Hang tag sizes

A hang tag is the little card tied to a shirt, a gift or a jar with a string through its hole. Most are about the size of a business card or a bit longer. Here are the common sizes, so you can start from one that fits.

Typical sizes, not a standard: every printer's list is a little different. Width is across the tag, height from the bottom edge up to the top with the hole.

Corners and the hole

  • Beveled or square: the classic tag has both top corners cut off at 45°. A square tag is a plain rectangle, just as easy to cut.
  • The hole: 6 mm across is the usual size for a string. It sits in the middle, near the top edge. Set it to 0 if your tag hangs another way.

Which card?

Hang tags are printed on thick card, so they stay flat and don't tear at the hole. Ask your printer which stocks they have; kraft card is a popular choice for a natural look.
