Quick answer: a metal clothing label is normally fixed to the finished product; a hang tag is normally removable retail or product-information packaging. Buyers may also call the permanent part a metal logo tag, brand plate, nameplate or metal hem tag. Name the placement and substrate in the RFQ so the attachment is specified correctly.
How to specify a metal garment tag
| Application | Useful format | Attachment decision | Buyer approval check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garment hem, pocket or outer label | Flat nameplate, script wordmark or side-tab label | Sewing holes, side tabs or fold-in legs selected against the fabric stack | Edge profile, skin contact, placement and required wash route |
| Bag, luggage or leather goods | Rectangular plate, round medallion or openwork logo | Fold-in legs, loops or rivet-ready holes with suitable panel reinforcement | Attachment fit, pull resistance, finish rub and backing clearance |
| Footwear, hats and accessories | Small plate, charm or wordmark | Mounting structure chosen for the actual upper, band or panel | Logo legibility, snag risk, weight and comfort at the intended location |
| Removable retail identification | Hanging logo piece or garment seal tag | Loop, ring or tag string that is removed before use | Confirm it is packaging—not a permanent care or brand label |

|---|---|---|
| Base construction | Metal type, part weight and component count affect tooling and material use. | Preferred material or the required appearance and use case |
| Size and thickness | Larger, thicker or heavier parts use more material and may need a different attachment. | Dimensioned drawing in millimetres |
| Logo detail and tooling | Relief, recess, cut-outs, script strokes and color fill require different processes. | Vector artwork plus the smallest critical detail |
| Finish and color | Plating tone, texture, antique effects and color fill change the process route. | Physical reference, finish photo or agreed color target |
| Attachment | Holes, tabs, legs, loops and rivet-ready structures change the part design and assembly. | Placement drawing and real substrate stack |
| Quantity and variants | Tooling and setup are divided across the quantity for each design, size and finish. | Units per variant and expected repeat volume |
| Testing and packing | Use-specific inspection, protective packing and labeling add separate requirements. | Destination standard, test method and packing instruction |
Our catalogue currently groups 41 label and tag styles across different materials, constructions and order plans, so a single public price or MOQ would not be comparable. The quotation confirms the exact combination after the RFQ is reviewed.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make our own logo as a metal clothing label?
Yes. Send the logo artwork, finished dimensions, target product, preferred finish, attachment method and quantity. Feasibility, tooling, MOQ, sample schedule and pricing are then confirmed for that exact construction.
What finishes are available for metal garment tags?
The examples on this page include shiny or matte gold, silver, gunmetal, black, rose-gold and antique-style tones. The achievable tone and texture depend on the base construction and approved physical sample.
How are metal labels attached to clothing or bags?
Possible structures include sewing holes, side tabs, fold-in legs, loops, hanging rings and rivet-ready holes. Choose the method against the actual fabric, leather or panel stack and validate it on production substrate before bulk.
What is the difference between a metal clothing label and a hang tag?
A metal clothing label or logo plate is normally a permanent brand trim attached to the product. A hang tag is normally removable retail or product-information packaging. State which function you need in the RFQ.
What should a metal label RFQ include?
Include vector artwork, outer dimensions, target product and placement, attachment method, finish reference, color-fill requirements, quantity per design or finish, packaging needs and any required wash, rub or corrosion test.
What should be checked on a metal label sample?
Check dimensions, logo detail, edge profile, finish and color, attachment fit and placement on the real substrate. Add use-specific wash, rub, pull or corrosion checks when the finished product requires them.
