Asma Tag Etiketleri: What Hang Tags Are and How to Specify Them

What Asma Tag Etiketleri Are and How They Attach

Asma tag etiketleri, called hang tags in English, are printed cards that attach to a product with a string threaded through a punched hole. UPrinting supplies finished tags with holes punched in a choice of 5 locations, and Greenerprinter sells its range as tags with string, so the tag fastens to the item without any sewing step.

That attachment method separates hang tags from the garment-attached branding options a clothing line can choose. Woven labels sit sewn inside clothing, while patches go on the outside: Dutch Label Shop describes its woven patches as more robust and structured than woven labels, ideal for external placement and high-impact branding on jackets, uniforms, bags, and accessories. A hang tag works differently — it hangs from the finished product and delivers information the customer can see and handle directly.

The format also travels beyond garments. VistaPrint notes that hang tags easily attach to items like bags, boxes and more, which is why gift shops, boutiques, and jewelry brands use the same card format that clothing lines do.

What Hang Tags Communicate and Who Uses Them

A hang tag carries three kinds of buyer information on one visible card: price, care instructions, and brand identity. VistaPrint recommends using them to display pricing, share fabric care and showcase your logo, all while adding an enticing touch to your packaging, and positions custom hang tags as a way to make it easier for customers to see what makes your products special.

Industries divide that card space by what their buyers need. Greenerprinter reports that clothing lines use hang tags for size and price tags, makers and skincare brands for product stories and care instructions, and gift shops and boutiques for branded price tags. UPrinting structures its own catalogue the same way, offering hang tags specialized for clothing, gifts, jewelry, and retail applications.

In practice, one printed card can carry the price, the care instructions, and the logo at the same time, and it stays readable at a glance because it hangs outside the product rather than sitting in a seam.

How to Specify Hang Tags: Material, Shape, Finish, and Attachment

Specifying a hang tag order comes down to four decisions — material and weight, shape, finish, and attachment — plus order volume. Work through them in that order, because the stock and shape you choose determine which finishes and hole positions make sense for the card.

1. Fix the paper stock and weight. Wunderlabel prints hang tags on standard paper, 100% recycled paper, or kraft paper, and rates every one of them at 300gsm, calling that the perfect weight for professional quality clothing tags because the paper is sturdy and feels substantial in your hand. Ask your printer which stocks it carries, since stock ranges differ between suppliers.
2. Pick the shape. Die-cut printing lets you order hang tags in a choice of different shapes, and UPrinting offers shapes including oval and rectangle. If you want a raised, tactile surface instead of a flat print, Greenerprinter lists embossed hang tags alongside its die cut hang tags.
3. Match the finish to your market position. UPrinting offers metallic and foil hang tags for upscale brands and special occasions; embossed hang tags give premium lines a second option. Request a printed sample of any finish before committing the full run.
4. Specify the attachment. Decide where the string enters the card — UPrinting punches holes in a choice of 5 locations on finished tags — and confirm the string itself with your supplier as part of the order.
5. Set the order volume. Greenerprinter points buyers who are purchasing at volume to its wholesale custom tags, so ask for wholesale pricing rather than unit pricing before you place a large order.

Data and Evidence

The table below collects the hang tag specifications that the suppliers cited in this guide state on their own product pages. Treat each row as that supplier's stated offering for its own range rather than a universal industry standard, and recheck the figures on the supplier's page before you order.

Two checks keep the order safe. First, match every number on your quotation — paper weight, stock name, hole position count — against the supplier's published product page. Second, request a printed sample of the exact stock and finish before the production run, because a 300gsm kraft card and a foil metallic card give the customer very different impressions in hand. As a next step, shortlist two suppliers, ask each for a sample of your preferred stock and finish, and compare the cards on your actual product before placing the order.
