Swing Tag Material Options

Silk Swing Tags offer a sleek, stylish look to your tags. Available in a range of stock weights from 150gsm – 400gsm.

Silk paper is our most popular of the swing tag material options, and is especially useful for retailers. It has a built-in slight lamination, giving it an ever-so-slight sheen, which conveys professionalism and attention to detail. As it is the most popular swing label material, our standard tags come printed on silk paper at 200gsm (the paper weight) as default, however we provide a range of weights including 350gsm (the same thickness as standard business cards).

Brown Kraft Swing Tags allow you to create an eco-friendly and rustic product tag. Available in weights from 170gsm – 280gsm.

Kraft paper is probably the most environmentally friendly paper in stock. It is fully recycled and recyclable, and doesn’t undergo a conventional whitening process. As such, it uses less energy to produce than other paper stocks. Consequently, Kraft paper isn’t bright white in tone, it has a more natural, brown hue and is slightly thinner than standard silk stock. This look is incredibly popular with clothing retailers and gift shops as it adds an artisanal quality to the eco-friendly swing tag.

Uncoated Swing Tags promote a natural feel for your swing tickets. Available in weights from 150gsm – 350gsm.

Unlike silk or gloss stocks, uncoated paper has no surface coating, giving it a plain, natural finish. It is a popular choice at 350gsm, the same weight often used for standard business cards, as it gives swing tags a sturdier and more durable feel. The main advantages of uncoated paper are that it is easy to write on, widely recyclable, and typically less processed than coated alternatives, making it a practical choice for eco-conscious swing tag printing.

Recycled Swing Tags are eco-friendly and cost effective. Available in weights from 160gsm – 250gsm.

Recycled paper is made from old paper that is being reused and recycled. In this aspect, it’s very eco-friendly. The main difference to Kraft paper is that recycled paper will be treated and whitened, to give you that conventional paper whiteness. This is a good middle ground option if you’re looking to be eco-friendly but not compromise on paper whiteness.

Coloured Card Swing Tags allow you to create an eye-catching swing ticket onto a pre-coloured base. Available in either 160gsm or 240gsm.

Colours available are: Ice White, Sky Blue, Tangerine, Canary, Green, Pink, Cream, Intensive Blue, Intensive Red, Intensive Yellow and Billiard Green. You can easily write on this stock – making it a good choice for budget friendly swing tags that you intend to write by hand: perfect for wedding favours, party bags and artisan crafts with a personal touch.

Waterproof Swing Tags are a long-lasting, durable swing tag. Perfect for use outdoors or in/around water! Available in the following paper weights: 160gsm, 195gsm, 260gsm and 360gsm.

This paper stock is ideal for outdoor swing tags for plants / in garden centres or for any product displayed outside. Rendering a tag weather-proof is sensible for legibility and durability. Similarly, you can use waterproof paper for any product you think is likely to get wet at home – for example, cosmetics, bathware or cooking tools.
