Custom Printed Hang Tags

Custom Printed Hang Tags UK for Retail, Products & Packaging

Custom printed hang tags give products a clear brand identity while creating useful space for logos, product information, care details, QR codes, social media handles and promotional messages. For UK retailers, independent brands, food producers, gift businesses and e-commerce sellers, a well-designed tag can turn simple packaging into a more complete branded presentation.

Packonic supplies personalised hang tags in rectangular and parcel-style shapes, with both standard and Kraft options available. The current range uses 300 GSM uncoated paper, full-colour CMYK digital printing, UV ink and a standard matt finish, with one-sided or two-sided printing available depending on how much information your design needs to carry.

Whether you need branded hang tags for retail products, swing tags for clothing and accessories, Kraft tags for artisan goods or printed tags for bottles, jars, gifts and parcels, the right format depends on the product, the amount of information required and how the tag should support the rest of your packaging.

Rectangular or Parcel Hang Tags: Which Shape Should You Choose?

The first decision when ordering custom hang tags is the shape. Both rectangular and parcel styles provide space for branding and product information, but they create a different visual impression once attached.

Choose Rectangular Hang Tags for a Clean, Versatile Format

Rectangular hang tags provide a familiar layout with straight edges and a balanced printable surface. They work well when the design needs to combine a logo with structured information such as a product name, short description, ingredients, care instructions, website address or QR code.

The straightforward shape also makes rectangular tags easy to integrate into different packaging styles, from minimal modern branding to more traditional retail presentation.

Choose Parcel Hang Tags for a More Distinctive Presentation

Parcel hang tags create a more recognisable tag-style silhouette and can become a visible design feature rather than simply an information card.

They work particularly well with parcels, gift packaging, hampers, artisan products, jars and bottles where the tag is intended to contribute to the overall presentation. The format also gives businesses an alternative to standard rectangular product cards while retaining useful printable space.

Standard or Kraft Hang Tags?

Once the shape has been selected, the next decision is whether the tag should use a standard printed appearance or a natural Kraft style.

Standard Printed Hang Tags

Standard printed hang tags provide a neutral base that allows artwork, typography and brand colours to take visual priority. They are a strong choice for brands using colourful logos, detailed graphics or a cleaner contemporary packaging style.

This makes them suitable for retail, fashion, accessories, gifts, food products and other applications where the printed design itself should dominate the presentation.

Kraft Hang Tags

Kraft hang tags introduce a natural brown appearance before any artwork is added. This makes the material itself part of the visual identity and can complement artisan, handmade, craft-inspired or natural-style packaging.

Kraft formats can work especially well with twine, natural paper bags, tissue paper, cardboard boxes and other packaging elements where a warmer, less polished aesthetic is intentional.

Which Hang Tag Size Should You Choose?

All four current Packonic hang tag formats are available in three sizes. The right size depends on the physical product, the amount of information being printed and how prominent the tag should appear once attached.

55 × 85 mm Hang Tags

The 55 × 85 mm hang tag is the most compact option in the range. It provides enough space for a logo, product name, short message or simple branding without making the tag overly dominant.

This format is useful for smaller products, bottles, jars, accessories and packaging where the tag should support rather than overpower the product.

98 × 98 mm Hang Tags

The 98 × 98 mm hang tag provides a larger near-square area for branding and information. The additional surface is useful for more visual designs, larger logos, QR codes or layouts that require more breathing space.

74 × 105 mm A7 Hang Tags

The 74 × 105 mm A7 hang tag provides more vertical space and is useful when branding needs to be combined with additional product details, instructions or promotional messaging.

It is particularly practical for double-sided designs where the front carries the main visual identity and the reverse carries more detailed information.

Single-Sided or Double-Sided Hang Tag Printing?

Packonic's custom printed swing tags can be ordered with printing on one side or both sides. Choosing between them should depend on the role the tag needs to perform rather than simply the amount of artwork available.

Single-sided printing works well when the tag is primarily being used for visual branding, such as displaying a logo, brand name, product collection or short promotional message.

Double-sided hang tag printing gives the tag a second information layer without increasing its physical size. For example, the front can carry the logo and main artwork while the reverse includes product details, care instructions, ingredients, website information, a QR code or a discount message.

