Kraft Hang Tags

Kraft Hang Tags With a Natural, Honest Look

Kraft paper has a warmth and honesty that no other material matches, and kraft hang tags bring that feel to your products. Bee Printers prints custom hang tags for apparel and gifts on kraft, foil, and premium stocks, with multiple sizes, shapes, and hole punch options. The natural brown tone of kraft suits handmade, eco-conscious, and artisan brands, and it gives every tag a grounded, tactile quality.

A kraft tag tells a customer something about the product before they even read it. It suggests natural materials, careful making, and a brand that values simplicity. This is why kraft tags are popular with clothing brands, candle makers, soap producers, bakers, and craft sellers. They fit a wide range of products, from a shirt on a rail to a jar of honey on a market stall.

The Character of Kraft Paper

Kraft paper is made from unbleached wood fibres, which gives it its distinctive brown colour and visible fibre texture. This natural appearance is part of its appeal: it looks and feels different from white card, and it carries a sense of craft and authenticity. The fibres are strong, so kraft tags are durable and resist tearing, even when they are handled often or tied to a heavy product.

Printing on kraft works best with designs that respect the material. Dark inks, such as black, deep brown, and forest green, print clearly and look rich against the brown background. White ink can be used for a striking contrast, and a single-colour design often looks more elegant on kraft than a full-colour print. Simple line art, a bold logo, and clear text all suit the material well.

Kraft tags also take well to finishing touches. A hole punch with a reinforced eyelet adds strength and a neat detail, while a natural cotton or jute string completes the look. The combination of kraft, a simple print, and a natural string is a classic presentation that suits almost any handmade or natural product.

Kraft, Foil, and Premium Stocks

While natural kraft is the most popular choice, our kraft hang tags are also available on foil and premium stocks. A foil finish adds a metallic accent to a kraft tag, such as a gold or silver logo, which gives a premium touch without losing the natural feel. This combination of kraft and foil is popular for gift tags, wedding favours, and premium food products.

Premium stocks include thicker kraft boards and textured papers that add weight and a tactile quality to the tag. A thicker tag feels more substantial in the hand and holds its shape better on a heavy product, while a textured stock adds a subtle pattern that catches the light. These options let you match the tag to the quality of the product it hangs from.

Whatever stock you choose, the printing stays sharp and the colours stay true. Full-colour printing is available, but many brands choose a simple one- or two-colour design on kraft, because it looks cleaner and suits the material. Our team can advise on the best ink and design approach for your chosen stock.

Sizes, Shapes, and Hole Punch Options

Kraft hang tags are available in multiple sizes, from small tags for jewellery and sample items to larger tags for clothing and gift sets. A small tag suits a product where the tag should be discreet, while a larger tag gives room for a logo, a product name, and care details. Custom sizes are available for brands that want a specific proportion.

Shapes include classic rectangles, circles, and custom die-cut outlines. A rectangle is the most versatile shape, with room for a logo at the top and text below. A circle is friendly and modern, and it suits brands with a playful or minimal style. A custom shape, such as a tag that follows a logo outline, adds a distinctive touch that customers remember.

Hole punch options include a standard round hole, a reinforced eyelet, and a slot. A standard hole suits most string and ribbon, an eyelet adds strength and a finished detail for heavier tags, and a slot suits a folded tag or a tag that needs to fit over a hanger. The hole is positioned so the tag hangs straight and stays readable.

Apparel, Gifts, and Retail Uses

Kraft hang tags are widely used on apparel, where they carry a brand logo, a size, a price, and care instructions. A kraft tag on a shirt, a dress, or a knitwear item gives the garment a boutique feel, and it tells the customer that the brand cares about presentation. The tag can also carry a website address or a social media handle, so customers can find the brand again.

Gift businesses use kraft tags on gift sets, hampers, and wrapped presents, where the natural look of the tag matches the gift. Food producers use them on jars, boxes, and bags of baked goods, confectionery, and preserves. Candle and soap makers use them on their products, where a kraft tag with a simple design suits the natural feel of the product.

Retailers use kraft tags across a whole range to create a consistent, natural presentation. A rail of clothing or a shelf of products with matching kraft tags looks organised and considered, and it helps customers recognise the brand. The tags are affordable in bulk, so they are practical for high-volume retail as well as small-batch makers.

See the wider hang tags collection to compare kraft tags with round tags, recycled paper tags, and printed card tags, and choose the material and style that best suits your products.

Designing for Kraft

Good kraft tag design starts with simplicity. Keep the front focused on one idea, such as your logo or your brand name, and let the natural colour of the paper do the rest. Use dark inks for clear, readable text, and avoid fine detail that may be lost against the fibre texture. A bold, simple design looks better on kraft than a complex one.

Consider the back of the tag as well. It can carry practical information, such as size, materials, washing instructions, or a price, without cluttering the front. A short message or a brand story on the back adds a personal touch that customers appreciate. The two-sided use turns a small tag into a useful piece of communication.
