Important Artwork Notice!

Hang a Tag That Catches the Light
The metallic foil accent sits on the front of the tag, on your logo, a border or the lettering, and it glints when a shopper picks the item up. Every tag comes on a sturdy 16pt gloss cover and arrives drilled with a single hole at the top center, ready to string off a garment, a bottle, or a gift. Sets of 500 start at $126.32 and hold a 4.6 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
On a boutique rail the foil marks the premium piece before the shopper turns the tag for the price, and the 16pt gloss stock gives even the slim 1.5" x 3.5" tag some weight in the hand.

What Is a Metallic Hangtag
A metallic hangtag is a printed product tag finished with a metallic foil accent on the front and drilled with a single hole so it strings onto merchandise. At 4OVER4 these tags print on 16pt gloss cover in 9 sizes from 1.5" x 3.5" up to 3.5" x 3.5", with the size, ink coverage, coating, and metallic accent all set in the live configurator.
A hang tag tells a shopper what they are holding: the brand, the price, the size and the care. This one adds a metallic foil accent to the front. You get one stock here, a sturdy 16pt gloss cover, printed full color on the front with the metallic accent, and either a blank back or full color on both sides. Every tag comes drilled with one 1/8" hole at the top center, ready for twine, ribbon, or a plastic loop. For the plain-paper version without the shine, the Standard Hang Tags sit right beside it as the everyday pick.

What Sizes Do Metallic Hangtags Come In
4OVER4 metallic hangtags come in 9 sizes, from a slim 1.5" x 3.5" default up to a 3.5" x 3.5" square, including 1.75" x 3.5", 2" x 2", and 2" x 3.5". You can also order a custom size up to 4" x 6", and the price follows the size you pick.
The default is a slim 1.5" x 3.5" tag, the classic apparel shape that hangs neatly off a garment. Step up to 1.75" x 3.5" or 2" x 3.5" for more print room, choose a 2" x 2" square for a compact token, or go to the 3.5" x 3.5" square when you want the tag to read as its own little card. Nine set sizes in all, and if none is exactly right you can order a custom size up to 4" x 6". All 9 sizes are grouped below the way the live configurator lists them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Wally adds the shimmer, not the cost
Why a metallic foil tag makes a product feel worth more.
A metallic foil accent on the front makes a hang tag catch light the second a shopper picks it up, and 500 start at $126.32. Print full color, pick from 9 sizes, and Wally drills the hole at top center so it strings straight onto your product.
How Does the Metallic Foil Accent Work
The metallic accent is a metallic foil applied to the front of the tag, so a logo or detail catches light like real foil. At 4OVER4 you print the front in full color with the accent and leave the back blank (4/0), or print full color on both sides (4/4). You then finish the tag with no coating, a High Gloss UV coat, or a Spot UV accent on the front.
On the front, the foil turns your logo, border or lettering from flat ink into a shimmer. You control how far the color goes: 4/0 prints full color on the front and leaves the back blank, and 4/4 prints full color on both sides when you want copy, care instructions, or a barcode on the reverse. For the surface you choose no coating for a clean gloss-cover face, a High Gloss UV coat that shines across the whole front, or a Spot UV accent that adds a raised, glossy highlight to a chosen area.
For a fully foiled front the Metallic Foil Hangtags go further, and the Metallic Ink Hangtags reach the same shine with metallic ink instead.
Do Metallic Hangtags Come Pre-Drilled, and How Do You Proof
Yes. Every 4OVER4 metallic hangtag is drilled with a single 1/8" hole at the top center, ready to string. Before printing you can go straight to production or request a free online proof, and you upload print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG files.
Each tag ships with one 1/8" hole drilled at the top center, so it strings straight onto a product with twine, ribbon, or a plastic loop with no extra step. On files, you upload print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG artwork. When you order you pick your proofing: go straight to production to save time, or request a free online proof to check your layout, the metallic accent placement, and the trim before anything runs. Two proof paths, both built to keep a foil job from surprising you.
What Are Metallic Hangtags Used For
Metallic hangtags work as retail and apparel hang tags, boutique price tags, gift and product tags, and packaging accents, where the metallic foil signals a premium product the moment a shopper touches it. 4OVER4 prints them on a standard 7 business day turnaround from proof approval.
Standard production for metallic hangtags is 7 business days from proof approval. As for where they go: apparel brands string them off garments as the tag a shopper reads first, boutiques use them as price tags that feel expensive, and product makers hang them off bottles, candles, and gift sets. Pair the foil front with full color on the back for care and price details, and add a Spot UV coat on the logo.

What Goes on the Back of a Metallic Hangtag
The front carries the foil and the logo. The back carries the retail details, and you print it by choosing 4/4 rather than 4/0.
- Size and care. The two things a shopper checks after the price, and the two that stop a garment going back on the rail unread.
- A barcode. Printed on the reverse it keeps the front clean, which matters when the foil accent is the reason the tag was picked up at all.
- Copy. The line about the material, the maker or the batch that turns a price tag into part of the product.
Printing both sides moves the total, and so does adding a High Gloss UV coat or a Spot UV accent on the front, with every change showing live as you build the order. The tag still arrives on 16pt gloss cover with one 1/8" hole drilled at the top center.
Metallic Hangtags: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest order of metallic hangtags I can place?
The run starts at 500 tags, which is priced from $126.32, about 25 cents per tag. Pricing then steps down across 8 quantity tiers, reaching roughly 5 cents per tag at 25,000. If you only need a handful for a single product drop, the 500 tier is still the entry point.
Do the tags come with the hole already drilled?
Yes. Every metallic hangtag arrives with a single 1/8 inch hole drilled at the top center, so it is ready to string straight out of the box. You can change the drilling position in the Hole Drilling Position option if your artwork calls for the hole somewhere else.
What sizes are available for metallic hangtags?
There are 9 stock sizes, starting at a slim 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch default and going up to a 3.5 inch by 3.5 inch square. If none of those fit your product, you can order a custom size up to 4 inches by 6 inches.
Is the metallic part real foil or just printed silver ink?
It is a metallic foil accent applied to the front of every tag, so it reflects light the way real foil does rather than imitating it with ink. That accent is what makes a logo, a border, or lettering flash when the tag turns in someone's hand. The rest of the tag prints in full color around it.
What stock and coating do these tags print on?
All metallic hangtags print on 16pt gloss cover, which gives even a narrow tag real weight so it does not curl on a garment. You can leave it with no coating, add High Gloss UV, or add Spot UV on the front. Printing runs full color on the front only (4/0) or on both sides (4/4).
How long does production take?
Standard production is 7 business days from the point your file is approved, and shipping time is added on top of that. If you are timing tags to a product launch or a market date, order with that window in mind. A proof option is available under Proof Options before anything goes to press.
Do metallic hangtags come with string?
The tag arrives drilled, not strung. Every one is cut with a single 1/8" hole at the top center, ready to take twine, ribbon or a plastic loop, so you pick the tie that suits the product and thread it yourself. That hole is standard across all 9 sizes, from the slim 1.5" x 3.5" default up to the 3.5" x 3.5" square.
Can I print a barcode on a metallic hangtag?
Yes, on the back. Print 4/4, full color on both sides, and the reverse carries a barcode along with copy, care instructions or sizing, while the front keeps the metallic foil accent and your logo. Print 4/0 instead and the back stays blank, so the barcode has nowhere to go. Files upload as print ready PDF, JPG or PNG, and a free online proof lets you check the accent placement and the trim before anything runs.
