Foiled Swing Tags

From £0.12 per tag

Foiled swing tags are printed on 350gsm silk-coated board with a hot foil finish applied to artwork elements in gold or silver. The foil creates a bright, reflective metallic surface that immediately communicates luxury - at a price point that makes premium branding accessible from just 25 swing tags.

Why choose foiled swing tags?

Foiled is the choice for brands that want a genuinely luxurious finish without large minimum orders or premium print costs. Here is what it delivers and who it suits best.

A luxury metallic finish that communicates premium quality instantly
Hot foil in gold or silver
Hot foiling applies a metallic film directly to the artwork using heat and pressure, creating a crisp, reflective finish that standard CMYK printing cannot replicate. The result reads as genuinely premium, not printed metallic.
A prestigious tag that elevates the perceived value of any product
350gsm silk base, luxury result
The foil sits on a smooth 350gsm silk-coated base, giving the tag both visual and tactile quality. The combination of a substantial board weight and a reflective foil finish creates a tag that feels as premium as it looks.
Luxury branding from a low minimum order
Minimum order from 25 tags
A minimum order of just 25 makes foil hang tags accessible for independent brands, small product runs, and seasonal or limited-edition releases - not just large production volumes.

Material specification:

  • Stock: 350gsm silk-coated board
  • Finish: Hot foil applied to all artwork elements - gold or silver
  • Colour: White base - foiled artwork on a white background as standard
  • Benefits: Prestigious metallic finish; comparable luxury result at a fraction of traditional foil print costs

Important note on artwork: All text and graphic elements in your artwork will be foiled. The foil is applied over a white 350gsm silk base, so the background will be white. If you need a coloured background or a combination of foil and standard CMYK printing, please ask about our spot foiling option via the Ask a Question tab below.

Typical applications: Gold foil hang tags for jewellery, accessories, and luxury fashion; silver foil tags for premium cosmetics and beauty; foil swing tags for wedding gift tags and event stationery; luxury swing tags for premium spirits, confectionery, and gifting; foil printed tags for seasonal and limited-edition product releases.

For a metallic finish that comes from the board material itself rather than a foil process, our metallic swing tags are a popular alternative. Minimum order: 25 tags. Available in a wide range of sizes and custom shapes. Free UK mainland delivery.

How to get the best print results from foiled swing tags

Foiled swing tags are produced on 350gsm silk-coated board with hot foil applied to the artwork after printing. Supply artwork at a minimum resolution of 300dpi at the final print size. For the cleanest foil result, artwork elements to be foiled should be supplied as solid, filled shapes. Thin strokes, small text below 8pt, and very fine detail may not foil as crisply as bolder elements.

Artwork requirements for foiling

All text and graphic elements in your artwork will be foiled - the foil is applied to everything in the design. The foil sits on a white 350gsm silk base, so the background will always be white as standard. If you need a coloured background alongside your foil, or want only certain elements foiled while others print in standard CMYK colour, ask about our spot foiling option via the Ask a Question tab before placing your order.

Choosing between gold and silver foil

Gold foil gives a warm, rich, traditional luxury finish - well suited to jewellery, premium food and drink, and wedding or occasion stationery. Silver foil has a cooler, more contemporary feel and works well for cosmetics, fashion, and modern premium brands. Both produce the same high-contrast reflective finish on the white silk base. If you are unsure which suits your brand, order a free sample pack to see both options in person.

Choosing the right size and shape for your product

The most popular rectangle sizes for foil hang tags are 50x100mm and 70x90mm, which suit most jewellery, fashion, and gift applications. For a more compact luxury tag, 35x60mm works well on smaller products. Round foiled tags in 50mm or 60mm diameter are a distinctive choice for premium product ranges and gift items. Templates are available to download in rectangle, round, square, and oval shapes.

Finishing options that work well with foiled board

Gold eyelets are a natural pairing with gold foil, and silver eyelets complement silver foil beautifully - both add a further premium detail to the finished tag. Braided nylon string in black or grey complements the foil aesthetic well. Rounded corners soften the tag and suit the premium positioning of foiled products.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have only part of my design foiled?

Not with the standard foiled swing tag product. Standard foiling applies the foil to all artwork elements across the whole design. If you need only specific elements foiled - for example, a logo or border - alongside standard CMYK printed colour, this is spot foiling and is available as a separate option. Use the Ask a Question tab to discuss spot foiling before placing your order.

What is the difference between foiled and metallic swing tags?

Foiled swing tags use a hot foil process to apply a metallic finish to specific artwork elements on a white board. The metallic effect is applied as a layer on top of the design. Metallic swing tags use a board that has a metallic coating throughout - the shimmer is a property of the material itself, not applied as a separate process. Foiled tags give a sharper, higher-contrast metallic finish; metallic tags give an all-over shimmer across the entire surface.

Are foiled swing tags suitable for wedding gift tags?

Yes. Foiled swing tags are one of the most popular choices for wedding gift tags and event stationery. Gold foil on a white silk base suits classic and traditional wedding aesthetics, while silver foil suits contemporary and minimalist themes. With a minimum order of just 25 tags, foil swing tags are practical for both smaller wedding runs and larger events.
