Velvet Suede Laminated Hang Tags
Velvet suede laminated hang tags (often called soft touch hang tags or suede hang tags) are one of the most premium ways to elevate product packaging and brand presentation. With a rich matte look and a distinctly velvety, smooth-to-the-touch finish, these hang tags create an immediate “wow” moment the second a customer picks up your product. If your brand cares about craftsmanship, texture, and perceived value, suede lamination is a high-end upgrade that feels intentional and unforgettable.
Unlike glossy coatings that can reflect light and show fingerprints, velvet suede lamination offers a refined, low-glare surface that looks sophisticated in-store, in unboxing videos, and in product photography. Colors print beautifully, blacks feel deeper, and typography stays crisp—making these tags ideal for luxury retail, boutique packaging, and premium product lines.

- More durable than uncoated tags: Helps resist scuffs, handling wear, and minor moisture exposure.
- Fingerprint-friendly: Better at hiding smudges than many glossy options.
