Are PVC tags waterproof?

Yes. The stock itself is waterproof rather than coated, so it does not soften, warp or disintegrate when wet. It suits outdoor storage, damp conditions and anything handled with wet hands.

How waterproof are waterproof tags?

The stock is waterproof rather than coated, so the tag survives rain, damp storage and wet handling. Printing and foiling are applied so they do not lift.

Can I print swing tags myself?

For a handful, yes. For a run of any size, home printing rarely holds colour across the batch and cannot do die-cut shapes, foiling or embossing. Our minimum is 100 per design precisely so small brands do not have to.

How much do swing tags cost?

Pricing starts at £0.02 per tag. What you pay depends on the stock, the size, how many colours you print and which finishes you add - foiling and embossing cost more than plain printing. Send the specification and the quote comes back itemised, so you can see what each choice is worth.

Can you cut a shape of my own?

Yes. Send the outline you want and it is produced as a custom die-cut, in any size.

Will I see a proof before it is printed?

Yes. A digital proof is produced from your requirements and nothing goes on press until you approve it.

How long does printing and delivery take?

Ten to twelve working days from artwork approval, then delivery across the UK.

A waterproof PVC hang tag delivers rugged performance with a polished, retail-ready finish that lasts. Engineered to resist rain, humidity, and spills, PVC tags protect barcodes, prices, and logos in tough conditions. The material’s dimensional stability keeps edges crisp and panels flat through transport and daily handling. Matte or gloss surfaces maintain readability under strobes, storefront glare, and warehouse lighting. From outdoor gear to bathroom accessories, these tags keep information intact where paper fails. Brands get long-term visibility; customers get clean, legible details from shelf to checkout. It’s the reliable choice when presentation and durability both have to be non‑negotiable.

True Waterproof Toughness

PVC’s closed-cell structure resists water ingress, so ink and graphics stay protected. Tags shrug off condensation, drizzle, and accidental spills without curling or delaminating. They’re ideal for coastal stores, garden centres, and humid stockrooms year‑round. Even after repeated wiping and sanitizing, surfaces remain clear and colour‑true. Cold-chain and shower-adjacent placements won’t cause warping or fuzzy edges. Information remains scannable so POS, inventory, and audits run smoothly. When moisture is part of the job, PVC keeps brand communication watertight.

Crisp Printing & Premium Finishes

High-resolution UV or solvent printing produces dense colour and razor‑sharp microtext. Choose satin matte for glare control, or high gloss for vivid saturation and depth. Spot UV, textured varnish, or soft‑touch coatings add hierarchy and tactile interest. Metallic foils bond cleanly to PVC, elevating logos without compromising durability. Transparent, tinted, or frosted bases unlock airy, contemporary visual effects. Die-cut windows, bevels, and shaped silhouettes reinforce brand personality. The result is a hardworking tag that still looks boutique‑level refined.

Built for Heavy Handling

PVC cores resist tearing at punch points; optional metal eyelets add extra insurance. Rounded corners minimise snags on racks, nets, and blister packs in busy aisles. Scratch‑resistant topcoats protect artwork during try‑ons and re‑shelving cycles. Thicknesses from flexible 0.3 mm to rigid 0.8+ mm match product weight and use. Anti‑scuff laminates keep tags pristine during bulk packing and transit. QA‑aligned holes ensure cords and chains hang centred for cleaner displays. Day after day, tags retain structure, sheen, and scanning reliability.

Clarity & Scannability by Design

High‑contrast palettes and disciplined type hierarchies improve quick read at distance. Barcodes and QR codes print crisp on flat, non‑porous surfaces for first‑time scans. Keep codes away from curved corners and string holes to avoid distortion. Reserve matte zones for pricing and microcopy to maintain legibility under bright lights. Use 2–3 brand colours to avoid noise on compact canvases and reduce ink gain. Consistent margins and bleed tolerances preserve alignment post die‑cut. Smart layout choices turn rugged tags into effortless information carriers.

What size should a swing tag be?

There is no single standard, which is why we print to your measurements. Smaller formats suit jewellery, candles and accessories; larger ones carry sizing grids, care symbols and a barcode without crowding. Send the dimensions of the product and we will suggest a size that sits in proportion.
