CUSTOM TAGS & LABELS
Why Add Custom Tags and Labels to Your Apparel?
Custom hem tags, size tags, and labels are a powerful way to build brand recognition and perceived value into your apparel. Adding custom tags transforms a basic blank garment into a fully branded product that feels intentional, professional, and retail‑ready.
Hem tags can stand alone as a subtle brand mark, or be added to the sleeve or bottom hem of every shirt you print. This small detail turns a shirt printed on someone else’s blank into something that clearly represents your brand.
At Merch Dog, we offer a variety of custom tagging options, including hem tags, hang tags, and size labels. These can be produced using screen‑printed transfers, direct screen printing, and other professional application methods, depending on your design and garment choice.
If you’re looking to elevate your merch, improve branding consistency, and create a more premium customer experience, custom labeling is one of the best finishing touches you can add.
Sewn Tags
Sewn tags are a premium option for custom hem tags and size tags that are stitched directly onto your garments. This method creates a high‑end, retail‑quality finish that elevates your merch and reinforces your brand at every touchpoint.
Because sewn tags are permanently attached, they offer a more polished and durable alternative to printed labels—making them ideal for retail apparel, branded merchandise, and long‑term wear.
At Merch Dog, we offer custom sewn tagging for customers looking to take their apparel to the next level. Custom sewn tags have a 96‑piece minimum to ensure consistent quality and production efficiency.
Ask our team if sewn tags are the right fit for your project, and we’ll help you select the best tagging option for your brand.
Screen Printed Tags
Screen printed tags are a clean, professional way to private label your apparel without adding bulk or discomfort. This method uses direct screen printing or screen printed transfers to apply your brand name and size information directly inside each garment.
During the process, the original factory label is removed and replaced with your custom branded label, giving your apparel a polished, retail‑ready finish. This creates a more comfortable wearing experience while helping protect and strengthen your brand identity.
Screen printed tags are ideal for t‑shirts, hoodies, and lightweight garments, and are a popular choice for brands looking for a modern, minimalist labeling solution.
If you’re ready to move beyond blanks and fully own your product, screen printed tags are an effective and affordable way to take your brand to the next level.
