Many first-time or experienced buyers worry about overlooking key details when inspecting custom clothing hang tags from packaging suppliers. Simply checking color and logo placement isn’t enough. Here are two effective self-check methods for thick paper tags with mounted layers.
First, check the four corners. Some manufacturers use low-quality glue or mounting paper, which can cause the corners to lift over time. Even if tags look fine upon arrival, use a hairdryer on hot mode to gently heat the corners. If the glue is substandard, it may lose adhesion and cause the layers to separate—an important sign to reconsider your supplier.
Second, watch for tiny bubbles. These aren’t always visible right away. They may result from improper de-airing during the ink-and-water mixing process or insufficient drying during printing. To test, gently press the tag. If irregular spikes or bubbles appear on the mounted side, it may indicate trapped moisture or air.
These simple physical checks can help ensure quality. More industry tips will follow in future posts of Custom Clothing Hang Tag.
