tag system.

Q: How do I attach the hang tabs to my products?
A: It's a simple, two-step process. First, loop the hang tab through a buttonhole or seam on the garment. Second, take your swing tag or price tag and tuck it securely into the folded slot of the hang tab.

Q: What is your turnaround time?
A: For standard orders, production typically takes 7-10 business days, plus shipping time within the USA. Rush services may be available—please inquire.

Q: Do you offer free proofs?
A: Yes! We provide a digital proof for your approval before we go to press, ensuring your custom printed hang tabs are perfect.

Q: What are the benefits of using hang tabs over safety pins or plastic fasteners?
A:

• Professionalism: Provides a much cleaner and more high-end look.
• Security: Holds tags more securely than pins, reducing loss.
• Safety: Eliminates the risk of sharp pins damaging garments or hurting customers.
• Branding: Turns a functional item into a brand recognition tool.
