Folded hang tag checklist

Work through these checks on the exported artwork, then check the proof before approving your order.

Before you upload

Confirm the flat size, folded size, fold direction and hole position for the selected tag. Work from that product layout.
Identify the front, back and inside panels. Leave a clear area around the hanging hole and any specified punch or cutout.
Print a paper mockup in the selected horizontal or vertical orientation. Fold it and mark the hole so you can check how the tag hangs and opens.
Extend backgrounds 0.125 inches past every outside trim edge. Keep essential text and logos at least 0.125 inches inside trim and clear of folds. Avoid thin borders that make small cutting shifts more visible.
Keep pricing, barcodes, QR codes and care instructions clear of the fold and hole. Test any barcode or QR code at its final printed size.
Check image quality at final size: aim for 300 dpi for these products. Use CMYK unless the product setup specifies otherwise.
Embed fonts or outline text, include placed images and check transparency in the exported file. Export as PDF, PNG, JPG/JPEG or TIF/TIFF.
Read every panel at actual size. Verify spelling, phone numbers, addresses and QR codes. Remove visible layout guides from the final artwork.
Upload clearly labeled files for each side. Review the proof for panel order, rotation, size and finish, then approve it before printing.
