Custom Square Tags for Any Product

Square tags are a popular choice for retail, gift, and clothing brands wanting a clean, structured look. Also known as square swing tags or square hang tags, they bring a confident, modern feel that suits branding favouring straight lines and considered design.

Available in all materials and in any size from 20mm x 20mm up to 297mm x 297mm, square swing tags can be ordered in 5 standard template sizes or with your own custom dimensions to match your exact needs. Professionally guillotined for a crisp, neat edge, with a choice of drill hole sizes ready for your chosen fastening attachment.

With a minimum order of just 25 and a choice of swing tag materials and finishing options, small hang tags and mini swing tags work equally well for compact jewellery products as larger square gift tags do for premium retail ranges.

Why choose square swing tags?

The square format brings structure and confidence to a tag. Here is what makes it a strong choice and which products it suits best.

A tag shape that feels clean, structured, and confident on retail and gift products
Square gift tags and square hang tags for clothing, gifts, and retail ranges
The square format suits brands that favour straight lines and a considered, modern aesthetic. A popular choice for clothing tags, square gift tags, and retail ranges that want a confident, structured look rather than a softer curved shape. Available from 20mm x 20mm upward in all materials. For a fully bespoke outline, see our custom swing tags page.
Small hang tags for jewellery, accessories, or compact retail products
Small swing tags and mini swing tags scaled to suit compact products
Square tags work particularly well at small sizes, where the equal proportions keep the tag looking neat and well-balanced rather than awkwardly narrow. A popular choice for jewellery, accessories, and any product where small hang tags are needed.
A softer, more rounded square tag, in any material from the range
Rounded corner options and the full range of materials
Square swing tags can be finished with 2mm or 7mm rounded corners for a softer, friendlier look, or kept sharp for a crisp, modern finish. Available in every material we offer, from Standard Silk to Foiled and Waterproof. Order a free sample pack to compare them.

Select Your Material

Choosing your size

Square swing tags are available in any size from 20mm x 20mm up to 297mm x 297mm, the maximum that fits within an A3 sheet. Select from five standard template sizes or enter your own custom dimensions directly in the calculator, both 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 square 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

Square hang tags can be printed single or double-sided. Single-sided printing is the most cost-effective option and works well for simpler designs. Double-sided printing makes the most of the square format, ideal for displaying branding on the front with care instructions or product information on the reverse.

How to get the best print results

Square 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 square 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

Square tags are professionally guillotined for a crisp, neat edge. Add rounded corners for a softer, square look, available 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. 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.
