The hang tag of your product is often the first thing a customer will look for when they see your product. These well-designed hang tag examples can help you get ideas on how to attract customers' attention.

You may think hang tags aren't instrumental, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The hang tag of your product is often the first thing a customer will look for in the store. Of course, it's your beautiful product that will catch their eye, but if the tag they read doesn't live up to the expectation that the product has set, they might just put it down and move on. Hang tags are not just a barcode, price and brand name, they are so much more. It's what gives your product identity, personality, and life. The tag doesn't have to be mind-blowing to be effective, but it must be functional and reflect your brand. When done right, a hang tag can elevate the product and be one of the decisive elements.

Here are a few hang tag examples of inspiring hang tags that would catch customers' eye and keep their attention.

2. Hang tags for weddings

These wine bottles hang tags were used at a forest-themed wedding. The forest theme is reflected not only in the creative hang tags design but in the chosen paper as well.

The hangtags in this situation play a very important role in the brand's identity. If this box only had the label with the info on it that would be fine, they would know who took their pictures. But, a simple touch of string and a friendly "enjoy" changes everything. This makes it seem like a gift they're receiving and even if it only makes them smile once, they won't forget it and definitely won't forget the brand.
