Description
A product-specific format
Square Sale Tags for product presentation
Square 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 square sale tags. This keeps the practical decisions together before artwork is supplied or confirmed.
Where this format fits
Square Sale Tags uses
Percentage-off messaging
A square gives equal width and height, which suits a single large figure such as 50% far better than a long rectangle.
Shelf-edge consistency
Squares tile predictably across a rail or shelf, so a floor of them reads as one campaign rather than as clutter.
Rotated diamond hanging
Hung from a corner rather than an edge, the same tag reads as a diamond, which distinguishes clearance stock at a glance.
Repeat seasonal use
An undated square works across successive sales, so unused stock carries over instead of being discarded.

Square Sale Tags specification
The final square sale tags specification should be agreed from the product requirements, artwork and quantity—not guessed from a generic price table.

- 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
Square 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 square 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 square 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
Square Sale Tags FAQs
Why choose a square over a rectangle for sale tags?
A square centres a single large number better. A rectangle suits a price plus supporting lines; a square suits one dominant figure with little else.
What size suits a sale tag?
70 x 70mm is a common square for rail and shelf use — large enough to read at a distance, small enough not to obscure the product.
Can the price be added in store?
Yes, if the tag is printed on an uncoated stock. A coated square will not take biro, so specify uncoated where staff write the reduction on.
Should sale tags carry a date?
Only where the promotion is legally dated. Undated tags can be reused across events, which makes short campaigns considerably cheaper.
