Gift Tags for Businesses

Small businesses can use gift tags as quiet branding. A tag with your logo and a short thank you note turns an order into a gift. Use matching tags for seasonal collections, add a discount code for the next purchase or print care instructions on the back. For packaging, pair tags with stickers and labels in the same style.

How to Make and Attach Tags

1. Choose a template and type the names and message.
2. Download the PDF and print on card stock between 200 and 300 gsm.
3. Cut along the edge, using a ruler and a craft knife for straight lines.
4. Punch a hole near the top, where the string will pass.
5. Thread a ribbon, twine or elastic through the hole and tie it to the gift.

Sizes and Print Layout

Most gift tags are between 2 and 3 inches wide. You can print several on one page by placing them side by side in the print dialog or by asking a print shop to fit more on a sheet. A hole punch, scissors and a steady hand are all you need at home. For larger batches, a paper trimmer saves a lot of time.

More Ideas for Your Gifts

Pair tags with birthday cards, invitations or gift certificates for a matching set. See more in cards and invitations.

Matching Tags to Wrapping Paper

A tag looks best when it picks up one color from the wrapping. Choose kraft paper wrapping with a white tag and black text for a natural look, or bright paper with a tag in a matching shade for a lively one. Keep patterns simple on one side, so the handwriting or printed message is easy to read.

Tags for Seasonal and Business Gifts

Seasonal tags can be printed in sets, one design for every present under the tree, in the basket or on the dessert table. Businesses can attach branded tags to every order in the busy weeks, with a thank you line and a discount code for next time. Print a few extra and keep them flat in a folder, ready to use at short notice.
