Reminders before Printing Hang Tags
In hang tag printing, there are pointers that you always need to consider in order to keep the attractiveness, cost-effectiveness and quality of your hang tags. Before you decide to proceed to the printing part, you should be very careful in preparing the type of materials and the final design of your hang tags so that you can balance all aspects of production such as costs and designs.

If you are working with a professional printing company, you should coordinate with them regarding the type of paper that you will use and its corresponding price. If you are working under a budgetary constraint, you can choose the paper that has a glossy coating on one side. You can pick this one without causing any damaging effect on your brand, especially when you intend to print your design on one face of the tag only.

This kind of paper is very applicable for situation that requires professionalism and sophistication just like conducting business conferences and branding classy products. However, if you are really into stringent budgeting, you can opt to use uncoated papers. Businesses who would also want to invest more on other areas besides hang tag printing can resort to this option.

The former is expensive since you will be using a lot of ink to bring out the beauty of your design but it is still highly recommended since most of the businesses today use this as a standard for high-quality products. On the other hand, the latter option is a lot cheaper. Again, investing on this one is not risky especially when it is unnecessary for you to put a design on the back side of your tag.
After preparing good materials and searching for quality printers, you must recognize the importance of holes in your hang tags. Holes are necessary because your tags are supposed to be hung. In designing your tag, you should allot an ample space for the hole. Of course, you would not want to destroy the design of your tag. You too should coordinate this with your professional printer. Printing companies provide services such as drilling holes on your tags. They normally charge this cheaply; nonetheless, there are printers that do this for free.
Finally, you can select rounded or rectangular corners for your tag; although, the former is a lot expensive because it requires more effort on the side of the printer.
