Custom Printed Hang Tags & Header Cards for Retail Products

Hang tags and header cards are more than price labels—they are the first touchpoint between your brand and the customer. We manufacture custom hang tags and header cards for apparel, shoes, accessories, home goods, electronics, and general retail packaging.

From small pilot batches to mass production, we support a full range of retail applications.

Header cards are commonly used for blister packaging or peg-hook displays, with reinforced hang holes and duplex laminated structures for added rigidity.
