Educate your customers

Whether you call them swing tags or hang tags or swing tickets they do the same job, carrying your certifications, traceability and brand story where the customer sees them first. 

One key function of swing tickets is to provide your customers with all the information they need about your brand and product. Whether it’s shouting about certifications, providing traceability or telling your brand story, swing tickets deliver.

A swing ticket for every sector

Every type of material

We supply sustainable swing tags in recycled, certified and lower-impact materials, from FSC-certified and recycled papers to Notpla seaweed board and Cupcycled stock made from used UK paper cups. Recycled swing tags and organic cotton options are certified to GRS and FSC, so a brand can evidence the claim in its own reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between swing tags and hang tags?

They’re the same product. Swing tag is the common term in the UK, while hang tag is more common in the US. Both describe the branded ticket attached to a garment or product, usually by string, cord or pin. 

What is a swing tag?

A swing tag is a branded ticket attached to a product, carrying information such as price, size, materials, care and brand story. It’s also called a hang tag or a swing ticket. 

What’s the minimum order quantity and lead time?

Our minimum order quantity is typically 1,000 pieces for most swing tag materials, with lead times usually running from two to four weeks. 

Can you supply swing tags for ongoing production runs?

 Yes. We hold your approved swing tag details and stock, so we can ship to your vendors on repeat order, with reordering handled for you. 

What’s the difference between embossed and debossed?

Embossing creates a raised impression, whereas debossing makes an indented impression.

What materials other than wood do you offer for your papers?

We predominantly use vegetable and soy-based inks rather than chemical-based inks. This may vary, so always discuss with your point of contact.
