Shipping Tags: Reliable Identification for Every Package
Effective shipping and inventory management starts with quality tags that stay attached and legible throughout handling and transit. Our shipping tags combine durable construction with practical design, providing reliable identification for packages, products, and inventory items. Whether running a warehouse, e-commerce business, or retail operation, proper tagging prevents errors, improves organization, and streamlines logistics operations.
Product Overview
Our shipping tags are manufactured from sturdy materials designed to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling. Reinforced eyelet holes prevent tearing when attached to packages or products. Smooth writing surfaces accept pen, marker, or printer ink clearly. Choose from standard manila tags for general use, colored tags for visual organization systems, or waterproof synthetic tags for challenging conditions. Available in wholesale quantities from small business packs to bulk commercial orders, our tags provide reliable identification at prices that work for operations of any size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size shipping tag should I use?
A: Size #4 (4.25″ x 2.125″) works for most standard shipping applications. Larger packages or those requiring more information may need #5 or #8. Small items or inventory use smaller #1 or #2 sizes.
Q: Are pre-strung tags better than plain tags?
A: Pre-strung tags offer convenience and time savings, especially for high-volume operations. Plain tags provide flexibility in attachment method and cost slightly less if you have preferred fasteners.
Q: Can shipping tags withstand weather exposure?
A: Standard manila tags handle light moisture but not extended weather exposure. For outdoor use or wet conditions, choose waterproof synthetic or tyvek tags specifically designed for weather resistance.
Q: What’s the minimum order quantity?
A: Plain stock tags available in boxes of 100-1,000 depending on size. Custom printed tags typically require minimums of 500-1,000. Wholesale pricing improves significantly at higher quantities.
Q: Can you add barcodes to shipping tags?
A: Yes! We can print barcodes, QR codes, sequential numbering, or variable data on custom tags for inventory tracking and automated scanning systems.
Q: How do I choose between wire and string attachment?
A: Wire provides stronger, more secure attachment for heavy items or rough handling. String works well for lighter packages and costs less. Choose based on your specific shipping conditions.
