Hangtag Printing and Production Process

Hang tag Printing and Production Process

Have you ever wondered how those exquisite hangtags are made?

1. Design and Prepress Preparation

First, designers use layout software to meticulously arrange the hangtag design files. This step requires not only precision in text, patterns, and colors but also ensuring a unified and harmonious overall design to attract consumers' attention. Once the design is finalized, technicians create printing plates based on the carefully prepared print file.

2. Material Selection

The choice of material is equally crucial. To meet different brand needs and consumer aesthetic preferences, hangtags can be made from a variety of paper types. The most common options include:

- White card paper: Known for its excellent stiffness and print adaptability, making it a popular choice.

- Coated paper: Appreciated for its high gloss and superior color reproduction, often used for premium product hangtags.

- Specialty paper: Features unique textures or tactile effects, adding a distinctive touch to the hangtag design.

3. Printing and Finishing

After printing, additional finishing processes enhance the durability and visual appeal of the hangtags. Some common finishing techniques include:

- Lamination (Glossy or Matte): Glossy lamination gives a bright, reflective finish, while matte lamination offers a subtle and sophisticated look. Both options improve wear resistance.

- Hot Stamping: Adds a luxurious metallic shine to certain parts of the hangtag, creating a premium feel.

- Embossing/Debossing: Creates raised or recessed patterns on the surface, enhancing the tactile experience.

- UV Coating: Produces a glossy effect on specific areas, making the design stand out.

Finally, after the cutting process, the refined and stylish hangtags are ready for use.
