Hang Tag

A hang tag is a label attached to clothing, footwear, headwear, bags, and other merchandise, typically made of paper, plastic, or metal, suspended from the product by string, plastic staple, or nylon thread. In foreign trade, hang tags are not only brand identifiers and price carriers but also a critical part of product compliance, often required to display information such as composition, country of origin, care instructions, size, and barcode. Use cases include: exported apparel must have hang tags made according to importing country requirements (e.g., US FTC, EU textile regulations); customers often specify hang tag design, material, printed content, and attachment position. Precautions: hang tag content must match the actual product to avoid misleading; mandatory requirements for country of origin and care labeling in the importing country must be confirmed; hang tag costs are usually borne by the seller but can be negotiated. Unlike the 'main label' (sewn at the neckline) and the 'wash care label' (sewn at the side seam), a hang tag is suspended and detachable, mainly used for retail display and brand promotion.
