What Are Metallic Ink Hangtags

Metallic ink hangtags are product tags printed with genuine Pantone metallic ink, PMS 877 silver or PMS 872 gold, on 16pt gloss cover in 9 sizes from 1.5" x 3.5" up to 3.5" x 3.5". Shops and makers order them when a plain tag would look flat: retail price tags, apparel and boutique tags, candle and soap labels, gift tags, and product branding for a launch. Because the metallic comes from ink and not a foil layer, it can cover the entire face of the tag and still keep the price down. If you want the shine from a stamped foil instead, the Metallic Foil Hangtags deliver that, and the metallic ink version sits beside it at a lower price.

What Size Should a Metallic Ink Hangtag Be

Pick the size by what the tag has to hold. A 1.5" x 3.5" tag is the classic narrow retail shape, enough for a logo, a price, and a barcode. A 2" x 3.5" gives room for a care note or a short brand story, and the 2" x 2" or 3.5" x 3.5" squares let the metallic face read as a statement. All 9 sizes are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If none of the presets fits, set a custom size up to 4" x 6".

Silver or Gold: Which Metallic Ink

PMS 877 is a bright silver and PMS 872 is a warm gold, both real Pantone metallics that shimmer as the tag moves. Print one color on the front over a blank back to keep the run lean, or run it on both sides so both faces carry the shine. There are 8 ink setups in all across the two colors and the one-sided or two-sided options. Since it is ink rather than foil, the metallic can fill the whole tag, background and type alike, with none of the setup a foil stamp needs.

What Stock, Coating, and Hole Come Standard

Every metallic ink hangtag prints on 16pt gloss cover, a thick coated card that hangs without curling and keeps the silver and gold crisp. For finish you have three choices: leave it as printed, add a High Gloss UV coat for an all-over shine, or add a Spot UV on the front to make one detail lift off the metallic. Each tag ships pre-drilled with a single 1/8" hole at top center, so there is nothing to add before you thread it with string or ribbon. Want a last look at your file?
