Hang Tags & Header Cards printing, Kolkata

What this item is

• Hang tags are printed board tags attached to a product by string, loop lock, plastic tack or metal eyelet.
• Header cards are folded or single-leaf boards stapled or glued over a polybag, a pair of gloves or a bundled set, and are punched for a euro hook or a round hang hole.
• Both carry the same working load: brand, product name, size, standard marks, country of origin, barcode and the short benefit copy that a buyer reads on the shelf.

Typical applications

• Welding sleeves, aprons and other PPE sold on a euro-hook peg
