Frequently Asked Questions

The outlines that make old tags recognizable. Swallow-tail notches, scalloped edges, arched heads and the pinched waist of a luggage label are all die cut shapes, and none of them can be trimmed on a straight cut.

The shape yes, and we can set a metal eyelet into it. On original labels the reinforcement was a glued paper washer. A modern eyelet in an aged finish is the closest practical equivalent.

Deep scallops and notches hold well. Very fine repeating detail along an edge is where card starts to tear, especially on the uncoated stocks that suit a retro look. Send your die line and we will flag anything fragile.

Yes, and the cut edge is part of the appeal, since it looks fibrous rather than sealed. That is the opposite of what you want on a modern coated tag, and it is one reason kraft suits this style so well.
