What are paper labels with string?

Also known as swing tags or tie-on labels, these are thick paper or card tags with a pre-punched hole and attached string (cotton, elastic or polypropylene). They tie to handles, garment loops, pallet cages, bottle necks and more—perfect when adhesive won’t bond or must be removable.

Why choose tie-on tags

Adhesive-free: no residue on textiles, wood, metal or rental assets.

Highly legible: smooth writing surface for pens and markers; accept stamps and stickers.

Strong attachment: reinforced eyelets and durable string resist tearing during handling.

Best-use scenarios

Warehousing & 3PL: pick-wave IDs, QA status, cross-dock notes; loop to pallet boxes and stillages.

Retail & eCommerce: price tags, care instructions, gifting notes on bottle boxes and hampers.

Manufacturing: job tickets and WIP routing where finishes reject adhesives.

Returns: tie-on RMA/condition tags alongside documents wallets.

Events & rentals: asset labels for cases, stands and cables—remove cleanly post-event.

Fragile goods: add handling notes with dispenser labels for extra visibility.

How to apply for best results

1) Choose the tie point: handles, flute holes, or strap loops—avoid abrasion points.

2) Double-knot: for heavy items, use a surgeon’s knot or loop through twice.

3) Write first: add notes before tying to prevent wobble; use permanent marker for humidity resistance.
