How to Choose the Right Material for Custom Clothing Tags?
We often encounter questions like this: Can we return clothes after cutting off the tags? This shows that clothing tags are like an identity card for garments. In most shopping malls, clothes without tags cannot be sold regularly. So, what materials and techniques should be used to customize hang tags for your products? China LIJIE Tag Printing Factory offers a variety of choices.
Common Paper Materials for Clothing Hang Tags
1. Coated Paper: This type of paper has a very smooth surface but with low smoothness and poor gloss. It is affordable and commonly used in the production of clothing hang tags.
2. White Cardboard: Known for its fine texture, durability, and bright white color, this paper is ideal for artistic and ethnic-style hang tags.
3. Black Hardboard: A strong, thick, and fine-textured black paper with excellent penetration. It is suitable for hot stamping and UV printing.
4. Kraft Paper: Available in various types, most of which are yellowish-brown. It is suitable for jeans and vintage-style products.
How to Make Custom Clothing Tags Look More Premium?
Once the material is chosen, enhancing the look of the tag is the next step. The most popular printing techniques include:
1. UV Coating: A post-printing treatment that adds gloss to the surface and protects the paper.
2. Hot Stamping (Gold & Silver Foil): A stylish and widely used technique known as electrochemical aluminum thermal stamping. Unlike traditional printing, it does not use ink. Instead, under specific pressure and temperature, the stamping machine applies pressure to transfer patterns and text onto the paper using foil.
3. Embossing/Debossing: This technique originated in China and, like hot stamping, does not use ink. It applies pressure to create raised or recessed patterns on the printed paper.

Customized clothing tags not only enhance brand recognition but also improve brand image. If well-crafted, they may even become collectible. A sophisticated hang tag can make a significant impact on your brand’s promotion.
