Hang Tag Size Guide for Clothing and Retail Brands
A well-designed hang tag is often a customer's first physical touchpoint with your brand. Here's how to pick the right size and stock.
Most popular hang tag sizes
- 2″ × 3.5″ — the classic apparel tag (business-card size)
- 2″ × 3″ — slightly shorter, great for kids' wear
- 1.5″ × 2.5″ — jewelry, accessories and small gifts
- 3″ × 3″ — square tags for premium or lifestyle brands
Choose the right thickness
350gsm card is sturdy and economical. 450gsm feels noticeably premium, while 600gsm duplex card is used by high-end fashion labels.
Finishes that elevate
Soft-touch lamination gives a velvety feel, gold foil adds luxury, and spot UV makes your logo shine. Kraft card with cotton string suits handmade and eco brands.
Front and back
Use the front for your logo and the back for price, size, care instructions or a short brand story. Double-sided printing adds little cost but a lot of value.
