Custom Product Tags
A product tag is the general case rather than a fixed format, which makes the specification a set of decisions about information, stock and attachment.

Tags for any product line
Custom product tags specified from the product
Product tags are the general case: a printed hang tag for anything that needs a brand, price, barcode or origin story attached. Instead of starting from an industry format, the specification comes from the product itself: its size, how it is displayed and what the customer needs to know.
Decide what belongs on the tag and what belongs on the packaging, then size the tag around it. One design can often cover several product lines when details such as the price or code are printed per version.
Tag anatomy
Product Tags: parts of the tag
Product Tags start at 50 × 75mm on coated one side card. Each numbered part of the diagram is a choice you can change in the order panel.
- CardCoated one side, 250gsm to 1200gsm, with 4 other cards in the order panel.
- Front print areaLogo and brand name, printed full colour, in one to three colours or a Pantone match.
- Product detailsPrice, size, barcode, QR code or care notes, below the logo or on the back when the tag is printed on both sides.
- Bleed3mm of artwork past every trim edge, so colour runs cleanly to the cut.
- Hole and eyelet3mm drilled hole as standard, or 5mm with one of 4 metal eyelet colours.
- AttachmentChoose black lock string, white lock string, black elastic loop, white elastic loop and more, or no string.
Where this format fits
Product Tags uses
Price and product identification
The everyday case: a tag carrying price, product name and reference at the point of display.
Barcode and stock control
Where the tag carries the scannable code, it becomes part of the stock system rather than just presentation.
Range consistency
One tag design across several product lines keeps a range looking deliberate on a shelf.
Origin and provenance
Where a product is made and by whom often sells it, and the tag is where that is stated.
Additional information
Build the specification
Product Tags specification
- Start from the product, not the tag
- Product tags cover every category we print, so the specification has to begin with what the tag hangs on. Weight, surface and handling all follow from that.
- Decide what the tag must carry
- Price, barcode, product name, origin, care and a brand mark rarely all fit. Rank them before the size is set, because the size follows the content.
- Size against the display
- A tag that works on a shelf may be wrong on a rail or in a basket. Check the size against how the product is actually merchandised.
- One design across a range
- Most product tag orders cover several lines. A single design with variable fields is usually cheaper and more consistent than separate artwork per line.
- Barcode and scanning
- If the tag carries the barcode, it has to scan while hanging. Keep it flat, high-contrast and clear of the hole and any fold.
- Quantity across the range
- Give the total across all lines rather than the largest single line. Product tags price far better as one run than as several.
Material, print and finish
Choose the details around the product
Product Tags format alone does not determine the finished hang tag. The card, print, finish and attachment should be chosen together with the product context and artwork.
- Material: Card choice follows the product. Compare the stocks side by side rather than defaulting to whichever was used last time.
- Printing: One side is enough for a price and a mark. Two sides earn their cost once care, origin or multilingual copy is involved.
- Finishing: Lamination for handling, foil for presentation, neither by default. Each should answer a problem the product actually has.
- Attachment: String, elastic, ribbon and plastic fasteners all suit different products. Match it to how the customer will remove it.
Artwork and file guidance
Prepare the artwork
Plan the finished format before export
Decide which details are fixed and which change per product, then set up one design with the changing fields clearly marked. Barcodes need a clear margin and dark ink on a light ground.
Size the type from the viewing distance: a tag read in the hand can use smaller text than one read on a shelf.

Questions and answers
Questions before you order
Product Tags FAQs
What size should a product tag be?
It follows the content and the display. Rank what has to appear, then size the tag to carry it legibly on the rail or shelf the product actually sits on, rather than picking a size first.
Can one design cover several product lines?
Yes, and it usually should. A single design with variable fields for name, price and code prices better than separate artwork per line and keeps the range visually consistent.
Should the barcode go on the tag or the product?
On the tag if the tag stays with the product until the till. Keep it flat, high-contrast and clear of the hole and any fold so it scans while hanging.
How do I choose the card?
From the product and its handling. Compare the stocks directly rather than defaulting to the last order, since weight, surface and writability all change with the material.
