Bottle Neck Hang Tags

The tall 2.125 by 5 inch shape hangs clear of the main label, and with full color on both sides the back carries its own message. Tags for garments, candles and gift boxes are on hang tags printing.

A 100-tag test for one vintage costs $108.75. A full bottling run needs thousands, and by 25,000 each tag costs under $0.09; the 10 tiers below show the total at each step.

What is a bottle neck hang tag

A bottle neck hang tag is a small printed tag with an opening cut to slip over the neck of a bottle, so it hangs on the shoulder facing the shopper. Here it prints full color on one or both sides at one 2.125 by 5 inch size, on 3 cover stocks, with stock, ink and proofing set in the live configurator.

The tag goes wherever the bottle goes. Wineries hang a vintage note, distilleries add a cocktail recipe, and a hot sauce brand prints the heat level where a shopper looks. You set one or two printed sides, the cover stock and the proof option, and the price updates as you go. If you want the same idea with a metallic finish, the Metallic Bottle Neck Hang Tags carry it a step further, and the general-purpose Custom Hang Tags sit right beside it for tags that hang from anything else.

Bottle Neck Labels vs Hang Tags

Shoppers and buyers use both words for the same spot on the bottle, so it is worth separating them before you order. A bottle neck hang tag is a printed card with a die cut opening that drops over the collar and hangs there. Nothing sticks, nothing has to be peeled off later, and it can be added by hand the week before a release, which is why it suits a vintage note, a seasonal message or a gift tag that changes while the bottle itself stays the same.

A bottle neck label is adhesive. It goes onto the glass and stays there, so it becomes part of the packaging rather than something added to it, and it commits you at bottling rather than at shipping. If that is what you are after, premium bottle labels cover the wrap and neck label sizes, and custom labels handle shapes and materials outside the bottle range. If the message needs two printed sides, needs to be read at shelf height and needs to come off without a trace, the hang tag on this page is the one.

What size are bottle neck hang tags

Bottle neck hang tags print at one set size, 2.125 by 5 inches, with an opening cut to fit over a standard bottle neck. The tall, narrow shape gives you a front panel and a back panel that both sit at eye level once the tag is hung. It is narrow enough to hang cleanly off the neck without covering the main label, and tall enough to carry a headline on top, a tasting note or recipe in the middle, and a QR code or barcode at the base. For a look at the finished tag, watch the bottle neck hang tags video overview.

One fixed size means one artwork layout for the whole run, and the die cuts the same neck opening on the first tag and the last. Build your file at 2.125 by 5 inches with the standard bleed and safe margin and upload it. The stock and ink list below follows the live configurator. If your project needs a different outline, the Custom Shaped Hang Tags and the Die Cut Hang Tags open up other shapes.

Bottle neck hang tag specs

The stock choice is the one that changes how the tag reads on a shelf. The 14pt uncoated cover takes a matte, hand finished look that suits a small batch producer, while the 16pt gloss and the 18pt gloss on one side hold saturated color and photography, and the 18pt has the weight to keep hanging straight rather than curling against the glass.

What stocks and ink options are available

4OVER4 prints bottle neck hang tags on 3 cover stocks, and the stock sets the feel in a shopper's hand. The 14pt uncoated cover takes a pen and reads natural and matte, which suits a craft or organic line. The 16pt gloss cover is heavier and gives color a bright, clean pop. The 18pt cover with gloss on one side is the thickest of the three, glossy on the face and plain on the back, so a signature or a lot number writes on cleanly.

Print 4/0 for full color on the front and a blank back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides when the back carries a recipe or a QR code. Every tag ships with a standard finish, and a free online proof lets you approve the exact layout before anything runs.

What are bottle neck hang tags used for

A bottle neck tag is where a brand says the thing the front label cannot fit. Wineries print the vintage, the region, and a pairing. Distilleries hang a signature cocktail. Olive oil and hot sauce makers add origin, heat level, or a harvest date. Retailers use them for a shelf promotion, a bundle price, or a gift note tied to a bottle.

At eye level on the neck, the tag has a front for the message and a back for a QR code that opens a recipe, a review or a reorder page. If a bottle is not the target, a Folded Hang Tag gives you four panels for a longer story on a boxed or bagged product.

Where bottle neck hang tags earn their place

Winery release notes. Vintage, varietal, tasting notes and food pairings live on the tag instead of crowding a back label that is already carrying legal text. A new tag every release means the bottle artwork never has to change.

Brewery seasonal tags. A limited run, a collaboration or a taproom exclusive gets its own tag over standard packaging, which is faster and cheaper than a short run of labels for a beer that ships for six weeks.

Olive oil and hot sauce gift tags. Small batch pantry goods sell on origin and heat level, both of which read better on a tag at eye level than in small print wrapped around a curve.

Spirits gifting. A tag turns a bottle into a present without a box: a message on the front, a serve suggestion or a cocktail on the back, printed full color on both sides.

Recipe and tasting notes. A two sided tag holds one recipe or a serving temperature and a decant time, which is the detail a customer keeps and the reason the tag comes off the bottle and stays in a kitchen drawer.

Event favors. Weddings, corporate gifts and holiday runs use the neck tag for a name, a date or a thank you, added by hand at the last minute so nothing has to be decided at bottling.
