What Is an Eco Kraft Hang Tag?
An eco kraft hang tag is a custom printed paper tag built around a kraft-paper visual direction. The word “eco” does not by itself establish recycled content, fiber certification, recyclability or any other environmental performance; claims must follow the exact approved paper, inks, finishes, eyelet, string and supporting documents.
Key Facts for B2B Buyers
Product role
A natural-looking paper tag for brand graphics, product information, price, SKU, care copy or approved scan codes.
Critical inputs
Finished size, paper color, stiffness direction, print, finish, hole, eyelet, attachment, artwork versions and packing.
Color risk
Brown paper changes the appearance of light colors, fine gradients and small text; the production-intent sample is the reference.
Approval focus
Paper appearance, color, trim, code scanning, hole or eyelet, attachment, count, tangling and export packing.
Project Specification Directions
| Product type | Custom printed kraft paper hang tag or swing tag |
|---|---|
| Current SKU | HT-03 |
| Finished size | Defined from product scale, information area, artwork, attachment position and retail handling |
| Paper direction | Brown kraft is the current product reference; other paper colors or constructions require project confirmation |
| Printing and finish | Approved color, white ink, foil, embossing, debossing, varnish or another supported direction after sample review |
| Attachment | Drilled hole, approved eyelet, string, cord, ribbon, loop or another project-specific accessory |
| Packing | Flat, bundled or pre-attached supply planned around count, tangling, abrasion and receiving workflow |
| MOQ and timing | Confirmed by quotation after paper, print, finish, versions, assembly, packing, quantity and destination are defined |
Paper, Color and Information Planning
Brown Kraft Color Behavior
Use a physical paper reference and production-intent proof. Paper shade can influence ink appearance, contrast and batch approval.
White Ink and Metallic Effects
White ink, foil and relief effects require separate artwork layers and a sample review for coverage, registration and reverse-side appearance.
Stiffness and Attachment
Select paper stiffness around tag size, hole clearance, eyelet setting, attachment weight, finishes and bundle thickness.
Barcode and QR Readability
Provide the final code, quiet zone and intended size. Verify scanning on the exact paper, print and finish rather than on screen only.
Are Kraft Hang Tags the Right Format?
Good Candidates for Review
Apparel, denim, workwear, skincare, candles, gifts, stationery and other retail goods that benefit from a warm paper appearance and a detachable information tag.
Review Another Structure When Needed
Wet-use duties, sewn-in care information, extremely small products, duties needing a verified environmental claim without documents, or products better served by a label, booklet or different tag structure.

Print, Finish and Attachment Review
| Review area | What to define | Approval focus |
|---|---|---|
| Paper shade | Brown kraft or another approved paper direction | Color contrast, surface variation, small text and sample reference |
| Color printing | Black, spot color, CMYK or another supported method | Paper influence, proof method, registration and acceptable variation |
| White ink or foil | Separate production artwork where selected | Coverage, opacity, pressure, show-through and registration |
| Hole or eyelet | Position and construction matched to the attachment | Edge clearance, setting, visible faces and pull in intended use |
| String or loop | Approved type, length, color and assembly method | Appearance, product safety, tangling, count and packing |
| Scan code | Final barcode or QR artwork | Quiet zone, contrast, surface, finish and production-sample scan |
Material and Environmental Claim Boundaries
Kraft appearance does not prove recycled content, fiber certification, recyclability, compostability or destination acceptance. Identify the exact claim and required document before quotation. Review the sustainable hang tags guide for questions to ask, while treating the approved project documents as the only claim evidence.
Artwork, Sampling and Production Approval
- Define the tag: Confirm finished size, paper direction, print, finish, hole or eyelet, attachment and artwork versions.
- Prepare artwork: Set bleed, safe area, small text, final codes, drill position and separate layers for white ink, foil or relief.
- Review the sample: Check paper shade, color, stiffness, trim, code scanning, hole, eyelet, string and presentation on the real product.
- Approve assembly and packing: Confirm flat or pre-attached supply, count, tangling control, inner packing, carton labels and receiving method.
- Release production: Control the approved artwork, paper reference, sample standard, version list and packing specification.
Quality and Packing Checks
- Finished size, trim, corners and artwork revision.
- Paper shade, stiffness, print color, small text and finish registration.
- Barcode or QR code contrast, quiet zone and scan result where included.
- Hole position, eyelet setting, attachment type, length and assembly method.
- Count, bundle, tangling and abrasion control, inner packing and labels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be checked before approving an eco kraft hang tag sample?
Check size, paper shade, stiffness, print color, small text, finishes, final codes, hole position, eyelet, attachment, assembly, count and packing on the production-intent sample.
Does a kraft hang tag automatically contain recycled fiber?
No. Kraft describes a paper direction or appearance, not a verified recycled-content percentage. Any recycled-content statement needs evidence for the exact approved paper.
Can full-color artwork print clearly on brown kraft paper?
It may be possible, but brown paper changes color appearance and contrast. Review the exact artwork, paper and proof, and consider white ink or another paper direction when light colors are critical.
Do kraft hang tags always need white ink?
No. White ink is a design and contrast option, not a universal requirement. Its need depends on artwork, paper shade, print method and the approved visual target.
Can barcodes and QR codes be used on kraft hang tags?
They can be reviewed when the final code, quiet zone, size, contrast, paper and finish are suitable. Scan the production-intent sample under expected conditions before approval.
How should I choose the paper stiffness?
Choose stiffness from tag size, print and finish, hole or eyelet, attachment, bundle thickness and presentation. Confirm the direction with the physical sample.
Do kraft hang tags need metal eyelets?
Not always. An eyelet may reinforce the hole or support a visual direction, but it adds material and assembly. Review edge clearance, setting, pull and reverse-side appearance.
What string or attachment should I choose?
Choose the attachment from the product, tag weight, appearance, retail workflow, safety, length, color and packing method. Approve the exact component with the sample.
Can eco kraft hang tags be supplied pre-attached?
Pre-attached supply may be reviewed. Confirm the attachment method, count, tangling, abrasion, labor expectation, packing and receiving workflow before quotation.
What information is needed for an eco kraft hang tag quote?
Send size, paper direction, artwork, print and finish, hole or eyelet, attachment, final codes, quantity by version, assembly, packing, destination and document requirements.
