PrintFirm’s hang tags are printed on durable 14-point card stock. Our flat tags come in 11 sizes ranging from 2” X 2” all the way up to 3” X 7”.  Printing can be on one or both sides. You have the option of a glossy UV coating that repels dirt and moisture or a non-UV coating that is matte in appearance. Available hole punch positions are top left, top center, and top right. The corners can be rounded for a non-standard look. Available corner radiuses are 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch.

The following hang tag printing tips should help you achieve success with your hang tag campaign.

1. High resolution is king! PrintFirm recommends that any uploaded images for hang tag printing have a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). Lower resolutions may look fine on your screen, but once they are printed out, they will look fuzzy or pixelated. Practice caution when using images found online because they are typically low resolution. To check the DPI of an image, open it in a reputable graphic design program and make a note of the file details.
    
2. Pay attention to contrast Dark-colored text on a dark background is rarely a good idea for hang tag printing. Your product tags will not be readable enough. Light-colored text on a light background also reduces readability.
    
3. Leave room for bleed Offset printers such as PrintFirm require a margin of error during the cutting process of hang tag printing to ensure consistent quality. This is also known as bleed space. Extend your design about 1/8 of an inch past the design borders.
    
4. Buy in bulk If possible, choose bulk hang tag printing. One large order makes better economic sense than several smaller orders. Offset printers such as PrintFirm require initial resources to setup each printing job, but once the design is loaded into the machine, the cost per copy decreases as the number of copies increases.
