What a clothing tag has to do on the rack

A clothing tag works harder than most packaging. Shoppers flip it, pull it and read it while holding the garment at arm's length.

It needs to show your brand from across the store and answer quick questions up close. Size, price and fabric are the three things people check first.

The tag also has to survive try-ons and returns to the rack. That is why apparel buyers lean toward heavier stock and a strong attachment. A tag that tears off at the pin costs you a sale.

Front: brand name or logo, large enough to read from a step back
Back: size, style number, color name and fabric content
A clear area for a price sticker or handwritten price
Optional: a short brand line, website or social handle

Information to print on the back

The back of a clothing tag is where shoppers decide. Keep it in a fixed order so each tag in your line reads the same way.

A simple order works well: size first, then style number, then color, then fabric. Staff can check stock faster when every tag follows the same pattern.

Fabric content and care symbols usually belong on the sewn label inside the garment. The hang tag can repeat a short care note if it helps sell the piece.

Our checklist of what to put on a hang tag covers each line in more detail. Use it before you send artwork, so your proof needs fewer rounds.

Tag sizes that suit different garments

Tag size should match the garment and the way it is displayed. A large tag on a tank top looks heavy, while a tiny tag on a coat gets lost.

If you are between two sizes, the hang tag size templates let you print and test both.

Garment	Typical tag size	Usual attachment
T-shirts and tanks	1.5 x 3 in	Plastic loop pin through the neck label
Dresses and blouses	2 x 3.5 in	Safety pin or loop pin at the label
Denim and trousers	2 x 4 in	String through the belt loop or button
Coats and jackets	2.5 x 4 in	String through the button or a sleeve tab
Knitwear	2 x 3.5 in	Safety pin, so string does not snag yarn
Kids and baby wear	1.5 x 3 in	Loop pin through the inside label only

Attaching tags without marking the fabric

The wrong attachment can leave a hole in silk or a snag in a knit. Always fasten through the brand label or a seam, not the open fabric.

Plastic loop pins are fast for high volume. Safety pins are gentler on delicate fabrics, and string suits denim, coats and heavier items.

Our page on attaching hang tags to products shows each option. We can pre-attach string so tags are ready to tie.

Stock and finish choices for apparel

Most clothing brands choose 16 pt or 18 pt cardstock. It feels solid in the hand but still lies flat against the garment.

Premium labels often go to 24 pt or 32 pt double-layered board, sometimes with edge painting. Streetwear and denim brands like kraft board with white or black ink.

Soft-touch lamination resists scuffs during try-ons. Foil or spot UV on the logo adds a detail shoppers notice when they turn the tag over.

Boutiques that sell gifts and clothing together often pick one stock for everything. A single paper keeps the shop looking consistent from rail to counter.

Kraft tags for denim, workwear and natural fibers

Kraft board has a raw, plain look that suits denim, canvas and linen. It also pairs well with jute string on outdoor and workwear lines.

Black ink prints crisply on kraft. White ink can be added for logos that need to stand out on the brown surface.

Kraft is also a sensible pick for brands that print on recycled-content mailers. The tag then matches the box the order ships in.

If kraft is your main material, see our dedicated kraft board hang tags for more stock details.

Running sizes, colors and styles in one order

Apparel lines rarely need one tag. You may need a version for each size, color or style number.

We set up each version on your proof so you can check every variation before printing. Keep the front the same and change only the back details.

Some brands print one general tag and add size and price with small printed hang tag stickers. This keeps one tag design across the whole line.

First-order mistakes apparel brands can avoid

New labels often design the tag before they know how it will be fastened. Then the hole ends up too close to the logo, or the pin covers the size.

Another common miss is tiny type on the back. Fabric content at 5 pt is hard to read in a dim fitting room, so keep key details at 7 pt or larger.

If you sell accessories or home goods next to your clothing, our general custom product tags can share the same look.

Decide the attachment first, then place the hole
Keep size and price away from the hole and pin area
Use one font family across front and back
Ask for a proof of every version, not a sample of one

Steps from artwork to tagged garments

Most apparel orders follow the same path. If your launch date is fixed, count back from it using these steps.

Send your logo, tag size, stock choice and the list of versions.
Our design team builds a free digital proof with each version.
You request changes as many times as you need.
You approve the proof, and printing takes 4 to 6 business days.
Tags ship free and arrive in 2 to 3 business days, ready to attach.

Seasonal reorders and markdowns

Clothing tags get reordered with each new season or drop. We keep your approved artwork on file, so a reorder starts from the last proof.

If only the season code or collection name changes, tell us which line to edit. You approve a fresh proof, and the rest of the tag stays exactly as before.

When items go on sale, a separate tag avoids writing over your main tag. Our custom printed sale tags hang next to the brand tag during markdowns.

Pricing and shipping for apparel tags

Clothing hang tags start from $0.30 per unit. What you pay for apparel tags depends on size, stock, quantity and finish, and your quote confirms it.

We ship apparel tags free to the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Check our shipping times and policy if you are planning around a launch.

If tags arrive misprinted or damaged, report it within 10 days. We reprint or refund them.
