Buying hang tags in Bangladesh

A hang tag is a card, board, plastic or fabric tag fixed to a garment with a plastic fastener, cord or safety pin. It carries brand, style, size, colour, price, barcode and origin, sometimes care text or claims such as pre-washed. Garment exporters in Bangladesh buy tags from the brand's artwork for each order; local brands buy them for their shops.

Tag data changes with every style, colour, size and market, so the check covers the data as much as the print. A hang tag supplier in Bangladesh must print the buyer's file exactly, so Roptan sources from verified printers, checks proofs against that file, has samples scan-tested and compares bulk with the signed trim card.

Kinds of hang tag

Main hang tags

The brand tag with product information, printed on card or board. Choose it as the base of the set; a barcode ticket can sit on it or beside it.

Integrated tags

Brand, barcode and price on one tag. Choose it when the retailer accepts a single tag and each style's price and barcode are final before printing.

Barcode tickets and stickers

A separate ticket or sticker with the barcode and price. Choose it when prices or barcodes arrive after the main tag has gone to print.

Pocket flashers and joker tags

A flasher sits on the back pocket of jeans and casual trousers; a joker tag goes on the waistband. Choose them for bottoms.

Size wrappers and sock bands

A size wrapper is a self-adhesive paper or film strip that shows size or fit on folded tops; a sock band wraps socks sold by the pair or in bundles. Use them where a hanging tag would not suit.

What to tell a hang tag supplier in Bangladesh

Size, board and print
Tag size in mm, board weight in gsm, CMYK or named spot colours, the finish, and any FSC claim.
Fields and languages
Every field, such as style, colour, size, price, origin and care text, with the language and market of each version.
Barcode
Type and number from the buyer's file, with the quiet zone, the blank margin around the bars, kept clear so scanners can read it.
Hole and fastener
Hole position, and a plastic barb fired with a tagging gun, a lock loop that cannot be undone once closed, braided cord or a safety pin.
Floor-ready packing
Whether garments ship floor-ready, with hang tags, barcode and price tickets or stickers fixed before packing, ready for the shop floor.

Barcode, board and safety rules for tags

ISO/IEC 15416:2025
Grades the print quality of linear barcodes such as EAN and UPC. The 2000 and 2016 editions are withdrawn, so a report should cite 2025 or no year.
EAN-13 and UPC-A under GS1
EAN-13 has 13 digits and extends the 12-digit UPC-A, the usual code in US and Canadian retail. The number is the brand's, under GS1, and its prefix does not show where a product is made.
FSC chain of custody
FSC chain-of-custody certification is what allows the FSC label on finished products. Ask the printer for its certificate code and check it in the FSC database before the tags are printed.
CPSIA lead rule, 16 CFR 1500.91
Paper, paperboard and CMYK process inks are determined not to exceed US lead limits for children's products; spot colours and after-treatments such as screen prints are not, so buyers may ask for a lead test.

What moves the price of a hang tag

  • Size and board weight: a larger or heavier tag uses more board per piece.
  • Print: extra colours, spot colours and special finishes each add a print step.
  • Versions: every style, colour or price change is a separate file and count.
  • Shape: a die-cut shape needs its own cutting die.
  • Compliance: FSC certified printing and lead tests on spot colours add cost.

Lead times and delivery

Tags must be in the factory by the in-house date on the booking sheet, so Roptan plans each order back from that date. Artwork approval and proof rounds usually cause the delays; late barcode or price data, FSC board and lead tests add time. Roptan confirms the dates and the minimum in the quote.

Tags reach your factory store packed by style, colour and size; plastic fasteners, if ordered, usually come in boxes of 1,000 or 5,000. Roptan sends the packing list, the approved proof and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3). Tags for export orders are commonly paid by back-to-back LC against the garment order.

Buying hang tags for export

Card hang tags usually fall under HS heading 4821, paper or paperboard labels of all kinds: 4821.10 printed, 4821.90 not printed. A tag with plastic, fabric or string parts may classify elsewhere, so a customs broker confirms it. Tags are light and usually travel by air from Dhaka or inside the garment shipment.

What we check for this order

  • Proof field by fieldStyle, colour, size, price, origin and barcode number on the proof checked against the buyer's file.
  • Barcode number and scanThe number run through GS1's check digit calculator, then a printed sample scanned for a first-time read.
  • FSC codeThe printer's chain-of-custody code checked in the FSC database before an FSC-labelled order.
  • Bulk against the cardBulk tags compared with the signed trim card and counted per style, colour and size.

Questions buyers ask

Should the barcode be EAN-13 or UPC-A?

The one the retailer scans. UPC-A is the usual code in US and Canadian retail, and EAN-13 is used widely elsewhere; an EAN-13 starting with 0 is a UPC-A with a zero added. The number comes from the brand's GS1 allocation, so it is printed from the buyer's file.

Can a hang tag carry the care and fibre information?

It can repeat it, and when the sewn-in label is hidden by packaging the care information usually goes on the pack or a hang tag. A tag does not replace the label: in the US, a garment with a neck must show its country of origin on a label inside the neck.

Why do children's wear factories want plastic tag fasteners?

Children's wear and factories with sharp-metal control restrict pins and staples, so tags go on with plastic barbs or lock loops. A lock loop cannot be released once closed, so the tag stays on until it is cut off.

Can you source RFID or security tags with the hang tags?

Where the retailer requires them, yes: accessory makers in Bangladesh list RFID and security tags among their products. Send the retailer's specification and placement rules, and we source them with the rest of the tag set.

How soon will I hear back about garment accessories?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
