Description
A product-specific format
Create Your Own Swing Tags for product presentation
Create Your Own 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.

Where this format fits
Create Your Own Swing Tags uses
Starting from a blank format
Where none of the standard formats fits, the specification starts from the product rather than from an existing template.
Combining features
A folded tag with a perforated stub, or a shaped tag with an eyelet, is specified as one brief rather than assembled from separate products.
Matching existing packaging
An existing box, sleeve or label often sets the size, stock and finish the tag has to match.
Prototyping before a full run
A small first run tests the format on the real product before committing to production quantities.

Questions and answers
Questions before you order
Create Your Own Swing Tags FAQs
What do you need to start a bespoke tag?
The product it attaches to, the information it must carry, a rough size and the quantity. Artwork can follow once the format is agreed.
Can features be combined on one tag?
Yes — folds, perforations, shaped outlines, eyelets and finishes can all appear on the same tag, though each adds a step and should earn its place.
How long does a bespoke specification take?
Longer than a standard format, because a new cutting form or a sample may be needed. Share the deadline at the start so the format can be chosen against it.
Is there a minimum for a bespoke tag?
Setup dominates a bespoke run, so the cost per tag falls sharply with quantity. Small runs are possible but carry most of that setup in the unit price.
