Description
A product-specific format
Custom Swing Tags for product presentation
Custom 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 custom swing tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Custom Swing Tags uses
Specifying from the product
The tag follows the product rather than a template: what it hangs on determines size, attachment and board before any design begins.
Brand-consistent tag systems
A range often needs several tag sizes sharing one design language, specified together rather than one at a time.
Information hierarchy
Deciding what must appear, what should appear and what belongs on packaging instead is the decision that shapes the tag.
Print, finish and attachment together
Card, ink, finish and cord interact, so choosing them as a set produces a better tag than choosing them in sequence.
Additional information
Build the specification
Custom Swing Tags specification
The final custom swing tags specification should be agreed from the product requirements, artwork and quantity—not guessed from a generic price table.
- Size and proportions
- Choose a size that gives essential information enough room and works with the product.
- 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
Custom Swing 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 custom 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.
If custom 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
Custom Swing Tags FAQs
What makes a tag custom rather than standard?
A standard tag takes an existing size and format. A custom tag starts from your product, information and brand, and settles the format afterwards.
What should a custom tag brief include?
The product, the information the tag must carry, a rough size, quantity and deadline. Material and finish can be decided from there.
Can artwork come later?
Yes. The specification can be agreed first, which usually improves the artwork because the designer knows the finished size, fold and safe area before starting.
How is a custom tag priced?
By format, board, finish and quantity. Shaped outlines and special finishes carry setup that a rectangular tag on standard board does not.
