Which is better: kraft paper or coated paper tags

In fact, both kraft paper tags and coated paper tags have their advantages. It mainly depends on where you use them and choosing the material and thickness based on the purpose. The thickness is commonly referred to as "gsm" in the industry. In terms of material pricing, kraft paper is slightly more expensive than coated paper for the same gsm, so the overall cost is a bit higher, but the difference isn't significant.

First, let's talk about gsm. GSM is a unit of measurement for paper thickness. Different types of paper have different gsm values. For example, 300gsm coated paper means that each square meter of coated paper weighs 300 grams.

Now, let's take a look at some commonly used paper for clothing tags. You might understand better after reading this.

- 300g coated paper: Similar thickness to branded paper, suitable for making tags for lingerie, children's clothing, summer clothing, and other lightweight tags.

- 400g coated paper: Slightly thicker and stiffer than 300g coated paper.

- 800g coated paper: Thicker than a credit card, with a heavier feel.

- White cardboard: High-quality white cardboard with a smooth finish. Suitable for artistic and cultural-style tags.

- Kraft paper: There are many types of kraft paper, most of which are yellow-brown in color. Suitable for denim and vintage products.

- Black cardboard: A strong, thick, and fine-textured paper with an entirely black color. Ideal for hot stamping and UV processes.

These are just some of the commonly used materials for clothing tags. Custom tags come in many varieties, and you can choose the right one based on the product characteristics.
