Dense recycled-fibre character
Grey Pulpboard Swing Tags
Grey pulpboard swing tags have a dense, visibly fibrous grey surface and a substantial industrial feel. Artwork should work with the darker base, surface variation and board thickness rather than trying to disguise them.

Where this format fits
Grey Pulpboard Swing Tags uses
Workwear and utility products
Use bold dark or opaque artwork that remains legible against the fibrous grey surface and substantial edge.
Craft and maker ranges
Let visible fibre and surface variation support a material-led identity rather than covering the board with a full printed imitation.
Furniture and home goods
Use the board weight for care or provenance tags that should feel deliberate alongside timber, textiles or ceramics.
Minimal packaging systems
Keep the palette restricted and make the stock part of the design, with an eyelet where the thick board needs hole reinforcement.
Material guide
Getting the best results from grey pulpboard
Grey pulpboard is a dense, fibrous board with a solid grey edge. It has an industrial, unfinished look that suits workwear, homeware and minimal brands.
Choosing the weight
Pulpboard is offered at 300gsm, 350gsm and 420gsm. The board is dense, so even 350gsm feels thick and the cut edge is clearly visible. Choose 420gsm when the edge is part of the look or when the tag hangs from heavy items such as tools, bags or furniture.
Designing for a grey surface
The board is mid-grey and absorbent, so it behaves like a coloured card. Black and very dark colours give the strongest contrast; mid-tones disappear. White text needs an opaque white ink or a white foil. Simple one-colour designs and bold type suit the material best.
Detail and print
The fibrous surface softens fine detail. Keep text at 8pt or larger and avoid thin rules and photographs. Logos with solid shapes and clear outlines print best.
Finishes that suit pulpboard
Foil gives sharp contrast against the matt grey: copper, silver and black foil all work well. Debossing presses cleanly into dense board and suits brands that want a tactile mark without ink. Lamination hides the surface and is rarely used.
Strength and handling
Dense board holds a punched hole well, so pulpboard tags suit heavier products and rougher handling. Like other uncoated boards it takes pencil and marker, and it marks if it gets wet, so keep it for dry storage and indoor use.
Additional information
Build the specification
Grey Pulpboard Swing Tags specification
- Size and proportions
- A bespoke outline is cut to its own profile, so artwork needs bleed that follows the curve and a safe margin that keeps type off the cut line the whole way round.
- Card and surface
- Grey pulpboard is made for visible fibre and thickness rather than a clean white print ground. Its darker face reduces colour contrast, while the dense edge and natural surface variation become part of the design.
Artwork and file guidance
Prepare the artwork
Plan the finished format before export
Keep essential grey pulpboard swing tags copy clear of the trim edge and attachment area. The page-specific artwork guidance explains the considerations for formats, holes, folds and variable product information.
Proof artwork on a mid-grey background, strengthen fine reversed text and avoid assuming that unprinted areas will be neutral white. Record the intended print method if an opaque light colour is essential.
If grey pulpboard swing tags artwork is not final, submit the product and specification details first. This gives the production conversation a clear starting point without forcing a premature file upload.

Questions and answers
Questions before you order
Grey Pulpboard Swing Tags FAQs
What colour is grey pulpboard?
A mid-grey made from pressed pulp, with small fibre variations across the sheet and a solid grey cut edge. Each run looks very slightly different, which is part of the material.
Can you print white on grey pulpboard?
White needs to be applied as an opaque white ink or a white foil, because full-colour process printing has no white ink.
Is pulpboard stronger than card?
It is denser, so the cut edge is thicker and the punched hole is less likely to tear on heavier products at the same weight.
Can grey pulpboard be laminated?
It can, but it hides the fibre surface that gives the board its look. Foil or a deboss usually suits it better.
