The short answer: custom hang tags on 280 gsm card stock cost $27 for 50 ($0.54 each), $46 for 100 ($0.46 each) and $74 for 250 ($0.296 each). If you are budgeting for about 200 hang tags, expect to pay between $46 and $74, or between $0.296 and $0.46 per piece, with no setup fee. The hang tag configurator gives the exact price at any quantity.

What Changes the Price of a Hang Tag
- Quantity. This is the biggest factor. Going from 50 to 250 cuts the price per tag from $0.54 to $0.296.
- Printing on the back. You can mirror the front, leave the back blank for a hand-written price, or upload a separate back design, and the configurator prices your choice.
- Cord. Tags can arrive flat and pre-punched, or with a cord. If you attach cords yourself or use a tagging gun, flat tags may be all you need.
Card stock is the other thing to compare when you look at quotes. Thin card creases in transit and feels cheap in the hand; ours is a thick 280 gsm card. A quote that does not name the card weight is hard to compare with one that does.
How to Budget for a First Run
Work out the cost per garment, not the order total. At $0.296 a tag, 250 tags add less than a dollar to each piece you sell. Ordering 100 now and 100 again later usually costs more than one order of 250, because the price per tag falls with each order's quantity, so order what you will realistically sell through if your design is settled.
If your design may still change, a smaller run is the safer choice, and an approved design reorders in one click. Whether a tag is worth it at all depends on what you sell: the hang tag guide covers that, along with sizes and what to put on the back. Pricing woven labels and care labels at the same time?
