How to Create a Hang Tag
Hang tags have a variety of uses. You can create a unique hang tag to place on your luggage to quickly identify your bags after a flight or ride on a train. You can also create a hang tag to attach to any items that you are selling, such as pieces of jewelry. These hang tags will list your business information. Hang tags are very easy to make at home.

For Luggage

1
Find a colorful card, or make one from a piece of card stock. You can use a playing card from a deck of cards. You can also use a small Christmas card. If you make one from card stock, choose a bright noticeable color. Decorate it with markers, stickers, or a picture of your favorite animal. It just has to stand out and be noticeable to you.

Tips & Warnings
If you are making a hang tag from card stock, you want the hang tag to be at least the size of a business card. If it is any smaller, you will have trouble seeing it from far away.
You may want to laminate your hang tag to prevent it from getting damaged in bad weather.
