Description
A product-specific format
Square Swing Tags for product presentation
Square Swing Tags give product teams a dedicated format for the information and presentation requirements of the item being sold. The specification should begin with the product it will be attached to, then account for the information the tag needs to carry.
Use the form to record the final size, card direction, print sides, finishing and attachment for square swing tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Square Swing Tags uses
Logo-led tags
A square frames a circular or square brand mark evenly, with equal margin on every side.
Minimal single-message tags
One word, one price or one mark uses a square better than a rectangle, which always invites a second line.
Instagram-style presentation
The proportion matches the square image crop brands already design for, so existing artwork transfers directly.
Candle and jar lids
A square sits neatly on a round lid without the overhang a long rectangle creates.

- Finishing: Use finishing options where they improve durability, contrast or brand presentation.

Questions and answers
Questions before you order
Square Swing Tags FAQs
What size is a standard square swing tag?
70 x 70mm is the common size, with 50 x 50mm used for smaller products such as jewellery and cosmetics.
Does a square hold less than a rectangle?
For multi-line text, yes. A square favours one dominant element with generous margin; a rectangle suits stacked lines of information.
Can a square tag hang as a diamond?
Yes — punching the hole through a corner rather than an edge turns the same cut tag into a diamond, at no extra cost.
Is a square cheaper than a shaped tag?
Yes. A square is a straight guillotine cut, so it sits on the standard price ladder rather than the shaped one.
