Description
A product-specific format
Large Swing Tags for product presentation
Large 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 large swing tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Large Swing Tags uses
Full care and composition panels
Where regulation or customer expectation demands a full information panel, a larger face avoids type sizes that cannot be read.
Furniture and homeware
Bigger products carry bigger tags without looking odd, and are viewed from further away than a garment.
Product storytelling
Provenance, maker and process copy needs room to breathe rather than being compressed to fit.
Instructional diagrams
Assembly notes, sizing charts and diagrams only work above a certain size, which a standard tag cannot reach.

Large Swing Tags specification
The final large swing tags specification should be agreed from the product requirements, artwork and quantity—not guessed from a generic price table.
- Size and proportions
- A larger tag gives room for detail, but it also swings further and shows creasing sooner, so a heavier stock and a reinforced hole matter more than they do at small sizes.
- 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
Large 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 large 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 large 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
Large Swing Tags FAQs
What counts as a large swing tag?
Anything above roughly 100 x 80mm is generally treated as oversized, which changes both the board weight and the attachment you should specify.
Does a large tag need heavier board?
Yes. A large tag on light board bends under its own weight and curls at the hole, so board weight should rise with the dimensions.
Does a large tag need an eyelet?
It usually should. The bigger the tag, the more leverage it exerts on the hole as it swings, and a reinforced eyelet prevents the tear that follows.
Is a large tag more expensive?
It uses more board and fits fewer to a sheet, so cost rises with area. Folding a smaller tag is often cheaper than printing a large flat one.
