Discuss the various finishing services that can help showcase your brand. Topics include custom neck tag labels, hang tags, garment washes, folding, bagging and even shipment/packaging options.
After going through other threads it seems that a tagging gun is required to attach the hang tags BUT are they all the same or is there a particular tagging gun that i need?? Just looking to attach hang tag with the usual thin plastic strip.

Or thread and a safety pin, or tying a loop through the neck label loop. Depends on the look you're going for (and how much spare time you have ).

They're more or less the same. And often the very same - there don't actually appear to be that many different brands out there (more brand names than actual different products). eBay is by far the cheapest source.
There are two different sizes of guns and plastic thingies. One called "fine" and the other one.
I know this because I bought one size gun and the other size barbs...
Now I have 2 guns and 2 boxes of barbs - and I probably use 100 of the barbs per year.
Sigh.
Uline is VERY expensive for supplies like these - convenient, but very expensive. Look for a local type vendor of shopping bags, store fixtures, and the like. They'll likely have the guns and accessories.
I tag shirts with a baesting gun. You can buy them at Joanns or other fabric shops This is used to keep the layers of a quilt together before the quilting is completed. .... JB
I might use shoe-laces as my "handtag holder" so no tagging gun needed.
That's an interesting idea for a streetwear brand. Doesn't sound very cost effective, but if it's a finishing touch that sets your brand apart perhaps it could be worth it. I imagine the laces themselves could be bought fairly cheaply in bulk (though still rather more expensive than a plastic barb), but the labour involved would not be insignificant.

Its something I've never seen before, so im going for it. Plus, you get a cool tee and free shoe laces... lol.. I have a supplier in LA that sells them in bulk. I'll post a pic soon.
This is a discussion about Hang tag (swing tag) attaching?? Tagging gun that was posted in the T-Shirt Tag Relabeling and Finishing section of the forums.
