Custom hang tags give products an additional space for branding, product information, and promotional messaging while improving their presentation at retail. Whether you need tags for clothing, jewelry, accessories, handmade products, or specialty goods, you can customize their size, shape, material, printing, and finishing to match your brand identity.
From simple branded tags to premium hang tags with foil stamping, embossing, QR codes, and custom die-cut shapes, you can create a design that complements your product and packaging. OXO Packaging produces custom hang tags in different styles and specifications for both small businesses and wholesale orders.
The material you choose affects the appearance, durability, texture, and overall feel of your hang tags. Select a stock that complements your product and brand positioning.
You can also pair your selected stock with attachment options such as cotton, jute, linen, nylon, polyester, leather, elastic, or satin ribbon.

Custom die-cutting also allows you to create unique silhouettes that reflect your product, logo, or brand identity.
Hang tags can do more than display a logo. They provide valuable space for information that helps customers understand, identify, or interact with your product.
Depending on your product and industry, you can include:
A strategically designed hang tag can therefore combine branding, product identification, customer information, and promotion in one compact format.
Printing and finishing can transform a simple product tag into a stronger branding element. Depending on your artwork and material, you can select printing and finishing options that complement your packaging.
For example, foil stamping can emphasize a logo, while embossing creates a tactile effect. Matte or soft-touch finishes can provide a more understated premium appearance.
A hang tag can also connect your physical product with your digital presence. Adding a QR code allows customers to scan the tag and access information beyond the limited printable area.
Depending on your marketing strategy, a QR code can direct customers to:
This makes the hang tag both a physical branding tool and a potential customer-engagement channel.
Make every product more memorable with professionally designed custom hang tags that reflect your brand identity. Whether you need a small run for a new collection or hang tags wholesale quantities for ongoing production, you can choose from various shapes, sizes, materials, finishes, and printing options.
Ordering bulk hang tags helps maintain consistent branding across your products while keeping packaging costs manageable. Add your logo, product details, pricing, care instructions, or a personalized message to create tags that look professional and provide useful information to customers.
With custom printing and flexible customization options, you can create hang tags that complement your packaging and give your products a polished, retail-ready appearance.
Choose Eco-Friendly Options
Brands seeking more sustainable product presentation can consider paper-based materials such as kraft, recycled, or other responsibly sourced stocks where available. Eco-conscious options can be combined with suitable printing and finishing choices to create branded tags without compromising the desired visual presentation.
You can also select paper-based or natural-fiber attachment options such as cotton, jute, or linen to complement a sustainability-focused packaging concept.
Whether you are launching a new apparel collection, updating your retail packaging, or ordering tags for a growing product line, OXO Packaging can help you create hang tags that align with your brand. Choose from different materials, sizes, shapes, printing methods, finishes, and attachment options to develop tags that suit your products and presentation.

A hang tag is a branded label, primarily used to enhance the packaging of apparel, packaged goods, and display products. These are printed with useful information about the product and utilized as a creative marketing tool.
We provide only a 100 MOQ of hang tags to get started with OXO Packaging. While we encourage you to place a bulk order to avail discounted rates for custom hang tags.
Most tags use a 3/16" drilled hole set 1/4" from the top edge, which fits string, elastic loops and tag-gun barbs. If you want a metal grommet, the hole is 1/4". We mark the hole on your proof so you can check nothing important sits under it.
14pt–16pt is fine for a tag that is read once and thrown away. For apparel and anything handled on a rack, 18pt–24pt stays flat and feels like a brand cared. Luxury tags go to 32pt and beyond using duplexed board. Thinner than 14pt curls and looks cheap next to the product.
Standard tags ship in 8–10 business days after proof approval, plus transit. Foil, embossing, custom die-cut shapes and pre-stringing add a few days. Tell us your in-hand date when you request a quote and we will say whether it is realistic before you order.
Yes, if the barcode is the same on every tag, or if you need a small number of versions (for example S, M, L, XL). Send each version as its own file; short version runs are ganged on one sheet and priced as one job. For a unique barcode on every tag (variable data), ask us first.
