Minghang supports custom paper stocks, shapes, printing, foil stamping, embossing, lamination, Spot UV and attachment options as part of the private label apparel production process.
Why Custom Hang Tags Matter for Apparel Brands
Hang tags are removable branding and product-information components attached to garments before retail or shipment. Although they are not part of the garment construction itself, they play an important role in product presentation and communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many finishing techniques should I use on one hangtag?
We recommend one or two strong techniques rather than layering too many. Foil stamping + embossing is a classic premium combination. Over-finishing can dilute the impact and increase cost without adding perceived value.
Can I have different hangtags for different product lines?
Absolutely. Many brands have a "family" of hangtags — same size and shape, but different content for each collection or price tier. This maintains brand consistency while allowing product-specific messaging.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom hang tags?
MOQ depends on the paper stock, size, printing method, finishing techniques and supplier requirements.
Standard printed paper hang tags may support relatively flexible quantities, while custom foil stamping, embossing, die-cutting, specialty paper or molded silicone tags may require higher minimums or additional tooling.
For apparel orders starting at lower quantities, our product development team can review suitable specifications and confirm the applicable hang-tag MOQ before sampling or bulk production.
How thick or durable should my hang tag be?
The appropriate paper weight depends on the garment category, tag size, finishing process, packaging method and desired brand presentation.
Lightweight apparel may use thinner paper stocks, while larger tags, outerwear or tags with embossing, foil or die-cut details may benefit from heavier or more rigid constructions.
Rather than selecting GSM alone, we recommend evaluating the complete paper structure, size and finishing through a physical sample when possible.
Can you help develop a hang tag if I only have my logo?
Yes. If you already have a logo but do not yet have a finished hang-tag file, our product development team can help clarify the required size, material, information, finishing and attachment method.
You can also provide reference images or an existing tag to communicate the visual direction.
Where artwork preparation or graphic-design work is required, the scope and any applicable development cost will be confirmed before sampling begins.
What information do you need to develop a custom hang tag?
Please provide your logo or artwork, preferred tag size, product information, barcode or QR-code requirements, desired material, finishing references and target order quantity where available.
If some specifications are not finalized, you can send reference images and your garment tech pack, and our team can help identify the information needed before quotation or sampling.
Can I review the hang tag before bulk production?
Yes. Depending on the material and finishing process, you may review a digital artwork proof, material reference or physical sample before bulk production.
Important details such as size, color, logo placement, hole position, printing, finishing and attachment method should be confirmed before the bulk hang tags are ordered.
Can you add barcodes or QR codes to hang tags?
Yes. Hang tags can include barcodes, QR codes, SKU information, pricing and other product-specific information.
The brand, retailer or fulfillment provider should supply the required data and formatting specifications. Barcode and QR-code readability should be checked before bulk production where they are used for operational purposes.
How are hang tags attached to garments?
Common attachment options include string loops, cotton cords, elastic loops, plastic fasteners, safety pins and selected custom hardware.
The attachment method should be chosen according to the garment, retail presentation, packing requirements and the risk of damaging the fabric.
Placement and attachment should be confirmed in the approved sample or packing specifications before bulk production.
Can hang tags be matched with my clothing labels and packaging?
Yes. Hang tags can be developed together with your main labels, care labels, packaging, stickers and other branding components so the overall presentation remains consistent across the collection.
We can coordinate elements such as logo usage, colors, paper or material selection, finishing style, typography and attachment methods according to your brand guidelines and garment requirements.
Where multiple branding components are used in the same collection, we recommend confirming them during the sampling stage so visual consistency and production compatibility can be reviewed before bulk production.
