“Hang tags printing” refers to hang tag printing, which is usually used for clothing, accessories, bags and other commodities to mark brand information, materials, prices, washing instructions and other contents. The following is a detailed introduction to the materials, processes, processes, design points and other aspects of hang tag printing:

1. Common materials for hang tag printing

Paper
Coated paper: smooth surface, high color reproduction, suitable for printing high-quality pictures and texts, common in mid-to-high-end clothing hang tags.
Kraft paper: rough texture, environmentally friendly and natural, suitable for casual and retro style brands, can be matched with hot stamping, embossing and other processes.
Special paper: such as pearlescent paper, textured paper, etc., with unique gloss or texture, can enhance the grade of the hang tag, often used in luxury goods or designer brands.
Plastic
PVC/PP material: waterproof, wear-resistant, can be made into transparent or colored effects, suitable for sportswear, outdoor products and other scenes that require durability.
Other materials
Fabric: such as silk, cotton, etc., soft and skin-friendly, echoing the material of clothing, mostly used in high-end custom clothing.
Wood/metal: unique texture, strong decorativeness, common in high-end brands or gift packaging tags, but the cost is high.

2. Main processes of tag printing

Basic printing process
Four-color printing (CMYK): full color effect is achieved by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks, suitable for complex patterns and gradient colors.
Special color printing: using specific inks (such as Pantone colors), with high color saturation, suitable for brand LOGO and other elements that require precise color matching.
Special processing technology
Hot stamping/hot silver: metal foil is stamped on the tag at high temperature to form a shiny gold or silver pattern to enhance the sense of luxury.
Concave and convex embossing: three-dimensional patterns (such as brand LOGO, patterns) are pressed out using molds to enhance tactile and visual effects.
UV printing: a layer of UV varnish is covered partially or entirely to form a bright or matte contrast effect and increase wear resistance.
Die-cutting: Cut the hangtag into special shapes (such as circle, heart, brand LOGO shape), breaking through the conventional rectangular design and enhancing uniqueness.
Punching and threading: Punch holes on the hangtag and thread cotton thread, nylon rope or metal chain to facilitate hanging on the product.
