Headwear branding
Tags built for hats
Whether you are selling chunky knit beanies or structured baseball caps, the swing tag is a crucial part of the retail presentation. Hat tags need to be small enough not to interfere with the fit when tried on, but sturdy enough to present barcodes and pricing clearly.
We supply hat tags to independent streetwear labels and established headwear manufacturers, providing everything from rustic kraft cards to ultra-thick, foil-stamped luxury tags.

Hat tag options
Hat tag specifications
Configure the tag to match your headwear.
- Size and shape
- Long, slim rectangles (e.g. 40x90mm) work very well when hanging from a cap adjuster.
- Card and weight
- We recommend at least 350gsm so the tag does not bend when the hat is handled.
Card and finish
Finishing hat tags
Choose finishes that match the hat material.
- Attachment: Use our elastic loops to easily attach tags over the button on top of caps, or safety pins for beanies.

Artwork preparation
Preparing artwork for hat tags
Ensure barcodes are placed near the bottom of the tag so they can be scanned easily without removing the hat from the display rack.

Questions
Hat tag FAQs
How do I attach a tag to a baseball cap?
The most common methods are using a tagging gun through the internal label, or looping an elastic string over the squatcho (the button on the top of the cap).
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no minimum order: a single tag can be bought online, and the product page shows fixed prices for every available quantity from one tag upwards. Use the quote form when a bespoke configuration is required.
Can I see a physical sample before ordering?
Use the sample request page to ask about custom hat tags materials and finishes. Availability and the appropriate sample selection are confirmed against the product brief.
What format should I supply my artwork in?
Use the artwork guide to prepare custom hat tags files around the finished size, trim, attachment area and print requirements. The final file requirements are confirmed during artwork review.
