Hang Tag Spec Checklist Retail

Retail hang-tag checklist: board, hole/string, print, and barcode. Freeze specs before China peak apparel and gift seasons.

Quick answer

A usable hang-tag checklist freezes board/card stock, hole and string method, print finishes, and barcode quiet zones before mass print. Pretty designs without attachment specs create broken strings and unscannable tags in stores.

What belongs on one sheet?

List size, caliper, hole diameter, string/loop material, print colors, foil/UV accents, and any RFID or security features. Attach a photo of the intended attach point on the product.

How do you validate before mass print?

Approve pull strength of string/loop and barcode scans after typical store handling—not only flat print proofs.

What failure photos help suppliers?
