Textured swing tags are made from 320gsm woodfree pulp - a natural, eco-friendly board with a unique felt-like surface applied to both sides. The off-white colour and tactile finish give these tags an immediate handcrafted quality that smooth-coated alternatives cannot replicate. With a minimum order of just 25, these are some of the most distinctive swing tags in the Handy Tags range.

Why choose textured swing tags?

Textured is the choice for brands where the tag's physical feel is as important as the design printed on it. Here is what it delivers and who it suits best.

A tactile, premium feel that communicates quality before a word is read

Felt-like double-sided surface

The woodfree pulp creates a soft, tactile surface on both sides of the tag. This texture is immediately noticeable to the touch and communicates craftsmanship and quality in a way that smooth board cannot.

A natural, handcrafted aesthetic for artisan and premium brands

Off-white, natural finish

The subtle off-white tone gives textured hang tags a warm, organic character that suits artisan, natural, and premium brand positioning. The natural base works particularly well with earthy and muted colour palettes.

An eco-friendly material with premium tactile credentials

320gsm woodfree pulp, eco-friendly

Woodfree pulp is a natural, eco-friendly material that resists yellowing over time. At 320gsm it has a substantial, quality feel - rigid enough to hang well and hold its shape throughout the product lifecycle.

How to get the best print results from textured swing tags

Textured swing tags are printed on 320gsm woodfree pulp using a full-colour CMYK process. To achieve the sharpest result, supply artwork at a minimum resolution of 300dpi at the final print size. The textured surface prints with a softer, more organic quality than coated stock, so keep body copy at 9pt or above for legibility across the texture.

Designing for an off-white textured base

These tags start from an off-white base with a natural warmth. Colours print slightly muted compared with coated white stock, which suits earthy and natural palettes particularly well. Strong contrasts, dark backgrounds and minimal ink all work nicely. Avoid very fine reversed-out text, as the texture can soften fine edges.

Single-sided vs double-sided printing

Textured swing tags can be printed on one or both sides. Both faces carry the same felt-like texture, so double-sided printing keeps the premium feel consistent across the whole tag. Single-sided printing is the most cost-effective option and suits tags where the reverse will carry handwritten price or personalisation - the uncoated textured surface accepts ballpoint pen well.

Choosing the right size and shape for your product

The most popular rectangle sizes for premium textured tags are 50x100mm and 70x90mm, which suit most garment and retail applications. Gift and artisan products often choose 60x140mm for the extra room it gives brand storytelling. For smaller products, 35x60mm is compact but still feels premium. Round textured tags are a distinctive choice for artisan food, drink, and gift 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 woodfree pulp

Cotton twine and jute string complement the handcrafted character, with natural cotton twine the most popular choice. Luggage corners work well with the material's soft aesthetic. A standard 4mm drill hole is recommended for string attachment.

Frequently asked questions

What is woodfree pulp?

Woodfree pulp is a paper and board material produced without the wood-derived lignin that causes standard paper to yellow and degrade over time. The removal of lignin produces a more stable, longer-lasting material with a naturally smooth or textured finish depending on how it is processed. Our textured swing tags use 320gsm woodfree pulp with a felt-like texture on both sides.

Are textured swing tags eco-friendly?

Yes. Textured swing tags are made from woodfree pulp, a natural, eco-friendly material. The board is fully recyclable and contains no synthetic coatings or laminates. This makes textured tags a strong choice for brands with natural, organic, or sustainability-led values.

How do textured tags compare to embossed swing tags?

Embossing presses a raised pattern into the board, while textured tags carry a felt-like surface that is a property of the material itself, across the whole tag on both sides. If you want the tactile quality people look for in embossed swing tags without a separate embossing process, the textured board delivers it as standard.

Can textured swing tags be written on?

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