Cut Your Tag Into a Shape People Notice
A shaped hangtag stops being a rectangle. Instead of the plain card everyone clips onto a product, it is die-cut to a custom outline, so the shape itself becomes part of the packaging. Tagging apparel in a boutique, a bottle at a market, or a gift in a shop, it puts your brand on something a shopper wants to hold and keep. Shaped hangtags start at $107.64 for a set of 50, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 24 reviews, printed in New York since 1999.
These die-cut tags punch above a plain rectangle. They carry the same price, size, and care details, they cut to a silhouette that matches your product, and the outline does half the branding for you. Want to see how shaped hangtags sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on hang tags printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $107.64, and the per-tag cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 100,000, so a full order for a season or a product line costs far less per tag than a small first batch.

What Are Shaped Hangtags
A shaped hangtag is a product tag die-cut into a custom outline instead of a standard rectangle, printed full color on one or both sides on any of 27 stocks and drilled with a hanging hole. People reach for a shaped tag when a plain rectangle would blend in: apparel tags, bottle neck tags, gift enclosures, and product labels that carry a brand mark, a price, or care details. Because the outline is unexpected, the tag gets handled and kept instead of clipped off and tossed. If you want a simpler cut, the Die-Cut Hangtags cover clean die-cut edges, and the Standard Hang Tags keep the classic rectangle right beside it.
What Shapes and Sizes Do Shaped Hangtags Come In
Shaped hangtags print at a 2 by 3.5 inch finished size and cut to any of 80 die-cut trim shapes, listed as TRIM01 through TRIM80 in the configurator. The die-cut shape is what sets this tag apart from a standard rectangular hangtag, so you can match the outline to the product it hangs on.
This is the whole point of a shaped hangtag: the outline. The finished tag runs 2 by 3.5 inch, and from there you choose the die-cut trim that shapes the edge. There are 80 trim shapes in the list, so you can round the corners, cut an arch, carve a tab, or match a silhouette to your product. Apparel brands cut a tag shaped like a hanger or a garment, drink makers cut a bottle, and gift shops cut a tag with a decorative top. The shape prints and cuts in-house, so the tag arrives finished, not something you trim by hand. One artwork file, one die-cut line, and the tag comes off the press in the exact outline you drew.
What Stocks and Finishes Are Available
4OVER4 prints shaped hangtags on 27 stocks, from 14pt and 16pt gloss cover to uncoated, cream, and kraft stocks with recycled content, white linen, silk, velvet and gloss lamination, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver and gold, StarLustre platinum, synthetic plastic, rigid vinyl, and indoor magnet. Finish is Standard or High Gloss UV Coating, and ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus a black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.
The stock list runs 27 deep, so the tag can feel however the product needs it to feel. Reach for 14pt or 16pt gloss cover for a clean everyday tag, an uncoated or cream stock for a natural look, or kraft made with recycled content for an earthy, eco-minded label. Want texture or shine? White linen reads tactile, silk and velvet lamination feel soft in the hand, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold catch the light like foil. For durability, synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl shrug off moisture, and a 17pt indoor magnet turns the tag into something that sticks. Finish each tag Standard or add a High Gloss UV Coating for extra pop, and set your ink to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back.
How Much Do Shaped Hangtags Cost

Wally cuts the tag into any shape you want
Why a $107.64 batch of die-cut hangtags does the branding a plain tag cannot.
Fifty shaped hangtags start at $107.64, and the die-cut outline turns a plain tag into part of the packaging. Cut it into any of 80 shapes on any of 27 stocks, from kraft to metallic pearl. Pick a shape, set where the hole gets drilled, and Wally prints, cuts, and drills them ready to hang.
How Do You Hang a Shaped Hangtag
Every shaped hangtag can be drilled with a hanging hole, and you choose the size, a single 1/8 inch or a single 3/16 inch, plus the position, from top center to top left, top right, and two more spots. From there you thread it with string, ribbon, or a fastener to attach it to a product, garment, or gift.
The drilled hole is what turns a printed shape into a tag you can hang. Pick a single 1/8 inch hole for standard string, twine, and thread, or step up to a 3/16 inch hole when you use thicker ribbon or a plastic tag fastener. Then choose where the hole sits: top center hangs the tag straight, top left or top right suits an angled or asymmetric shape, and there are five positions in all so the hole lands where your die-cut outline wants it. From there the tag loops onto a hanger, a button, a bottle neck, or a gift box in seconds. That one detail is why boutiques, apparel brands, and makers reach for a hangtag over a flat card.
How Do Shaped Hangtags Compare to the Rest of the Range
Shaped hangtags are the pick when the outline itself should do the talking, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a simpler die-cut, a classic rectangle, or a thicker premium stock, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up shaped hangtags against their closest siblings, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. For a heavier, more premium feel, the Premium Prestige Hangtags sit right next to them.
How Fast Can You Get Shaped Hangtags
Shaped hangtags print on a standard 5 business day turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, or even Next-day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints you choose how to proof: go straight to production when your file is ready, request a free online proof to approve the layout on screen, or order a hardcopy proof to check the die-cut and color in your hand first. Compare every turnaround tier and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

