Custom Clothing Hang Tags: How to Specify Paper, Artwork and Attachments

A custom clothing hang tag combines brand presentation with practical attachment requirements. Buyers need to specify more than a logo: the paper, finished size, artwork, hole position and string arrangement all need to work together. This guide explains how to prepare a clear brief without relying on assumptions from sample photographs.

Gaoguo is a custom packaging and printing manufacturer in China. Our custom art paper clothing hang tags have a confirmed material of 250 gsm art paper, an MOQ of 500 pieces and a production lead time of 5–7 days. The exact texture, construction and attachment details are confirmed for the individual order. Delivery time is separate.

What should a clothing hang tag communicate?

Decide what belongs on the tag before choosing its dimensions. A brief may include a brand logo, product name, size information, barcode, care information or a brand message. Include only information appropriate to your product, and confirm any applicable labeling requirements separately.

Specify whether you need printing on the front, reverse or both. Keeping the intended content clear helps the supplier review the layout and avoids discovering too late that the chosen size cannot comfortably accommodate it.

How should you specify paper weight?

The listed Gaoguo product uses 250 gsm art paper. GSM expresses paper weight per unit area; it should not be treated as a measurement of finished tag thickness or stiffness. If the feel of the tag matters, review the proposed stock and finished construction together.

The product photographs show textured fronts and light-colored backing areas. They do not establish the exact number of layers, texture process or assembled thickness. Ask for those details in the specification and review an appropriate sample before approving an order.

Define the size, shape and hole position

• State the finished width and height in a clearly identified unit.
• Provide a cutting outline for a shaped tag.
• Mark the intended hole position and discuss hole size and edge spacing.
• Explain how the tag will attach to the garment or its packaging.
• Identify any restrictions on the attachment coming into contact with the product.

The hole and attachment should be considered as a pair. Confirm that the selected string or fastener suits the finished tag, and review the assembled sample if attachment behavior is important to your presentation.

Prepare artwork and finishing requirements

Send authorized artwork for each printed side, with the required wording and color references. Review the cut line, bleed, safe area and hole location against the final layout. Ask the supplier to confirm the printing method and proof arrangements.

If the design includes a special texture or finish, describe the intended appearance rather than assuming that a photograph proves how it was produced. The precise texture, embossing process and additional finishes for this product require confirmation. Keep each requested treatment identifiable in the artwork and quotation brief.

Are strings included with the tags?

The sample photographs show light-colored strings, but inclusion, material and length are not confirmed for every order. State whether you need tags without strings, strings supplied separately or pre-threaded tags. Specify your preferred string appearance, length and attachment method, then confirm availability and the final arrangement.

What information is needed for a hang-tag quote?

Provide quantity, dimensions, artwork for each side, paper requirements, desired finish, hole position, attachment preferences and delivery destination. Identify whether your quantity covers one design or multiple versions so the order can be discussed clearly. The packaging quotation checklist can help you organize the supporting files.
