Custom Hang Tags – The Finishing Touch That Sells Your Brand
A hang tag is often the first physical touchpoint between your customer and your product. Before they feel the fabric or try on the garment, they see the tag.
At Color Creative Packaging, we design and manufacture custom hang tags that do more than just display a price. They tell your brand story — through premium paper, elegant finishes, and thoughtful attachments.
All our hang tags are:
Custom printed with your logo, pricing, barcode, and care symbols
Made from premium cardstock (250-500gsm)
Available in any shape – square, round, leaf, custom die-cut
Finished with foil, spot UV, embossing, or soft-touch coating
Attached with cotton string, elastic band, metal eyelet, or plastic fastener
