Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, local marketing tips, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
Your hang tag is really your opportunity to "brand" the garment. Care instructions, etc. are already on the label.. I'd leave that out and give yourself more room for your logo and brand info.
It partly depends what the hang tags are for. If they're for no apparent reason (online sales) you might as well just brand them to the hilt. If they're for retail, the needs of the retailers you're selling to are most important: what do they need space for, do they barcode everything or is the information printed or written on the tag, do they want you to place that information or will they do it, how do they feel about your website being on the hangtag, etc. etc.

You should include your logo, band name, slogan, product info (100% combed cotton tee), maybe your RN#. To get ideas, take a look at some other hangtags to get ideas. If selling in a retail store, there may be cerain requirements made by the store or even by the state that requires certain info.

ha any1 got any idea what would be an ideal size for a hangtag?? i looked online at afflictions tags, the black1s and im not sure how bigthey are.
and also, whats the best software to design my tag in that ican taketo a printer. can iuse photoshop? illist or combine? and if any1 knws the sizes of a hangtag then i can jst create a new image board at that size and jsut put my design on it.
I think the size is p to you as well. I bought the gun and plastic thingys. But when looking for tags, they didn't have any I could run through the laser printer. I didn't want to pay a printer to do these up, so I checked the Avery labels, etc. I grabbed a box of name badge tags. Just the paper, comes in sheets of 8. I can fit two of my tags on each one, cut it with a paper cutter and it's all good.
They can be any size, and yes, I would leave the care instructions off, they are required to be on the shirt itself, so duplicating info the customer is only going to ignore serves only to waste your money.

There are retail stores that don't want the website of the shirt brand on the hang tag? That sucks!
what to put on hang tags?
