How to attach a film hang tag to a product?

Hey there! As a supplier of film hang tags, I often get asked about the best ways to attach these tags to products. It might seem like a simple task at first glance, but there's actually a bit more to it than you might think. In this blog post, I'm gonna walk you through different methods and tips to help you attach film hang tags securely and effectively.

Understanding the Different Types of Film Hang Tags

Before we dive into the attachment methods, let's quickly go over the different types of film hang tags we offer. We've got the Double Sided Adhesive Sticker Tag, which has adhesive on both sides, allowing for easy sticking. Then there's the Ordinary Hang Tag, a standard hang - tag that usually comes with a hole for threading. And the Multi Color Printed Hang Tag, which is great for adding a pop of color and detailed information to your products.

Using Double - Sided Adhesive Sticker Tags

One of the easiest and most straightforward ways to attach a film hang tag to a product is by using double - sided adhesive sticker tags. These tags are super convenient because they stick right onto your product.

First off, make sure the surface of your product is clean and dry. Any dust, dirt, or grease can prevent the adhesive from sticking properly. You can use a clean cloth or a little bit of rubbing alcohol to wipe down the area where you plan to attach the tag.

Once the surface is clean, carefully peel off the backing from one side of the double - sided adhesive on the tag. Be gentle so you don't accidentally bend or tear the tag. Align the tag with the spot on your product where you want it to be, and then press it down firmly. Start from one end and work your way across, making sure there are no air bubbles trapped underneath. You can use your fingers or a small flat object like a credit card to smooth out the tag and ensure a good bond.

This method is perfect for flat or slightly curved surfaces, like the side of a box or a sleek electronic device. It gives a clean and professional look without any extra hardware getting in the way.

Attaching Ordinary Hang Tags

Ordinary hang tags, as I mentioned earlier, usually have a hole in them. There are a few different ways to attach these tags.

Using String or Twine

One classic way is to use string or twine. You can choose a string that matches the color of your tag or the overall aesthetic of your product. Cut a piece of string long enough to go through the hole in the tag and around the product. Thread the string through the hole in the hang tag, and then tie it securely around an appropriate part of the product. For example, if you're tagging a piece of clothing, you can tie it around a button or a loop. If it's a small item, like a keychain, you can loop the string through a keyring.

Make sure the knot is tight so the tag doesn't fall off. If you're not great at tying knots, there are plenty of online tutorials that can show you some secure knot - tying methods.

Using Plastic or Metal Fasteners

Another option is to use plastic or metal fasteners. These are often available in different sizes and colors. To use a plastic or metal fastener, you'll first need to insert one end through the hole in the hang tag and then through a part of the product, like a fabric loop or a pre - drilled hole. Then, you'll attach the other part of the fastener to secure it in place.

Plastic fasteners are lightweight and inexpensive, while metal fasteners are more durable and can give a more high - end look. Choose the one that best suits your product and your budget.

Multi - Color Printed Hang Tags

Multi - color printed hang tags are a great way to make your product stand out. The attachment method for these tags is similar to the ordinary hang tags, but you might want to be extra careful because the printing can be easily damaged.

If you're using string or twine, make sure it doesn't rub against the printed part of the tag. You can also use a small piece of tape to protect the edges of the printed area if you're worried about fraying.

When using plastic or metal fasteners, be gentle when inserting them through the hole to avoid scratching or smudging the print.

Tips for a Secure Attachment

• Test Before Mass Production: Before you attach hang tags to a large number of products, do a test run on a few samples. This way, you can make sure the attachment method works well and that the tags stay in place.
• Consider the Product's Environment: If your product will be exposed to moisture, heat, or rough handling, choose an attachment method that can withstand these conditions. For example, if it's a product that will be used outdoors, a more durable fastener might be a better choice than just a piece of string.
• Keep it Neat: A well - attached hang tag looks more professional. Make sure the tag is straight and that any strings or fasteners are neatly arranged.

Conclusion

Attaching film hang tags to products doesn't have to be a hassle. Whether you're using double - sided adhesive sticker tags, ordinary hang tags, or multi - color printed hang tags, there are plenty of methods to choose from. By following these tips and choosing the right attachment method for your product, you can ensure that your hang tags stay in place and look great.
