Kraft Hang Tag

The Kraft Hang Tag is the workhorse of our lineup — an uncoated, natural kraft cardstock tag that reads as honest, sustainable, and considered the moment a customer picks it up. Where a glossy printed tag can feel mass-produced, kraft stock has texture and warmth built in. It photographs beautifully on a flat-lay, it takes a single-color print with a lot of confidence, and it costs less than our foil or embossed styles, which makes it the natural default for brands that want their packaging to feel intentional without adding much per-unit cost.

We print the Kraft Hang Tag with offset printing in one or two spot colors — usually black, a deep espresso brown, or a brand color that reads clean against the natural kraft background. Because the stock is uncoated, ink sits into the fiber rather than sitting glossy on top, which gives type and line-art logos a soft, slightly rustic edge that coated stock can’t replicate. It is a favorite for apparel brands building an eco-conscious or heritage-brand identity, for boutiques that want their private-label goods to feel handmade, and for food and beverage packaging where a kraft tag pairs naturally with kraft bags, twine, and unbleached materials.

Order scenarios for this style run the full range of our business. A denim or workwear brand might order 2,000 for a single seasonal drop, punched with a single hole and strung with jute twine at packing. A candle maker might order 5,000 as a running SKU they reorder quarterly, in which case we keep your die, artwork, and stock spec on file so every reorder matches the last exactly. A wedding stationer might order 300 personalized kraft tags for favors, each printed with a guest’s name via variable data. Because the MOQ starts at 500 units, this is also the easiest style for a first-time bulk buyer to test the process before committing to a larger, more decorated run.

Durability is straightforward: 14pt kraft cardstock holds a crisp fold and a clean die-cut edge, resists creasing in transit when packed correctly, and the offset ink is fully cured and won’t smudge or transfer once dry. It is not a laminated or coated stock, so it isn’t built for wet environments — if your product needs a tag that survives moisture, look at our string & grommet option instead, which we can produce on a coated stock on request. For everyday retail hang-tag duty, though, kraft is durable, inexpensive to ship in bulk because of its low weight, and it never looks like an afterthought.

If you’re weighing kraft against our other styles, the deciding question is usually budget versus finish: kraft gets you a genuinely premium-looking tag at the lowest price point in our lineup, while foil-stamped or embossed tags push the tactile experience further for brands that can absorb a slightly higher unit cost. Many of our customers order both — kraft for a core, everyday line and a foil-stamped tag reserved for a flagship or limited release.
