Clothing Tags

From £0.07 per tag
Clothing tags are printed swing tags used by fashion brands, independent designers, and retailers to carry brand identity, size information, fabric composition, care instructions, country of manufacture, and price, all on a single tag attached to the garment. As the branded tags for clothing that customers see at the point of sale, personalised clothing tags can be made in any shape and size up to A3, across the full range of materials, and configured exactly to your brand requirements. With a minimum order of just 25 and a full suite of finishing options including strings, eyelets, and cornering, clothing tags from Handy Tags are used by independent makers and established fashion brands alike.

Why use printed clothing tags?

A clothing tag is a brand statement attached to every garment you sell. Here is what a well-designed tag delivers and who it suits best.

A garment tag that carries everything the customer needs to know - and tells them who made it
Custom clothing tags that communicate brand, size, care, and compliance
A clothing tag carries your logo and brand identity on the front, with size, fabric composition, care instructions, and country of manufacture on the reverse - all on a single tag that attaches directly to the garment. Any shape and size up to A3, printed full-colour on your choice of material, with strings, eyelets, and cornering options available. For eco-conscious brands, our recycled clothing tags are printed on board carrying genuine recycled fibre content.
A fashion tag that makes a premium impression and reflects the quality of the garment it is attached to
Branded clothing swing tags for fashion, apparel, and lifestyle brands
The tag is the first physical touchpoint between your brand and your customer at the point of sale. A premium clothing tag on a foiled, metallic, or laminated material immediately elevates the perceived quality of the garment. For brands needing more space for content, our folded tags open to reveal up to four printable sides, available from A8 up to A5 and in square formats.
A clothing tag that carries unique barcodes, QR codes, or size codes - individually printed on every single tag
Variable data, sequential numbering, multiple designs, and perforation
Clothing tags support a full suite of additional production features. Variable data printing allows each tag to carry unique information - individual barcodes, QR codes, size codes, or product references. Sequential data auto-increments numbers across your run. Multiple designs split your order across different colourways or size variants. Perforation adds a tear-off section for receipts, returns, or loyalty purposes. For products sold through retail stockists, our retail hang tags cover the full range of retail applications.

Shapes and sizes

Clothing tags are available in any shape and size up to A3 (297×420mm). Standard template shapes are Rectangle, Square, Round, and Oval. Custom shapes and sizes can be ordered directly online using the calculator - simply enter your dimensions or upload your custom shape. Minimum size is 20×20mm.

Choosing the right material for your clothing tags

The full range of materials is available for clothing tags: Standard Silk, Brown Kraft, Textured, Recycled, Grey Pulpboard, Waterproof, Laminated (Matt or Gloss), Metallic (Gold or Silver), Frosted, Neon (Orange, Green, Pink, Yellow), Foiled (Gold or Silver), and Colour Board (6 colours). Standard Silk is the bestselling choice for most clothing tag applications - smooth, full-colour print-ready, and cost-effective from 25 tags. For premium fashion branding, Foiled (gold or silver) and Metallic deliver a luxury finish that elevates the perceived quality of the garment at the point of sale. For eco-conscious and ethical fashion brands, Recycled board and Brown Kraft carry recycled fibre content and complement a sustainable brand positioning - popular with independent designers and ethical clothing labels. Our Textured stock is also a strong choice for sustainability-conscious brands - while not made from recycled fibres, it is sourced from sustainably managed forests and is fully recyclable, giving it strong environmental credentials alongside its premium tactile finish. Waterproof polyester film is tear-proof and suited to outdoor and sportswear applications where tags may be exposed to moisture. For bold seasonal promotions and sale events, Neon board in orange, green, pink, and yellow provides maximum shelf visibility. Colour Board offers 6 colour choices for a distinctive branded look without printing. Laminated (matt or gloss) provides a premium finish and significantly greater durability for tags that will be handled repeatedly throughout the retail journey. Note: Waterproof and Frosted materials are not available for folded tags because they cannot be creased.

