Recycled swing tags are printed on 350gsm uncoated white board made from 100% recycled materials from within the UK. The board is sourced through an FSC-certified supply chain, making these among the most environmentally considered swing tags in the Handy Tags range.

Why choose recycled swing tags?

Recycled is the material for brands that want every element of their packaging to withstand environmental scrutiny. Here is what it delivers and who it suits best.

Verified eco credentials your customers and stockists can trust

FSC-certified, 100% recycled source

The board is made from 100% recycled UK office waste paper, supplied through an FSC-certified chain. The recycled source material and certified supply chain make this one of the most thoroughly considered eco options in the range.

A bright white base for clean, accurate colour printing

350gsm bright white uncoated board

Unlike brown kraft and pulpboard, recycled board starts from a bright white base. Colours print with a soft, natural quality suited to organic and minimal brand aesthetics.

Eco-friendly hang tags with a natural, tactile feel

Uncoated surface with natural fibrous feel

The uncoated surface has a slightly textured, fibrous quality that distinguishes it from smooth coated alternatives. Customers can feel the difference - reinforcing the natural and sustainable positioning of the product it is attached to.

Material specification:

Stock: 350gsm uncoated recycled board
Finish: Uncoated, natural fibrous feel on both sides
Colour: Bright white on both sides
Eco credentials: 100% recycled UK office waste paper, FSC-certified supply chain

Typical applications: FSC certified hang tags for organic and natural beauty brands; sustainable hang tags for eco-conscious clothing and fashion labels; recycled clothing tags for ethical and certified fashion; recycled paper hang tags for artisan food and drink; zero-waste retailers and any brand that needs its packaging to meet the same environmental standards as its products.

Recycled cardboard tags suit brands where sustainability is central to the product story, not just an afterthought. For a natural brown alternative with artisan character, our brown kraft swing tags are a popular eco pairing. For a raw, unbleached recycled board with an industrial aesthetic, our grey pulpboard swing tags are a third eco option worth considering. For the widest colour accuracy on a white base, our standard swing tags remain the most versatile choice. 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 recycled swing tags

Recycled swing tags are printed on 350gsm uncoated recycled board using full-colour CMYK printing. To achieve the sharpest result, supply artwork at a minimum resolution of 300dpi at the final print size. The uncoated surface prints a little softer than coated stock, so keep body copy at 9pt or larger for legibility.

Designing for a bright white uncoated base

Recycled board starts from a bright white base, so colours reproduce accurately without the warm tint you get from kraft or off-white materials. This suits earthy, natural and minimal palettes. One caution: avoid very fine reversed-out text on dark backgrounds, as the surface can soften fine edges.

Single-sided vs double-sided printing

Single-sided is the most cost-effective and works well when the reverse carries handwritten information, since the uncoated surface takes ballpoint pen happily. For recycled clothing tags we recommend double-sided printing, with care instructions, fabric composition or brand information on the reverse.

Choosing the right size and shape for your product

The most popular rectangle sizes for recycled hang tags are 50x100mm and 70x90mm, which suit most clothing and retail applications. Food, drink and artisan products often go for 70x90mm, which gives practical space for ingredient or brand information. For smaller products, 35x60mm is a compact option. Round recycled tags are a popular eco choice for bottles, jars, and natural product ranges - available from 40mm to 90mm diameter. Templates are available to download in rectangle, round, square, and oval shapes.

Finishing options that work well with recycled board

Recycled board pairs well with natural cotton twine and jute twine, both of which complement the material's eco credentials and natural aesthetic. Rounded corners are a popular choice and reduce the risk of corner curling. A standard 4mm drill hole is recommended for string attachment - eyelets are available in silver, gold, and black if a more finished look is required.

Frequently asked questions

What are recycled swing tags made from?

Recycled swing tags are printed on 350gsm uncoated white board made from 100% recycled materials, specifically high-quality office waste paper sourced within the UK and supplied through an FSC-certified chain. The finished tags are fully recyclable with no coating barriers.

What is the difference between recycled, brown kraft, and grey pulpboard swing tags?

All three are eco-friendly swing tags, but they look and feel different. Recycled swing tags use a bright white uncoated board made from 100% recycled UK office waste paper through an FSC-certified supply chain - the best choice where verified environmental credentials matter most. Brown kraft swing tags use 100% virgin kraft fibre and have a natural brown colour throughout - best where a warm, rustic aesthetic is the priority. Grey pulpboard swing tags use natural unbleached 500 micron recycled fibre board with a raw, industrial character - best for brands seeking an unrefined, editorial aesthetic.

Can recycled swing tags be written on?

Yes. The uncoated surface accepts writing from a ballpoint pen or pencil, making recycled swing tags a practical choice for handwritten price tags, personalised labels, and artisan product labelling. A fine ballpoint gives the best result on the uncoated surface.
