Custom Hang Tag Strings for Clothing and Accessories

Complete your product presentation with custom hang tag strings designed to connect tags with clothing, bags, shoes, and textile accessories. A suitable string can enhance the appearance of your hang tag while providing a practical way to attach product information, branding, pricing, and promotional messages.

We offer hang tag strings in different materials, colors, lengths, constructions, and supply formats. From simple pre-cut loops to strings combined with locking seals, each option can be developed around your hang tag design, attachment method, and production requirements.

Material Options for Different Brand Styles

Depending on the required appearance and application, available materials may include:

• Cotton cord: Offers a soft textile feel and is suitable for casual, natural, and handmade-style brands.

• Polyester cord: Provides a wide range of colors and braided constructions for general retail applications.

• Nylon cord: Suitable for designs requiring a smooth appearance and specific handling characteristics.

• Jute cord: Features a visible natural-fiber texture and pairs well with kraft paper and recycled-style hang tags.

• Waxed cord: Has a coated surface and is often used for denim, vintage, and rustic packaging styles.

• Paper string: Provides a paper-based appearance for selected tag designs.

• Ribbon or fabric tape: Offers a flat attachment format and can be coordinated with brand colors.

• Elastic cord: Provides stretch for suitable looping applications.

Material names should be confirmed according to the actual fiber or construction. For example, a ribbon may be made from polyester, nylon, cotton, or another textile material, while waxed cord describes a surface treatment rather than a specific fiber.

Different String Constructions

Hang tag strings can be supplied in several constructions:

• Twisted cords: Create a visible spiral texture and can combine multiple colors.

• Braided cords: Offer a structured appearance with adjustable thickness and color combinations.

• Round cords: Suitable for standard tag holes and locking fasteners.

• Flat ribbons: Provide a wider surface for decorative branding.

• Pre-cut strings: Supplied in specified lengths for manual attachment.

• Looped strings: Form a closed loop for quick attachment to suitable products.

• Adjustable loops: Allow the loop length to be changed where the construction permits.

• Strings with locking seals: Combine the cord with a plastic or metal locking component.

If the order includes a lock, seal, bead, or fastener, the material and function of each component should be specified separately.

Custom Lengths, Thicknesses, and Colors

Customize the string length according to the tag size, hole position, garment type, and preferred hanging appearance. Length should be clearly defined as either:

• Total unfolded string length.

• Finished loop length.

• Distance from the attachment point to the hang tag.

• Length including the lock or seal.

Cord diameter, flat ribbon width, knot position, and loop size can also be specified. Accurate measurements help ensure that the string is easy to attach without appearing too loose or placing unnecessary pressure on the tag hole.

Colors can be matched to your brand or coordinated with the paper, fabric, and printing of the hang tag. Multicolor twisted or braided cords can create an additional decorative effect. Color matching should be confirmed with a physical sample where the appearance is important.

Attachment and Fastener Options

Hang tag strings can be used with:

• Paper hang tags.

• Plastic hang tags.

• Fabric and cloth hang tags.

• Leather tags and patches.

• Bags, hats, shoes, and textile accessories.

• Hang tag seals or locking beads.

• Ribbons, eyelets, and small metal rings.

The string should match the hole diameter and strength of the tag. A narrow cord may pass easily through a small hole, while a thicker cord may require a larger hole or reinforced eyelet.

For tags with a locking seal, the cord, seal, and tag hole should be tested as one complete system. A cord itself does not provide tamper evidence or security unless it is combined with a suitable locking construction designed for that purpose.

Pre-Cut and Pre-Assembled Options

Choose the supply format that suits your production process:

• Loose cord supplied by length.

• Pre-cut individual strings.

• Pre-formed loops.

• Knotted loops.

• Strings with attached seals.

• Complete hang tag sets with the string already installed.

Pre-assembled strings can help reduce manual labor during garment packing, while loose or pre-cut strings may offer greater flexibility for different tag designs. The preferred arrangement should be confirmed before production.

Branding and Decorative Possibilities

Although most hang tag strings are used as attachment accessories, they can also contribute to the overall brand presentation. Options may include:

• Brand-color cords.

• Contrasting or matching strings.

• Printed ribbons where the width allows.

• Metallic-effect decorative cords.

• Waxed or textured finishes.

• Coordinated seals and beads.

A decorative cord should still be compatible with the weight and structure of the hang tag. Appearance and attachment performance should be reviewed together.

Quality and Application Review

Before bulk production, test the selected string with the actual hang tag and intended product. Relevant checks can include:

• Cord or ribbon length and diameter.

• Color consistency.

• Knot or loop security.

• Compatibility with the tag hole.

• Ease of manual attachment.

• Fastener closing and release, where applicable.

• Resistance to fraying or stretching during normal handling.

• Appearance after storage and shipment.

For children’s products or other regulated applications, small-part and attachment requirements should be reviewed separately according to the destination market.

Send us your preferred material, length, diameter or width, color, tag type, hole size, attachment method, quantity, and required supply format. If a lock, seal, bead, or fastener is needed, include its material and style so the complete assembly can be quoted accurately.

Custom hang tag strings are packed according to their material, length, construction, attachment format, and order quantity. Packing is arranged to help prevent tangling, contamination, color mixing, and deformation during storage and shipment.

Packaging options can include:

• Counted inner packs: Pre-cut strings grouped in agreed quantities for easy counting.

• Separate color packing: Different colors, lengths, and specifications packed separately.

• Coiled or bundled packing: Suitable for loose cords or longer continuous lengths.

• Loop protection: Pre-formed loops arranged to reduce tangling and deformation.

• Separate component packing: Strings, seals, beads, and fasteners supplied separately where required.

• Pre-assembled packing: Complete string-and-seal sets packed according to the approved arrangement.

• Carton identification: Labels showing item references, colors, lengths, quantities, and batch details.

The order confirmation should clearly state whether the quantity refers to individual strings, finished loops, complete sets, or total length.

Final packing quantities, carton dimensions, net weight, and gross weight are confirmed after the product and packing specifications are approved.

Store hang tag strings in a clean, dry environment away from moisture, direct sunlight, dust, sharp objects, and excessive pressure. Textile cords should be protected from conditions that may cause discoloration, mildew, or deformation.