Additional production features

Clothing tags support a full suite of additional production features that go beyond standard print runs. These are particularly valuable for fashion brands and retailers managing multiple product lines, size runs, and stock variants.

Multiple Designs - Split your order equally across multiple artworks or versions. Ideal for clothing ranges with different colourways, sizes, or styles that share a single print run.

Variable Data - Personalise each tag with unique fields such as individual barcodes, QR codes, size codes, product references, or prices. Every tag in the run can carry different information. Supply your data as a spreadsheet, and we handle the merge. Essential for multi-size runs, compliance labelling, and unique QR code campaigns.

Sequential Data - Auto-increment sequences across your run (e.g., 0001 → 0002 → 0003). Ideal for numbered limited editions, inventory tracking, and stock management where each garment needs a unique reference.

Perforation - Add a single tear-off perforation to your tag design. The perforated section can be used as a returns slip, a loyalty stamp, a promotional voucher, or a feedback card - giving the customer something to keep and act on after purchase.

Finishing options

Clothing tags can be finished with a range of options to suit your product and brand. Strings are available in 10 options, including natural cotton twine, jute twine, nylon, and snap-lock strings - attached or supplied individually. Eyelets are available in black, gold, and silver and reinforce the drill hole for a professional finish. Cornering options include square as standard and rounded or luggage corners for an alternative aesthetic. Drill holes are available in multiple sizes. If you are attaching tags using a kimble gun with nylon fasteners, we recommend selecting a smaller drill hole size of 3mm or 4mm - a larger hole may cause the fastener to pull through and detach. These details make a significant difference to the overall finish and perceived quality of the tag.

How to get the best print results

Clothing tags are printed using full-colour CMYK or white ink on your chosen material. Supply artwork at a minimum resolution of 300dpi at the final print size. Download the artwork template for your chosen shape from the Template Downloads tab - each shape has its own template with cut lines and bleed areas marked. Keep critical content at least 5mm from all cut edges. Keep body copy at 8pt or above for legibility after printing and cutting.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I put on a clothing tag?

A standard clothing tag typically carries: brand logo and name (front), size, fabric composition, care instructions, country of manufacture, and price (reverse). For brands selling in the EU or UK, care labelling is a legal requirement. If you need more space for content, our folded tags open to reveal up to four printable sides.

Are care labels a legal requirement in the UK?

Yes. Under the Textile Products (Labelling and Fibre Composition) Regulations 2012, all textile products sold in the UK must carry a fibre composition label stating the percentage of each fibre by weight. Care instructions are also a legal requirement in the UK and EU under BS EN ISO 3758. In practice, this means your clothing tag or woven care label must include fabric composition, washing, drying, ironing, and dry cleaning instructions. A printed clothing tag is one of the most common and cost-effective ways to meet these requirements.

What is the difference between clothing tags and folded tags?

Clothing tags are single-panel swing tags printed on one or two sides. Folded tags are multi-panel tags that open to reveal up to four printable sides, giving significantly more space for care instructions, fabric details, brand story, or compliance information. Note that folded tags are not available in Waterproof or Frosted materials as these cannot be creased.

What shapes and sizes are available?

Standard template shapes are Rectangle, Square, Round, and Oval. Custom shapes and sizes can be ordered directly online using the calculator - enter your own dimensions or upload a custom shape. Sizes range from 20×20mm up to A3 (297×420mm).

Can I order different sizes on the same print run?

Yes - this is handled through the Multiple Designs feature, which splits your order equally across multiple artworks or versions. Variable Data printing can also be used to carry different size codes on each individual tag within a single run.

Can I order clothing tags with strings attached?

Yes. Strings are available in 10 options, including natural cotton twine, jute twine, braided nylon (white, grey, black, orange, red, and pink), and snap-lock strings (white and jute). Strings can be attached to the tag or supplied individually. Select your preferred string type in the calculator.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order quantity is 25 clothing tags. Quantities run from 25 up to 10,000+. Use the calculator to configure your chosen shape, size, material, and finishing options and get an instant price.
