Description
A product-specific format
Circular Sale Tags for product presentation
Circular Sale 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 circular sale tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Circular Sale Tags uses
Roundel discount marks
A circle is the conventional shape for a percentage roundel, which is why a discount reads faster on one than on a rectangle.
Jar, lid and tin promotions
A round tag sits against a round lid, so food and cosmetics promotions do not fight the packaging shape.
Single-figure clarity
With no corners to fill, the whole face carries one number, which is all a clearance tag usually needs to do.
Mixed-shape displays
A circle stands out among the rectangles that make up most of a shop floor, without needing a louder colour.

Circular Sale Tags specification
The final circular sale tags specification should be agreed from the product requirements, artwork and quantity—not guessed from a generic price table.
- Size and proportions
- A curved outline gives no square corner to align to, so centre the artwork on the tag itself and keep type an even distance from the cut edge all the way round.
- Card and surface
- Select the material and surface direction that suit handling, writing requirements and the planned artwork.
- Print and information
- Specify one or both sides and identify any barcode, variable information or mandatory copy.
- Hole and attachment
- Describe how the hang tag will attach to the product, including the preferred string, loop, ribbon or hardware.
- Finishing
- Discuss lamination, foil, Spot UV, embossing or other finishing only where it supports the artwork and use.
- Quantity and deadline
- Share the quantity and required date so the quote can be based on the real requirement.
Material, print and finish
Choose the details around the product
Circular Sale 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: Compare available card directions before finalising the design.
- Printing: Plan the information that needs to appear on each side of the tag.
- Finishing: Use finishing options where they improve durability, contrast or brand presentation.
- Attachment: Match the attachment to the product, hole position and intended customer interaction.
Artwork and file guidance
Prepare the artwork
Plan the finished format before export
Keep essential circular sale 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.
If circular sale 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
Circular Sale Tags FAQs
Why use a circular sale tag?
A circle centres a single large figure better than any other outline, and it reads differently from the rectangular tags around it, which is what a promotion needs on a busy floor.
What size suits a circular sale tag?
50 to 70mm across covers most rail and shelf use. Larger circles start to obscure the product they are promoting.
Can the discount be written on in store?
Only on an uncoated stock. A coated circle will not take biro, so specify uncoated if staff add the reduction by hand.
Is a circular tag more expensive than a square one?
Yes, because a curved outline needs a cutting form rather than a straight guillotine cut.
