Swing Tickets
A swing ticket, sometimes known as a hang tag, is a printed board or material with text, then attached to a garment for sale. Swing tags, unlike other labels, are not sewn into a garment: they can be attached to the garment with various types of stringing or a plastic attachment.
A swing ticket gives you the space to get creative with your branding. Although they may have only begun as a simple price tag, they've evolved into an increasingly key part of how a product is branded.
