Perfect for apparel, accessories, lifestyle goods, or boutique items, they combine classic aesthetics with contemporary functionality, helping brands build emotional connections with customers while maintaining professional presentation in retail spaces.

Design Benefits of Retro Tags

  • Timeless Appeal. Retro-inspired designs create a nostalgic look that resonates with customers across generations.

Durability & Functional Features

  • Quality Materials. Produced from sturdy cardstock, kraft, or textured boards that match the retro aesthetic.

How ordering works

From Artwork to Delivery in Four Steps

  1. 1

    Choose your options

    Shape, size, material, printing, finish and string. Not sure on something? Leave it and we will suggest an option with the quote.

  2. 2

    Upload your artwork

    Send a print-ready file, or just a logo and a rough idea — our design team builds the file for you at no charge.

  3. 3

    Approve the PDF proof

    We send a proof to check before anything goes on press. Turnaround begins once you approve it, so nothing prints until you have signed it off.

  4. 4

    Printing and delivery

    Your order is printed, finished, strung if you asked for it, and shipped to you anywhere in the USA.

Custom hang tags, printed in the USA

We print for apparel labels, boutiques, jewelers and retail brands across the country — from a first 100-tag run to repeat wholesale orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ticket shapes with notched or swallow-tail ends, arched tops, shield outlines, luggage-label shapes with a reinforced eyelet end, and scalloped edges. All of these predate the plain rectangle.

Send a photograph or a scan with something for scale. We will draw a die line from it and tell you where a modern cutter will differ, then show you the outline on the proof before cutting.

A die line as vector art plus your print artwork. If you are working from an original rather than a file, free design support will redraw both, though period typefaces may need substituting.

No. Free die and plates are included with every order, so the outline does not change the unit price. Pricing starts at $0.02 per tag with a minimum order of 100.

    Low 100-tag minimum

    Our minimum run is 100 tags — small enough for a first collection, priced so it still makes sense at wholesale volume. Need fewer? Tell us and we will say honestly whether we can help.

  • 03

    Pick the stock, string and finish

    Recycled kraft, coated card, plastic or waterproof PVC. Add foil, embossing, matte or gloss, then choose cotton, elastic or ribbon strings and eyelets to match the product.
