Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, particularly for labels and stock tickets rather than swing tags. Square formats were common on crates, tins and filing labels, so the shape itself carries a period association.

2 x 2 inches reads as a label, and 1.5 x 1.5 inches as a small ticket. Keep a visible border inside the edge, because the framed square is a large part of what makes the shape read as old.

Centered serif or slab type stacked in two or three lines, often with a rule between them. Square formats suit stacked lockups better than the single-line layouts a rectangle invites.

Sharp corners read as industrial and mid-century. Rounded corners read as softer and older still, closer to a Victorian ticket. Both are period-correct, so it depends which era you are aiming at.

    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.
