Standard swing tags for products
Swing tags—also called clothing tags, hang tags or swing tickets—are a practical printed piece for retail products, handmade gifts and business packaging. They give your brand an unmissable place for product details while making the first physical interaction feel considered.
A standard rectangular tag is the versatile starting point: enough space for a logo, price, barcode, care instructions or story, with proportions that work across clothing, accessories, gifts, food packaging and event merchandise.

Artwork and file guidance
Artwork preparation
Artwork and file preparation
Start with the finished tag size and make room for the hole position, string and any important information. Keep fine text away from the drilled hole and trimmed edge. If your tag includes foil, Spot UV or embossing, identify the areas clearly in your artwork notes.
Your quote request can include PDF, AI, EPS, JPG, PNG or ZIP artwork. If the design is not final, send the product details first and explain what the tag needs to communicate.
