Tag Your Products With Something That Survives the Rack
Paper creases, wicks water, and tears at the punch hole after a few handlings. A synthetic or rigid vinyl (PVC) hang tag stays crisp on a crowded rack, in a cooler, in a greenhouse, or outdoors on a swing ticket, carrying your logo, price, and care details without wrecking. Tag apparel, bottles, plants, or hardware, and your brand can take a beating. Printed in-house at a New York City plant, plastic hang tags start at $25.27 for 50 tags, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 22 reviews.
These tags earn their keep. They cost about the same to print as a sturdy card, they hang from string, ribbon, or a hook, and the material does the durability work for you.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $25.27, about 51 cents a tag, and the per-tag cost keeps sliding as the count climbs across 40 quantity tiers, so a full box for a season or a product launch costs far less per tag than a quick test batch. On the largest 100,000 run each tag lands near 3 cents. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Plastic Hang Tags
Plastic hang tags are durable product tags printed full color and built to hang from string, ribbon, or a hook through a drilled hole, on any of 20 stocks that include 15pt synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid vinyl (PVC). People reach for plastic when a paper tag would fail: apparel swing tickets, bottle neck tags, plant and nursery labels, luggage and gear tags, and outdoor price tags. Because the stock resists water and tearing, the tag keeps looking sharp through handling that would ruin card. If you want a warmer, natural look instead, the Paper Hang Tags cover that, and the plastic sits right beside it as the version built to last.
What Size and Stock Should a Plastic Hang Tag Be
The right build comes down to where the tag lives and how much it has to say. A 2" x 2" tag is perfect for a logo, a price, and a QR code, small enough to clip onto anything. A 2" x 3.5" reads like a classic apparel swing ticket, and the longer 2" x 6" and larger presets leave room for care instructions or sizing. Seven sizes run from 2" x 2" up to 4" x 6". For stock, 15pt synthetic plastic and 18pt rigid vinyl (PVC) are the waterproof, tear-resistant picks, with coated, uncoated, linen, metallic pearl, and recycled cover on the same menu. All 7 sizes, both finishes, the full stock list, and the hole options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Here are a few easy ways to make a plastic hang tag pull its weight.
Match the plastic stock to the setting
A 15pt synthetic plastic tag is light and flexible for apparel and gift tags, while 18pt rigid vinyl (PVC) holds a firm, card-like snap for outdoor and industrial use. Both shrug off water and repeated handling, so the tag that leaves your hand looks the same after a week on a rack. A High Gloss UV Coating adds a wipeable sheen that makes color and a logo read even brighter.
Put the hole where the art wants it
Every tag can be drilled with a single 1/8" hole for thin string or a single 3/16" hole for thicker cord, ribbon, or a plastic loop, in one of 5 positions. Top center gives a balanced hang, and top left or top right keeps a corner clear when the artwork needs the room. Because the stock is plastic, the hole resists tearing out under the constant tug of a busy display.
Print one side or both
Set your ink to 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color front plus black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. A two-sided tag lets the front sell and the back carry the price, the size chart, or the care symbols, so the tag works as hard as the product it hangs on.
How Many Plastic Hang Tags Should You Order
Plastic hang tags start at $25.27 for 50 and the per-tag price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap tag really comes down to how big a run you order. Most brands land somewhere between a starter batch and a full season's supply. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-tag cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

How Do Plastic Hang Tags Compare to the Rest of the Range
Plastic hang tags are the durable pick when the tag has to survive water and handling, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a warmer paper look, an eco option, or the standard flagship, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The natural Kraft Hangtags lean rustic and recycled, and the everyday Standard Hang Tags cover the classic paper build. The chart below lines up plastic hang tags against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How Fast Can You Get Plastic Hang Tags
Plastic hang tags print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, next-day, or even same-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. Same-day orders ship that afternoon from the New York City plant, and because 99.8% of orders land on time with 82% shipping early, you are not gambling on the date. Add a free online proof before printing to confirm the artwork and the hole placement, then upload a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG. Need a matched competitor quote first?

Where a Plastic Tag Beats a Paper One
The setting decides the stock. These are the jobs this tag is built for, and the pick between the two plastics follows the handling.
- Apparel swing tickets: 15pt synthetic plastic, light and flexible, so a full rack of tags does not fight the hanger.
- Plant and nursery labels: 18pt rigid vinyl, which holds a firm card-like snap in a greenhouse and shrugs off the watering.
- Bottle neck tags and cooler stock: either plastic, since neither wicks water when the bottle sweats.
- Luggage, gear and hardware tags: 18pt rigid vinyl again, with a High Gloss UV Coating for a face you can wipe.
- Outdoor price tags: 18pt rigid vinyl, because the tag that leaves your hand has to look the same after a week outside.
Plastic costs about the same to print as a sturdy card, so the choice here is about the setting rather than the budget. For a warmer, natural look the Paper Hang Tags run the card version.
Plastic Hang Tags: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a plastic hang tag different from a paper one?
The material. A 15pt synthetic plastic or 18pt rigid vinyl PVC tag is waterproof and tear-resistant, so it does not crease, wick moisture or tear at the punch hole the way paper does after repeated handling. That matters on a crowded rack, in a cooler, in a greenhouse, or on anything that lives outdoors.
Which of the two plastic stocks should I choose?
The 15pt synthetic plastic is the thinner and more flexible of the two, which suits swing tickets that move with the garment. The 18pt rigid vinyl PVC is stiffer and holds its shape, which suits plant tags, hardware and anything slotted into a display. Both sit inside a 20 stock range that also includes coated, uncoated, linen, metallic pearl and recycled cover if you want a paper option alongside.
How much do plastic hang tags cost per tag?
Fifty tags start at $25.27, which is about 51 cents each. The price steps down across 40 quantity tiers up to 100,000, where it approaches 3 cents per tag. A grower or a manufacturer tagging a whole season usually orders once at a high tier rather than repeating small runs.
Do plastic tags come drilled for string?
Yes. The drilled hole comes in a single 1/8 inch or single 3/16 inch size, in one of 5 positions. Because the material resists tearing, the hole holds up better than paper when the tag is pulled or hung and rehung during handling.
Can they be printed on both sides?
Yes. Print full color on one side or on both, and finish plain or with a High Gloss UV Coating. Two-sided printing is common here because a durable tag often carries branding on the front with care details, plant instructions or a barcode on the back.
What sizes are available and which is standard?
There are 7 sizes, from a compact 2 by 2 inch tag up to 4 by 6 inches, with 2 by 2 set as the default. Small squares suit apparel and bottle necks, while the larger sizes give room for growing instructions or specifications that have to survive outdoors.
What are the hanging tags on clothes called?
A swing ticket. It is the tag that hangs off a garment on a string or a plastic loop, carrying the brand, the size and the price. Printed on 15pt synthetic plastic or 18pt rigid vinyl it survives a crowded rack and the constant tug on the hole, which is where a paper ticket tears first.
How can I make my own hang tags?
Pick the size from the 7 presets, from 2" x 2" up to 4" x 6", choose your stock, set the hole size and its position, and upload a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG. Add a free online proof before printing to confirm the artwork and the hole placement. Ink runs 4/0 for full color on the front, 4/1 to add black on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.
