Sarah makes gorgeous handmade candles – perfect scents, beautiful jars, elegant packaging. Then she attaches a flimsy, poorly printed tag that makes them look cheap.
Here’s the truth: your Swing tag is the first impression of your product. A bad tag makes even premium items seem low-quality.
At Elixir Print, we fix this daily. No jargon – just simple solutions for tags that:
-
Match your product’s quality
-
Enhance your brand
-
Help sell more
Your products deserve better. Let’s make tags that do them justice.
Why Your Tag Matters More Than You Think
Think about the last time you bought something nice. Chances are:
The tag felt substantial in your hands
The design matched the product’s quality
It told you something interesting about the brand
Now think about the last time you put something back because it looked… underwhelming. Often, the tag is the culprit.
The 3 Types of Tags That Actually Work
After printing thousands of tags, we’ve found these always perform best:
The Storyteller
Shares your brand’s personality
Includes a brief “why we made this”
Example: A coffee brand explaining their direct trade with farmers
The Practical One
Clear care instructions
Material details
Size/measurement info
The Secret Salesman
Limited edition notices
QR codes to your website
Loyalty program info
5 Mistakes That Make Tags Look Cheap
We’ve seen it all:
Paper thinner than a biscuit – Always use at least 300gsm card
Text smaller than your grandma would like – 8pt minimum for main text
Designs busier than a London tube at rush hour – Leave breathing room
Colors that look nothing like the screen – Always get a physical proof
Missing the chance to connect – Your tag should do more than state a price
How We Do Things Differently
Most printers will take your money and send you whatever. We don’t. Here’s why our customers stick with us:
We’ll actually look at your design and suggest improvements (before printing)
We use materials that make your product feel premium
You’ll always speak to a human who understands small businesses
No sneaky minimum orders – start with 100 tags if that’s all you need
The Simple Truth About Pricing
Good tags don’t have to break the bank. A well-designed tag on quality cardstock might cost:
-
15p each for 100
-
9p each for 500
-
5p each for 1000
That’s less than a postage stamp to make your £50 product look worth every penny.
How It Works (Without the Headache)
-
You send us your idea (even if it’s just scribbles)
-
We suggest the best materials and finishes
-
You approve a physical proof
-
We print them properly (no cutting corners)
-
They arrive at your door, ready to impress
Total time? Usually 3-5 days. Need them faster? We can do 48 hours when needed.
Questions Real Customers Ask
“But I’m not a designer!”
Neither are most of our customers. We can create tags from scratch based on your ideas.
“What if I only sell online?”
Even more reason to invest – your tag is part of the unboxing experience.
“How do I know which material to choose?”
Tell us about your product and budget – we’ll recommend what actually works.
