Select Your Material

Choosing your size

Rectangular hang tags are available in five standard template sizes, with custom width and height entered directly in the calculator, up to a maximum of 297mm x 420mm. Both standard and custom sizes can be ordered online. Choose from three drill hole positions, top left, top centre, or top right, with top centre the most popular choice.

Choosing the right material

The full range of materials is available for rectangle swing tags. Standard Silk is the most popular choice, smooth, full-colour print-ready, and cost-effective from 25 tags. Brown Kraft and Recycled board are widely used for artisan and eco-conscious product ranges. Textured stock is sourced from sustainably managed forests and is fully recyclable, giving it strong environmental credentials alongside a premium tactile finish. Foiled and Metallic options are popular for premium gift products and luxury retail. Waterproof polyester film is tear-proof and suited to outdoor products. Frosted film gives a semi-translucent premium finish suited to cosmetics and high-end gifting. Laminated (matt or gloss) provides excellent durability for tags that will be handled repeatedly.

Single or double-sided printing

Rectangle tags can be printed single or double-sided. Single-sided printing is the most cost-effective option and works well when all the information you need fits on one side. Double-sided printing makes the most of the tag, ideal for displaying branding and imagery on the front with care instructions, barcodes, or terms and conditions on the reverse, without needing a larger tag.

How to get the best print results

Rectangular swing 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 size from the Template Downloads tab or the rectangle tag templates page; each template includes the cut line, bleed area, and drill hole position. Keep critical content at least 3mm from the cut edge. 4pt is the minimum text size we can print for legibility; 8pt or above reads most clearly after printing and cutting.

Finishing options

Rectangle swing tags are professionally guillotined for a crisp, neat edge as standard. For a more traditional swing tag look, choose luggage style corners (also known as angled or shoulder corners), typically set at 45 degrees and cut using precision die-cutting. Alternatively, soften the tag with rounded corners in 2mm or 7mm radius. Choose from six drill hole sizes - 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, or 9mm - in one of three positions: top left, top centre, or top right. If you choose luggage corners, the drill hole sits top centre, as the angled cut removes the top corners of the tag. Strings are available in 11 options, including natural cotton twine, jute twine, and snap-lock strings, attached or supplied individually. Eyelets are available in black, gold, and silver to reinforce the drill hole and fit the 4mm drill hole size. If you are attaching tags using a Kimble gun with nylon fasteners, we recommend a smaller drill hole size of 3mm or 4mm to prevent the fastener from pulling through.
