Apparel Merchant Sizing Labels & Paper Hang Tags
Apparel Merchant Sizing Labels & Paper Hang Tags
In the apparel industry, small labels are the first point of contact for consumers with a brand. They serve not only as carriers of size and material information but also as subtle business cards that reflect quality and professionalism. The size of hang tags, shirt/dress labels, and care labels directly affects consumer trust and repurchase rates. LIJIE offers MOQ as low as 1,000 pieces at up to 30% below industry prices, helping you secure profit from the label stage! This article focuses on size selection, material & craftsmanship, and customization advantages, breaking down how to choose the right labels and suppliers.
1. Label Sizes
Label dimensions must match the type of apparel, usage scenario, and information density. LIJIE analyzed over 100,000 cases and summarized reference sizes for common apparel categories:
① Basic Styles (T-shirts/Sweatshirts):Main label 3cm × 5cm, care label 4cm × 6cm, balancing information and lightweight design.
② Shirts/Formal Wear:Main label 2.5cm × 4.5cm (foldable), care label 3cm × 8cm (slim strip to prevent creasing).
③ Dresses/Skirts:Hem hang tag 3cm × 5cm (rounded corners to prevent scratches), design pieces can be reduced to 2.8cm × 4.8cm.
④ Sweatshirts/Outdoor Wear:Main label 3.5cm × 5.5cm (thickened for tear resistance), care label 4cm × 7cm (waterproof & washable).
⑤ Custom/High-End Apparel:Dress hang tag 4cm × 6cm (gold stamping for premium feel), shirt hang tag 3cm × 3cm (matching brand VI).
Key Reminder:All sizes should include 1–2mm “bleed allowance.”
