Customer experience can become a nicer one with the use of properly designed hang tags in your products, consider this as a possible deal-breaker between a potential customer that is just browsing around looking for interesting products, or a confirmed closed sale. This is essential for when a customer grabs up a garment or product, one of the first thing they will look at is the label and if the product has a hang-tag, probably will look first to the hang tag rather than looking at the label itself. Not just looking for the price, but looking out for a story or a portion of text explaining what makes this product special.
The tactile dimension of the hang tag can communicate a delicate short message (with a light paper stock like the 14pt for example) or a stronger advice style message with a 18pt kraft paper stock. We need to figure out what would be the best paper thickness and texture for your purpose before we proceed with placing an order. Having the right paper thickness and texture strategy can add extra-value to the whole hang tag purpose.

Maybe you already noticed we have about 20 different sizes available, we know that with so many uses, 1 size will not fit it all, so here are some reference on how our customers tend to use each of the sizes available on our site:
The Minimalist. Best option for small items, a larger hang tag than the product size will not look appropriate and may distract the view, so with this one we have you covered. Common uses: Jewelry tags, size markers (S/M/L) attached to a main tag, or "Thank You" tags tied to a bag handle.
The Classic. Familiarized already by the business card size, this hang tag can be considered the standard US size. Solves perfectly every need, decent size and very cheap prices to print and use while creating size consistency with your business card size as well.
The Slim Extended. The extra taller space, will allow you for some extra creativity, like adding a QR-Code, or bigger pricing, without getting to close to your logo area. Ideal for t-shirts and hoodies.
The Bookmark size. We have already seen customers ordering bookmarks to use them as hang tags, so this is no surprise that we will include bookmark sizing into our hang tag product for sure. These are popular as it looks elegantly long strips for specialized items. We see these used often on Denim Jeans (attached to the back belt loop), Wine Bottles (hanging from the neck), or as actual bookmarks included as free gifts.
The Modern Square. Becoming more popular as the years passes on, these are considered as a larger square that brings up a beautiful and contemporary "Instagram-ready" look. These are fantastic choice for artisan candles, soap boxes, and bakery packaging where you have a larger surface area to cover.
The Storyteller. If you are able to fold the tags, this is a good choice for you. Available in 2x4 (folds to 2x2) and larger. These are cute mini-brochures that gets often place inside for "Care Instructions," "Our Origin Story," or a "Return Policy." Essential for high-maintenance garments.
Note: we no longer run folded hang tags ordering directly through the web-ordering system, if you need folded tags, please contact us first to see if we can do a special run for you.
These folded tags help much for when a single surface is just not enough and larger products or garments. Brands leverage of the multi sectioning, for a larger logo, images or icons along with text data on other panels.
These panels are also meant for the inclusion of legal data, instructions for washing garment, country of origin or maybe a barcode section. All on its own space and breathable to see and read.
We print and score the tags while they are open, and ship them opened too, then you can fold the tags by the score section yourself once in your hands.
All our hang tags come with an optional 1/8" (0.125 inch) drill hole. This is the industry standard size, designed to fit:
Positioning Matters: We have 3 main position options for the hole, on our pre-design templates we show you the 3 options marked with a red-circle on the each final hole position (the Top Center, Top Left, or Top Right).
Design Tip: Download our pre-designed templates so you can see exactly where the hole positioning falls in within your design, to avoid having the logo punched through.
We have covered every apparel and fashion need From streetwear to bridal gowns, streetwear brands often use Glossy tags with vibrant graphics and pricing. We also like it when sustainable brands prefer Kraft or Uncoated to mark a difference and support the environment. This one is easy to predict, bridal shops love the Pearl stock.
When you are selling candles, it is always good to add instructions, what the candles are made of and many other details that often will look better on a folded hang tag. Safety warning also recommended to be included.
Playing at the kitchen a little bit by making some unique and specialty sauces, oils, or wines? For these, we strongly recommend the small batch run for local testing, It's cheaper to hang a tag on a bottle neck than to reprint the main adhesive label for a limited-edition flavor.