This front-and-back structure is especially useful where the tag needs to support both branding and product information.

Custom Swing Tags for Clothing, Fashion & Accessories

Custom swing tags can form an important part of clothing, fashion and accessory presentation. The tag is often one of the first physical brand elements a customer handles when viewing or opening a product.

A clothing hang tag can display a brand logo and product collection on the front while using the reverse for additional information such as sizing, care guidance, website details, social media information or a QR code.

Because the tags include a pre-punched hole, they can be attached using an appropriate string, ribbon or fastening system as part of the normal product preparation process.

Retail Hang Tags for Product Branding

Retail hang tags are not limited to clothing. They can be attached to bottles, jars, accessories, handmade products, gift packaging, cosmetics, hampers and many other products where additional branding or information is useful.

This can be particularly valuable when several products share the same main packaging. Instead of producing completely different packaging for every variation, individual product hang tags can help identify flavours, collections, product types or seasonal editions.

Tags can therefore work as an additional communication layer without requiring the primary box, bottle or container to carry every piece of information.

Custom Hang Tags for Bottles, Jars & Artisan Products

Bottles and jars are especially suitable for hang tags because the tag adds printable space without replacing the main product label. Packonic's rectangular product is positioned for applications including bottled cold-press juices, olive oil, honey jars and condiment products.

The tag can be used for a short brand story, serving information, product details, a promotional code, social media account or QR code while the main label remains focused on essential product information.

Parcel-style tags are also suitable for artisan products, bottled sauces, preserves and curated hampers where the tag itself contributes to a handcrafted presentation.

Branded Hang Tags for Gifts, Hampers & E-Commerce Packaging

For online orders and gift packaging, a branded hang tag can create another physical interaction with the brand before the product is fully opened.

Tags can be attached to gift boxes, ribbon, tissue-wrapped products, bottles, bags, hampers or parcels and used for thank-you messages, promotional codes, social handles or short brand stories.

For e-commerce brands, this also creates a simple connection between physical and digital packaging. A printed QR code or website address can direct the customer from the package to product information, repeat ordering or other online content.

300 GSM Printed Hang Tags with Matt Finish

Packonic's current custom hang tag range uses 300 GSM uncoated paper with a standard matt finish. The heavier paper construction provides a structured tag that can remain presentable during normal handling and product display.

The products use digital printing, CMYK colour and UV ink. This provides businesses with a flexible format for logos, typography, QR codes, illustrations and other branded elements.

The current product specifications also list the tags as recyclable, providing a clear material characteristic for businesses comparing different tagging formats.

Pre-Punched Hang Tags Ready for Attachment

Packonic's hang tags include a pre-punched hole, allowing businesses to attach them with suitable twine, ribbon or other fastening methods without punching each tag manually.

This matters operationally as well as visually. Once the chosen attachment method has been standardised, tags can be incorporated into normal packing, merchandising or fulfilment workflows.

The attachment should be chosen according to the product itself. A bottle, garment, paper bag, gift box and hamper may all use the same printed tag but require a different fastening method.

What Should You Print on a Custom Hang Tag?

A useful hang tag should communicate the information that benefits the customer without becoming overcrowded. Depending on the product and available space, a tag can include:

• Logo and brand name for immediate brand recognition
• Product name or collection to distinguish ranges or variations
• Product details that do not need to appear on the primary packaging
• Care or usage instructions where relevant
• QR codes linking to digital product information or other online content
• Website or social media information to connect physical packaging with digital channels
• Discount or promotional codes for future purchases
• Thank-you messages for retail and e-commerce orders

If several pieces of information are required, consider using double-sided printing rather than reducing every element to fit on one side.

Custom Hang Tags with QR Codes

QR codes can turn a small physical tag into a route to much more detailed digital information. Instead of trying to fit every instruction, product story or promotional message onto the card, businesses can use a QR code hang tag to direct customers to a selected webpage.

This can be useful for product information, care guides, digital menus, brand stories, social channels, registration pages or repeat-order links.

When incorporating a QR code, the design should leave enough clear space around the code and avoid placing it too close to the punched hole, trim edge or other competing artwork.

Personalised Hang Tags for Small Businesses & Growing Brands

The four current hang tag formats start from 250 pieces, making personalised hang tags accessible for smaller product runs as well as larger commercial orders.

