PAPER TAG
A new coalition of some of the world‟s biggest clothing brands, which together
amount to around 60% of global apparel sales, has agreed to develop a new
environmental hang-tag for clothing that will allow shoppers to immediately
assess the environmental impact of their purchases. The news of a brand new
„Sustainable Apparel Coalition‟ was revealed by YvonChouinard, founder of
outdoor brand Patagonia, in early November. His company has been working
with the likes of Wal-Mart, C&A and Levi Strauss on the new project after a
meeting at Wal-Mart where the idea was first raised. “We have been working
with Wal-Mart to „green‟ its business which has ultimately led to the formation of
a new coalition of retailers and brands which make up between 50 – 60% of
world clothing sales”
The coalition also includes household names such as JC Penney, Nike, Gap, Coles and “many others” who are
working towards “an eco-index for consumers so that they can instantly identify the sustainable credentials of a
product”

to the environment; and as a way of preserving the surroundings, businesses such as online printers make it a point
to use recycled and eco-friendly materials. Same goes with customers as they support eco-friendly purchases like
green hang tags.
By purchasing eco friendly hang tags from online printing companies, customers automatically become supporters
and promoters of living a green and healthy life.
To protect and maintain the environmental conditions is a good cause; and, as a business owner, one can further
strengthen their support by using different ways to promote this through eco-friendly hang tags.
1. Leaf-shaped hang tag: Using a die-cut design for your hang tag in different forms of leaves can help in promoting
maintaining a clean and green environment. Also, this design can also be a unique way of producing your hang tags
and will look good when hung on your products.

selected for your design. Perhaps a 4 color on both sides option, when printing hang tags, with color brown at the
front and green at the back will signify the worst and best conditions of the environment
3. Allot space for reminders: You can also show your support by including a small note about the environment on
your hang tag. This can very much increase awareness to your customers and hopefully move them to join in your
cause.

REUSE OF HANG TAG
"Hang tags" are the tags that hang from clothing, bags, accessories,
shoes, crafts and other items. Many of them are standard paperboard in a rectangular shape, but others come in
different shapes and sizes and are made of fabric, heavyweight cardboard and other materials. Hang tags can be
reused and recycled in a number of crafty ways. When you see hang tags, particularly any that have interesting
shapes, keep them and use them in your craft project.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Paint over your hang tags and repurpose them as your own hang tags. If you are a crafter and sell items at craft
fairs or in stores, show off your concern for the environment by collecting old hang tags, painting over them and
creating your own crafty tags. This will not only recycle the tag, but keep you from having to spend money on
printing up new ones for yourself--and your customers will appreciate your added creativity and commitment to the
environment.
2Create interesting holiday ornaments. This is a craft to do with children--or friends. Collect hang tags. If doing this
as a class project, ask parents to collect their hang tags, too. Gather different decorating materials like paint, glue,
glitter and special papers. Decorate the tags with the materials, applying a base coat of paint or a collage of pretty
papers over the hang tag first.
3Make gift tags out of old hang tags. Buying gift tags often seems like a waste of money, but instead of just writing
the gift recipient's name on the wrapping paper, take a few minutes to repurpose a hang tag into a gift tag. A hang
4
8. tag can be colored over with a gold or silver marker (or paint) and then the recipients name can be written on it. Use
a nice piece of yarn or fabric to tie the gift tag onto a gift bag or secure it to the ribbon on a wrapped gift.
4Use your hang tags as embellishments in scrapbooks. The tags can be decorated and adorned as titles or captions in
scrapbook projects.
5Decorate a long hang tag (like the kind off of a backpack) into a bookmark for a child or teen. If the brand name is
something the child likes, then you can simply laminate the tag or attach it to sturdy paperboard and run a ribbon
through the top. Otherwise, you can paint over it and decorate it with stickers or small magazine photos. This is also
a suitable craft project for kids.
6Create indoor plant labels out of hang tags. Use a marker to cover the printing on the tag (red or blue are good
colors) and write the name of the plant on the tag. You can also include care instructions on the back. This is
especially helpful if you are going away on vacation and someone else is taking care of your plants.
