The product I’m featuring is a Booklet Hang Tag we recently produced. The customer supplied the printed sheets, which we cut, folded, collated and saddle stitched. The last step was attaching an elastic loop.

Hang Tags are a popular way to increase brand recognition, company presence, and product promotion. Studies have shown that Product Hang Tags attract attention and boost sales in a retail environment. Booklet Hang Tags are an even more effective way to communicate your brand and product messaging through your packaging.

Our customized machinery makes it possible for us to produce a wide range of Hang Tags:

• Swing tags are simple 2pg product tags.
• Multi-tags contain multiple individual tags grouped on the same loop.
• A 4pg tag is a simple, folded tag that provides more space to display more information.
• Eyelets provide extra durability by adding a metal eyelet to the string hole.
• A multi-fold tag unfolds to tell a brand’s story or provide product information.

Booklet hang tags make their product stand out on the shelves, tell a brand story or provide added-value information (e.g., instructions, recipes). Give us a call to discuss how you can give your customers a new way to interact with your brand.

Decorative Etched Plates

Etched metal plates aren’t just for name tags and signs. We add them to rigid boxes and case wrapped books for that final touch. Etched plates are just one of the many embellishments we source to help customers create distinguished rigid boxes and case wrapped books.

As I mention in the video, over the years we’ve dealt with three different suppliers of metal plates. All three suppliers are dependable, produce consistently high quality and deliver on time! The application of a printed metal plate to a box or book cover really does elevate the perceived value and appearance of the product.

The next time a rigid box or hardcover book job comes across your desk, please give us a call!

Wire Hang Tags – Specialties Graphic Finishers

We have ANOTHER new machine! We’ve been busy responding to market demand for a wider range of hang tag sizes and materials. This new tag wiring machine is fully automatic and applies wire, instead of string or thread, to hang tags.

Applying wire is a great, durable option for industrial applications. The machine uses 40lb spools of wire, thread the wire through the tag hole and then cuts the wire to the specified length. The two ends are left loose to be later tied around an end product.

We work with American and Canadian printers to produce unusual sizes of hang tags and use unusual hang tag materials. Our extensive line of tag stringing and tag wiring machines gives us the capacity to do large runs.

Simply put: We have a massive tag stringing capacity.

We offer three options for hang tag hole reinforcement: Add paper patches to the eyelet hole; add metal eyelets; or apply clear plastic mylar to reinforce the hole.

Specialties Graphic Finishers

Tag Stringing is a product we do regularly, producing millions each year. We do it automatically using machinery that punches a hole, feeds the string through the hole, and then ties a knot. Tag Stringing produces a tag that has a closed ended loop that can be hooked over or stretched around a product (e.g. bottles, toys, etc.).

The image above shows traditional Hang Tags with a tied knot.

The two images above show the same Hang Tag with traditional and loose ends.

The image above shows how we loop the string through the Hang Tag, so the string stays attached while leaving the ends loose.

The application for Hang Tags is growing, but for some items, like a carton handle or clothing label, how do you attach a closed loop? That’s when a client needs what we call Loose Hang Tags or Tag Looping. This process leaves the two ends untied, ready for the end user to tie the tag around an item. This is a new service we offer, and we can do it automatically!

If your client needs a traditional Hang Tag or a Loose Hang Tag, make us your first call!