Setting Up Artwork for a Shaped Hangtag
Every shaped hangtag is produced at a 2 by 3.5 inch finished size, and the die-cut trim shapes the outline inside that footprint. Pick the shape first, from the 80 listed as TRIM01 through TRIM80 in the configurator, because the outline decides where your logo, price and care details can sit.
Then set the hole. Choose a single 1/8 inch hole for string and twine or a 3/16 inch hole for ribbon and plastic fasteners, and place it at top center for a straight hang or top left or top right for an angled shape, with five positions in all. Set the ink to 4/0 for a printed front and blank back, 4/1 for a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Take the free online proof to check the layout on screen, or a hardcopy proof to hold the cut shape before the run.
Shaped Hangtags: Frequently Asked Questions
Do shaped hangtags come with the hanging hole already drilled?
Yes, Hole Drilling and Hole Drilling Position are both options on the order form, so the tag arrives ready for string, ribbon, or a plastic fastener. Pick the position that suits the shape, since a hole placed on a narrow part of the outline leaves less material around it. You supply the string or loop yourself.
What is the finished size of a shaped hangtag?
Every tag is produced at a 2 by 3.5 inch finished size, with the die cut shaping the outline inside that footprint. There are 80 shapes to choose from under Diecut Trim. If your product needs a longer tag, check the shape library first, because the outline can change the visual proportions considerably.
What does a set of shaped hangtags cost?
A set of 50 starts at $107.64, and the per tag price drops as the run climbs toward 100,000. Apparel brands tagging a full season usually order at a tier well above the minimum for that reason. The configurator recalculates as you change quantity, stock, and finish.
Which stock should I pick for tags on clothing?
There are 27 stocks, including gloss, uncoated, cream, kraft, white linen, silk, velvet and gloss lamination, metallic pearl, synthetic plastic, rigid vinyl, and indoor magnet. Kraft and uncoated read as natural and take pen writing well for hand pricing. Synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl hold up better on tags that get handled repeatedly on a rack.
Can the back of the tag carry care instructions or a price?
Yes, you can print full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides, set under Ink Color. A blank back is the choice if staff will write sizes or prices by hand, and an uncoated stock accepts ink better than a gloss one. Full color both sides suits care symbols, a barcode area, or a short brand story.
How quickly can shaped hangtags be produced?
Standard production is 5 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day and Next-day rush available. Shaped hangtags are rated 4.7 out of 5 across 24 reviews. Choose the rush level before checkout, since it is set as part of the order rather than afterward.
What is a hangtag?
A hangtag is a printed card that hangs from a product by a drilled hole and a string, ribbon or plastic fastener, instead of sticking to it. It carries the brand mark, the price, the size or the care details on apparel, bottles and gifts. A shaped hangtag is the same tag cut to a custom outline rather than a rectangle, 2 by 3.5 inch at 4OVER4.COM, on any of 27 stocks.
How can I make my own hang tags?
Choose one of the 80 die-cut shapes, build your artwork to the 2 by 3.5 inch finished size, and decide whether the back is blank, black or full color. Add the hanging hole in the configurator, 1/8 inch or 3/16 inch, in one of five positions. Upload the file, pick a stock from the 27 offered, and approve a free online proof or a hardcopy proof before the run prints. Sets of 50 start at $107.64 and arrive cut and drilled.
What is the difference between a label and a hangtag?
A label sticks to the product or its packaging with adhesive, so it stays put and can be covered by whatever wraps the item. A hangtag hangs free on a string or fastener through a drilled hole, so a shopper can turn it over, read both sides and keep it. Hangtags suit apparel, bottle necks and gifts where you do not want anything stuck to the item. Shaped hangtags cut that tag to a custom outline in 80 shapes.
