Spot UV & 3D Raised Gloss Tags
Add eye-catching contrast by applying clear, high-gloss Spot UV varnish over selected design elements. For maximum impact, choose 3D Raised Spot UV or embossing/debossing to create a striking 3D dimensional feel on premium matt card stocks.
Luxury Ultra-Thick (Duplex & Triplex) Tags
built for prestigious luxury brands. Our multi-layered swing tags combine two or three sheets of heavy card (up to 800gsm) to create an unbending, rigid feel. Choose Triplex tags to introduce a vibrant coloured core edge (sandwich board style) in red, black, blue, or custom shades.

Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Swing Tags UK
Modern shoppers care deeply about eco-conscious branding. At Printways.co.uk, we provide eco responsible swing tag printing without compromising on luxury or durability. All of our paper stocks are sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forests or made from 100% post-consumer recycled waste.
Our green making process uses vegetable and soy-based inks, water-based coatings, and plastic-free natural jute or organic cotton threading cords. By choosing our unlaminated recycled kraft tags or compostable pulp boards, your brand demonstrates a genuine commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Artwork Preparation & Dieline Guidelines
To guarantee flawless printing, vibrant colour fidelity, and exact registration during die-cutting and drilling, please prepare your artwork files according to commercial print standards:
- Colour Mode & Resolution: Supply files in CMYK colour mode at 300 DPI minimum resolution. Convert all RGB images and Pantone spots unless ordering specific PMS matching.
- Bleed & Safe Zone: Include a 3mm outer bleed around all edges and maintain a 3mm safe inner margin away from trimmed edges and drilled hole locations.
- Dieline & Hole Positioning: Indicate drill hole positions (standard 3mm-5mm) and custom cut paths on a separate vector layer labeled "Dieline" set to Spot Colour Overprint.
- Foil & Spot UV Layering: Supply foil stamping or Spot UV masks as 100% K (Black) vector shapes on a separate artwork layer aligned perfectly to the base print artwork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Swing Tags
Find clear answers to common questions about sizes, materials, turnaround times, and stringing accessories.
1. What standard sizes are available for custom swing tags?
We print a wide variety of popular standard dimensions including 85x55mm (business card format), 90x50mm, 50x50mm square, 55x55mm square, 148x105mm (A6 format), and custom sizes cut to your exact millimetre needs.
2. Do swing tags come with string or cord attached?
You can choose un-strung drilled tags (with 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm holes), order stringing cords supplied loose in your bundle, or select our professional hand-stringing service where tags arrive fully threaded with natural jute twine, elastic, or cotton cord.
3. What card weight (GSM) should I choose for garment tags?
For standard retail clothing tags, 350gsm or 400gsm silk/matt board provides excellent stiffness and durability. For high-end luxury fashion, outerwear, or formalwear, we recommend 540gsm duplex or 800gsm triplex heavy cardboard.
4. Can I order custom die-cut shapes or arch swing tags?
Yes! We offer a wide selection of stock die-cut shapes (Circles, Ovals, Arches, Starbursts, Luggage tags) as well as bespoke vector dieline cutting to mirror your exact brand logo or custom shape.
5. What is the difference between metallic eyelets and standard drill holes?
Standard drill holes are clean, unreinforced circles punched directly through the paper card. Metallic eyelets fit a brass, silver, bronze, or black metal ring inside the hole, reinforcing it against tearing while adding an elegant decorative aesthetic.
