Diep is a technical fashion designer here in Saigon, she says, "hang tags can be attached to your garment in many ways. The connectors can be plastic, cotton or metal. Hang tags are a part of you brand concept so do them well if you want to build brand equity. For example you want to give a feminine look to your hang tags, you can attach by a piece of shiny red ribbon. If you're not sure what kind of hang tag you want then go to store and refer to a photo to show factory."

You don’t want to find out at the last minute that the wording on hang tags are wrong so include hang tag checks in your quality control check list.
