Hang Tag Sizes: Standard, Mini, and Custom Compared
Size is one of the first questions we ask on every quote, and it’s more consequential than it looks. A tag sized for a folded sweater looks absurd on a stud earring, and a tiny mini tag disappears on a large tote bag or blanket.
Here’s how our three most common size classes map to real products.
Standard size (2 in × 3.5 in)
This is our default for apparel, bags, and most retail goods. It’s large enough to carry a logo, a size or SKU line, and a short brand statement on the reverse, without overwhelming a folded garment or accessory.
Mini size (0.75 in × 1.5 in)
Built for jewelry and other small-format accessories — earrings, bracelets, small leather goods. At roughly a third the footprint of a standard tag, it sits naturally beside the product instead of hiding it.
| Product type | Recommended size | Typical finish |
|---|---|---|
| Sweaters, jackets, bags | Standard (2 in × 3.5 in) | Kraft or string & grommet |
| Earrings, necklaces | Mini (0.75 in × 1.5 in) | Mini Jewelry |
| Candles, home goods | Standard or custom shape | Embossed or die-cut |
| Wedding favors | Custom, often mini | Foil-stamped or kraft |
| Bottles, hampers | Standard, pre-strung | String & grommet |
Custom sizes and shapes
Beyond standard and mini, we cut fully custom dimensions and silhouettes for brands whose product or packaging calls for something specific — a long, narrow tag for a wine bottle neck, or a die-cut shape that mirrors a logo outline.
Choosing for your order
When in doubt, request two mockups at two sizes — it costs nothing extra during the design phase, and seeing the tag next to an actual product photo makes the decision obvious in a way a spec sheet doesn’t.