Common questions about hang tag specs, files, and ordering.
Reading the specs 14pt to 16pt, and glossy to matte, you might not notice much of a difference, right? But these are completely different type of paper and created for 2 completely different customer experiences and product selection. The difference comes within the thickness, the way you appreciate the colors, the softness of the matte, shiny deeper colors from the glossy UV finish. We recommend you think about it for a few minutes to see what’s the ideal and expected finish you wish on your product hang tag before deciding. 14pt thick paper is the standard one, used mostly for 60% of all hang tags printed by CheapFASTprinting, the 16pt matte, gives smoother final touch feel for more luxury and unglared printing content.
By choosing the right stock and finishing, you are capable of getting writable hang tags. For this, avoid the UV coating on the section that you wish to write on. The 14pt uncoated, 16pt matte and 18pt kraft papers are ideal for this purpose. If you want to write in the back only, you can add UV coating to the front and non-UV on the back too, this will work just as fine.
Unfortunately, no, we don’t include these with your order, we only take care of the printing and hole drilling parts. We hope to introduce strings, ribbons and pins to get sold separately in the near future.
Our favorite eco-friendly paper for hang tags is the 18pt Premium Kraft stock that is made from visible compacted recycled fibers being 100% recyclable, making it an excellent choice for sustainable and eco-conscious brands.
Hang tags are made out of paper, so we don’t recommend or consider it water-resistant in all of its flavor. But with the help of our High Gloss UV additional protective coating, we can assure that ink and paper will last longer to any light splashes of water, humidity and many other scratches and eventualities that can occur during product handling or display.
All of our hang tag sizes will carry the same drill hole of 1/8" (0.125 inches). This is the standard industry hole measure that will fit with any aftermarket clips and strings.
The bleed effect consists in extending non-essential background colors or images beyond the trim cutting line, so after the hang tag gets cut off, it will look like the printer printed it all the way to the edge of the paper. For this you need to allow at least 1/8” (0.125” each side) additional covered space.
We offer many design services for free, we can build a unique hang tag design for free, we can run free edits on your design, get you a free logo setup, and many other graphic design related free services (like free QR-code creation as well).
Absolutely yes, we can even generate a custom QR code for you and add it to your design upon request. These are great for linking to your website or social network like TikTok or Instagram. We encourage customers to use QR-codes on non-reflective surfaces like matte or uncoated as the glossy finish glare can interrupt the correct reading of the code.
We prefer JPG format with color settings set to CMYK. To avoid object shifting, font changes and many other possible issues. If your file is not JPG CMYK, we could need to send you a final email design proof on how the files will look after we set them up with the correct printing formats. We also accept high-resolution (300 DPI) JPG, TIFF, PSD, and AI files.
This hang tag folding service is currently unavailable through our printing processing online system. Please contact us to see if we can make an exception for your order.
Screens use RGB (Red Green Blue) light to display the colors, while printers use CMYK (Ink) to put the image on the paper canvas. Some neon or very bright RGB colors cannot be printed perfectly in ink. We will convert all files to CMYK before printing, which may shift the colors slightly on the final output. To avoid any surprise, we recommend designing in CMYK mode for accuracy and crisp results.
Yes, we offer "Rounded Hang Tags" as a specific product option for you. The standard radius is 1/4". This gives a softer, modern look and feel compared to the sharp square corners. If you want to level up the game with a delicate finish, this is a great choice.
Standard production takes 2-4 business days to be printed and ready. This does not include the shipping time to get to your door. Complex orders (Folded tags or special shapes) may take 1-2 extra days so we can make sure they are finished beautifully.
No. Each quantity (e.g., 1,000 tags) is for one design file only. If you need 500 of Design A and 500 of Design B, these are treated as two separate orders of 500. This is how we can keep the production flow efficient and the prices economically low as possible for you.
We can print as few as 100 tags (Digital Press) if you are just starting out, but the best price-per-tag value starts at 500 or 1,000 tags (Offset Press). We recommend higher quantities to keep your cost on the cheap side of the scale.
Yes, we offer Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air shipping options. Please note that "Rush Shipping" speeds up the delivery truck to arrive fast, but "Rush Production" (printing faster) is a separate option that may be available for standard stocks. We do our best to fit your deadlines!

I was looking for thick tags for my jeans and the 18pt Kraft is perfect. It's super rigid and the drill hole was clean—my hemp cords fit through easily without tearing. Definitely ordering more.
I had no idea how to design a price tag. The free design team helped me set up the bleed for my logo. The 16pt Matte tags feel velvety and expensive, way better than the DIY ones I was making.
Ordered the 2x3.5 glossy tags for my boutique. The High Gloss UV is VERY shiny and makes the colors pop. I just wish I had ordered the strings with them, but the tags themselves are 10/10.
I needed space for care instructions and a return policy. The folded hang tag option is genius. The score line is perfectly centered and they fold straight. Great quality printing on the inside too.
