How ordering works

From Artwork to Delivery in Four Steps

  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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Small, often around 1 x 2 inches, because they were written on by hand rather than printed. Reproducing that scale is a large part of why a retro tag reads as period rather than as a modern tag in old colors.

A printed border set in from the edge, a rule under the heading, serif or slab type, and a reinforced hole at one end. Rounded corners soften it further and were common on older stock tickets.

Uncoated kraft or a textured board. Both take ink softly, the way older paper did, and neither has the shine that immediately reads as modern.

Yes, on the reverse or in a clean panel at one end. A barcode needs contrast and clear space, not a modern typeface, so it coexists with a period layout without spoiling the front.

    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.

    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.
