Custom Christmas Gift Hang Tags

Why Good Custom Christmas Gift Hang Tags Matters

A gift tag does more than say a name. First, it carries your brand into the home. Next, it gives a space for a personal note. Then it helps shoppers choose between similar products. In addition, a well-made tag is often kept after the gift is opened. Therefore, a tag is one of the cheapest ways to make a brand memorable.

Tag Shapes and Sizes

Different gifts need different tags. So the table below compares the main shapes we make.

Sizes above are starting points only. Share the size of the item you plan to tag. We will recommend the best shape and size.

Materials, Finishes and Strings

Material choice decides how a tag feels in the hand. Finish decides how it looks under the tree. So the table below sets out the main options.

Meanwhile, most gift tags use card between 300gsm and 400gsm. That range is firm enough to hold its shape. It is also thin enough to punch cleanly.

Holes, Strings and Ribbons

The hole and string are small details that cause big problems. A hole too close to the edge tears. A string too thin cuts into the card. So we plan these details with care:

• Hole size: a 3mm to 6mm punched hole suits most ribbons and cords
• Hole position: set back from the edge to stop tearing
• Cotton or paper twine: a natural look for kraft tags
• Satin or velvet ribbon: a premium feel for luxury gifts
• Elastic loop: quick to fit on bottles and jars
• Pre-strung tags: ready to use, which saves packing time

In addition, we can supply tags unstrung. Then your team can fit strings to match each gift.

Made for Writing On

Many Christmas gift tags need a handwritten message. So the surface must take a pen well. Uncoated card and matte lamination both work nicely. However, gloss varnish can make ink smudge. Therefore, we leave a clear writing panel on the back of each tag. We can also print To and From lines to guide the writer. As a result, every tag is ready for a personal note.

Custom Christmas Gift Hang Tags for Retail Brands

On a shelf, a tag is a tiny advertisement. It can carry your logo, a price, a short story and a care note. In addition, a folded tag gives you room for longer text inside. Meanwhile, a die-cut star or tree makes the product stand out from plain stock. Therefore, retail brands use tags to lift sales as well as to decorate.

Custom Christmas Gift Hang Tags for Gift Boxes and Hampers

Tags and boxes belong together. A matching tag turns a plain gift box into a finished present. For example, a foil star tag on a rigid gift box feels special. A kraft tag on a hamper feels warm and handmade. We make tags and boxes together, so colours match every time. As a result, your gifting range looks like one clear brand.

Corporate and Event Tags

Businesses give a lot of gifts at Christmas. A branded tag makes each one feel personal. For example, you can print a team name, a thank-you line or a logo. In addition, numbered or named tags help sort gifts at big events. So corporate buyers use hang tags for client gifts, staff presents and party favours.

Order Early. Christmas Tags Have a Tight Window.

Gift tags are small, but they still need time. Printing, cutting and stringing all add days. So order before the seasonal rush. Here is a realistic guide:

• Retail brands: order by the end of September so stock reaches shops in time
• Online brands: order by early October to allow packing and dispatch
• Corporate gifts: order by early October so teams can pack early
• Small makers: order by mid-October at the very latest
