| Are your hang tags compostable? |
Yes, all of our paper hang tags are compostable and biodegradable. Please remove any metal or plastic accessories before composting.
| Can my hang tags be recycled? |
Yes! Our hang tags are made from paper so they are recyclable. Please remove any metal pieces like eyelets and safety pins before recycling. String and ribbons may not be recyclable.

| Do you offer different paper finishes, like silk, gloss, or uncoated? |
Yes! Our house paper stocks include silk, glossy, and uncoated options. We even have a kraft board option for a more natural look. All of our papers are recycled, eco-friendly, and FSC certified.
| How are the hang tags packaged? Are they individually wrapped or grouped? |
Our hang tags are securely packaged in bundles that are placed in sturdy boxes. The size of the bundle is dependent on the quantity of the order. If you’d like a specific amount in each bundle, just let us know!
| What is the difference between an eyelet and just a regular drilled hole? |
Eyelets are metal or plastic rings that are added to the inside of a drilled hole. These rings add protection against tearing when a string or ribbon is added to a hang tag. They reduce the risk of a tag separating from its product when pulled on. Eyelets also add a nice detail that makes hangtags feel more upscale.
We offer a wide range of hangtag metals and colors, so there is sure to be one that complements your design.
Other colors might have a limited availability so feel free to contact us if there’s a specific color you have in mind.

| What is the purpose of scoring on a hangtag? How does it look? |
Scoring allows for hang tags to be easily folded along the score line. This is perfect for adding 3D elements and creating folded hangtags that open like booklets.
Score lines create indented lines on your card. They are not very obvious until the card is folded.

| Who can I contact if my question isn’t answered on this list? |
Our customer service team is more than happy to answer any additional questions you might have. They can be reached via email at csr@greenerprinter.com or via phone at 1-800-655-5833 Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
| Can you print ANY custom shape? |
Yes! If you design it, we can create it. Designs with acute sharp angles might need to be cut with a custom die instead of digitally which can increase the cost of the tags.
| Why do custom shapes cost more? |
Unlike with standard shapes, our team needs to create a custom shaped ‘die’ outline from metal to ensure a perfect custom shape cut every time.
Since we only need to create a die-shape once, our die-tooling charge is waived for all re-orders.
If your order is under a certain amount we can opt to cut them digitally, however additional charges will still apply to this service. Please contact csr@greenerprinter.com to see how your order would be made.

| Is Custom Shape printing sustainable? |
Aside from a small amount of energy consumption to create a custom shape die, custom shape cutting is not inherently unsustainable.
A custom shaped die is really just a wood block with metal, a “cookie-cutter” of sorts.
If you want a custom shape to match your branding and plan to make re-orders, this is a perfectly viable option.

| Can I provide my own custom shape or are there preset shapes I have to choose from? |
There are no preset shapes that you have to pick from! You can choose any shape you want and we will create a custom die for you.
| Are there limits to how detailed my custom shape can be? |
Dies can be extremely detailed! However, we recommend not choosing extremely intricate designs as small and thin lines do not hold up as well as thicker or bold lines. Intricate designs are usually much weaker and may be more likely to rip or catch on products.
| Do complex custom shapes cost more than simple shapes? |
Yes. More complex dies require more material and a longer time spent creating the die. This means that they are typically more expensive.
| Will the edges of my custom shapes be smooth? |
Absolutely! Our die-cutting process allows for shapes to be precisely punched out with clean edges every time.
| What should be on a hang tag? |
Hang tags can include a range of different information about both a product and a brand. Some of the most common things to find on a hang tag include brand name, product price, product description, care instructions, bar codes, product size, warranty information, and brand story.
| What is a hang tag? |
A hang tag, also known as a swing tag or swing ticket, is a small card that is hung from a product using a string or ribbon. Hang tags provide space for branding and product information. They are easily removable since they are not a part of the product.