This can be useful for new collections, seasonal packaging, product launches, limited editions, events and businesses testing a new design before committing to a higher quantity.

The current individual product options extend to 10,000 pieces, allowing the same design and format to move from a smaller run into more regular commercial use.

Custom Hang Tag Minimum Order Quantities

The current minimum quantities are consistent across the four products:

• Custom Rectangular Hang Tags: from 250 pieces
• Custom Rectangular Kraft Hang Tags: from 250 pieces
• Custom Parcel Hang Tags: from 250 pieces
• Custom Kraft Parcel Hang Tags: from 250 pieces

Using the same minimum order across the range makes it easier to choose according to shape and presentation rather than allowing different production thresholds to determine the format.

Hang Tag Printing & UK Delivery Times

All four current custom hang tag products show approximately 14–21 business days for free standard delivery and 5–10 business days for express delivery.

Businesses preparing a product launch, seasonal collection, event or promotional campaign should allow enough time for artwork preparation, design approval, production and shipping.

Because production schedules can change, the delivery estimate displayed on the selected product page when ordering should be used for time-sensitive projects.

How to Order Custom Printed Hang Tags

Ordering custom printed hang tags UK businesses can use for retail and product packaging starts with the product itself rather than the artwork.

1. Choose the tag shape: Rectangular or parcel.
2. Select the style: Standard or Kraft.
3. Choose the size: 55 × 85 mm, 98 × 98 mm or 74 × 105 mm (A7).
4. Select print sides: One side or two sides.
5. Choose the quantity: Starting from 250 pieces.
6. Prepare the artwork: Design online or upload your own design.
7. Review the proof: Check the final artwork before production begins.

Dielines are also available on the individual product pages for businesses and designers preparing their own print-ready artwork.

Which Custom Hang Tag Is Best for Your Product?

Choose a rectangular hang tag when you want a clean, versatile format that can accommodate branding and structured product information. Choose a parcel hang tag when the silhouette itself should contribute more strongly to the packaging presentation.

Select a Kraft hang tag when the natural paper appearance complements your wider packaging system. Choose the standard version where printed artwork and brand colour should take greater visual priority.

Use single-sided printing for simpler logo-led designs and double-sided printing when the tag also needs to carry product details, QR codes, instructions or promotional information.

The most suitable option is therefore the combination of shape, size, material appearance and print sides that supports the product without adding unnecessary information or visual complexity.

How to Build a Complete Branded Retail Packaging System

A practical branded retail packaging system should be planned around the complete customer journey rather than treating the hang tag as an isolated printed item.

1. Start with the product: Identify its dimensions, how it is displayed and whether it is sold in-store, online or through both channels.
2. Choose the primary packaging: Decide whether the product needs a box, bag, wrap, bottle, jar or other main container.
3. Define the role of the hang tag: Decide whether it is mainly for branding, product information, storytelling, promotion or a combination of these functions.
4. Select the tag format: Choose rectangular or parcel, standard or Kraft, and the size that fits the product naturally.
5. Separate information by priority: Keep essential branding visible on the front and move supporting details to the reverse when needed.
6. Plan the attachment: Make sure the selected string, ribbon or fastener works with the product and packing process.
7. Coordinate supporting packaging: Match the tag with tissue paper, stickers, boxes or other branded components where they improve the customer experience.
8. Standardise successful formats: Once the combination works, keep tag specifications and artwork rules consistent for easier repeat ordering.

This approach keeps the hang tag connected to the wider packaging system and helps prevent individual printed elements from competing with each other for attention.

Which Related Branded Packaging Product Should I Choose?

If the hang tag is only one part of your packaging, use the specialist category that matches the next stage of the customer experience:

• For sealing packaging, product labels and logo branding applied directly to a surface: Custom Printed Stickers & Labels
• For wrapping products inside boxes, bags and gift packaging: Custom Printed Tissue Paper
• For e-commerce delivery, subscription orders and branded unboxing: Custom Printed Mailer Boxes

A hang tag is most useful when information needs to remain removable and visible without being printed directly onto the primary packaging. Use stickers or labels when the branding needs to adhere directly to the product or package, tissue paper when presentation happens during unwrapping, and mailer boxes when the outer delivery packaging itself needs to carry the brand.
