From £0.08 per tag

Laminated swing tags are printed on 350gsm silk-coated board with a protective laminate applied to both sides, available in either a high-gloss or matt finish. The laminate significantly increases durability and gives the finished tag a premium, tactile quality that unlaminated alternatives cannot match. These are among the most durable swing tags in the Handy Tags range.

Why choose laminated swing tags?

Laminated is the choice for brands that need a tag to look as good after handling as it did on day one. Here is what it delivers and who it suits best.

A smudge-proof, scuff-resistant tag that withstands repeated handling

Protective laminate on both sides

The laminate coating seals the printed surface on both sides, protecting against smudging, scuffing, and minor moisture. This makes laminated tags the right choice for products that will be frequently handled or stored near liquids.

A choice of finish to suit your brand - high-impact gloss or refined matt

Gloss or matt lamination

Gloss lamination intensifies printed colours and creates a reflective, high-impact surface. Matt lamination produces a smooth, non-reflective finish that suits a more understated, sophisticated brand aesthetic.

A premium feel that communicates quality at the point of sale

350gsm silk base with laminate finish on both sides

The combination of 350gsm silk-coated board and a laminate finish creates a tag with significant weight and tactile quality. The finished tag feels substantial and considered - reinforcing the perceived value of the product it is attached to.

How to get the best print results from laminated swing tags

Laminated swing tags are printed on 350gsm silk-coated board using full-colour CMYK printing, with laminate applied to both sides after printing. To achieve the sharpest result, supply artwork at a minimum resolution of 300dpi at the final print size. The silk-coated base holds fine detail well. Type down to 6pt stays legible, though 8pt and above reads better for body copy.

Choosing between gloss and matt lamination

Gloss lamination adds a reflective coating that intensifies printed colours, especially vivid, saturated designs. It suits retail, gifting and bold brand identities. Matt lamination gives a smooth, non-reflective surface with a quieter, more refined finish. It also resists fingerprints better, which is why minimalist and luxury brands tend to choose it. Protection and durability are identical either way.

Single-sided vs double-sided printing

Most customers choose double-sided here, since both faces carry the same protective finish and the tag looks equally polished front and back. Single-sided printing is available too. One thing to know: the laminate surface doesn't accept most pen types, so if you need to handwrite on the reverse, a label or an unlaminated reverse is the practical route.

Choosing the right size and shape for your product

The most popular rectangle sizes for laminated hang tags are 50x100mm and 70x90mm, which suit most retail and clothing applications. For laminated luggage tags, A8 Strip 37x105mm and 60x140mm are popular sizes with space for contact and identification details. Round laminated tags make a striking choice for premium products - available from 40mm to 90mm diameter. Templates are available to download in rectangle, round, square, and oval shapes.

Finishing options that work well with laminated board

Rounded corners work particularly well on laminated tags. They soften the look and reduce the risk of the laminate lifting at the corners over time. A standard 4mm drill hole is recommended for string attachment - gold or silver eyelets pair nicely with both gloss and matt surfaces. Braided nylon string, available in six colours, matches the clean, finished feel of a laminated tag.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between gloss and matt laminated swing tags?

Gloss laminated tags have a reflective, shiny surface that makes colours appear more vivid and saturated. Matt laminated tags have a smooth, non-reflective surface with a more refined, understated finish that resists fingerprints. Both finishes are applied to both sides of the 350gsm silk base and offer identical durability and smudge resistance. The choice comes down to brand aesthetic - gloss for high-impact, bold brands; matt for luxury, minimal, or fashion-forward brands.

Are laminated swing tags suitable for use near cosmetics or essential oils?

Yes, and this is one of their most common uses. The coating on both sides stops the printed design smudging or degrading if the tag touches oils, creams or light moisture, which makes laminated tags a reliable choice for cosmetics, essential oils and candles.

How do laminated swing tags differ from waterproof swing tags?

Pick laminated for indoor use where a premium finish matters most, and waterproof for outdoor, horticultural or industrial settings where the tag gets properly wet.
