The best t-shirt tag designs

Wed, Nov 25, 2009

This was originally posted by Iamthetrend.com and there are some cool tags on there but I am just a little sad they left me out. My shirts are 100% cotton and 200% badass, that line is genius. Also the printed mind label is very badly designed I couldn’t disagree with them any more on that choice. Ohh well enjoy

One of the most overlooked details in t shirts are their tags. When I say tags, I am specifically talk about the tags hidden away on the inside of your shirt. The tag that never sees the light of day, and is usually an afterthought. So after coming across some incredibly creative tags that in my mind add value and personality to a brand I decided to put together a list of companies that do an incredible job with their custom tags.

Some of these companies use silk screen tags, providing maximum comfort and that non-itchy woven tag and some of these companies opt for the custom woven tag, which to me comes off a bit more professional. I even found one brand that uses both a woven and a silk screen tag for the ultimate combination of awesomeness! Whether you prefer the woven tag or the silk screened tag I think we all can agree that the t shirt tag is becoming an art of it’s own.

Here for your viewing pleasure are 17 custom tags from 17 different upcoming and established indie brands.

ok, this was helpful. Right now my purse and t-shirt line is just a brainstorm of me and my daughters, but we do have a theme and just need to know how to go about to obtaining the company name, and how to get the rights for the tag logo and logos for the sayings we want to put on the t-shirts. If you can help me I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

This was an interesting point that I think is often overlooked. As someone working on creating a tag design, this article was helpful. I have to disagree with a lot of those choices, though. Not that they are bad, but I think there are probably others out there that are a lot more creative. I do like the Cry Wolf one, and while it is not really my style, I have to admit the Johnny Cupcake one is creative.

Jon, I wish you posted this back in July when I was wondering how to design a tag for Hello Destroyers… but thanks for the post, it’s really gotten me to think outside of the box. Cheers!

Good article. Having a custom tag helps create the image of a more professional brand. I would love to have a tag, but I’m currently selling my t-shirts on Spreadshirt who leave the original tag on. Still this article will come in handy when we begin printing t-shirts ourselves.

Thanks.

Good luck. I only know of one company that made a living off of spreadshirt and that was the company spreadshirt : )

haha, I think you’re right. The plan is to move away once we see some traction in the brand. We have our own website setup so hopefully we won’t be on SS forever.

I would love to get a printed tag on my shirts! But how would I go about doing this? The shirts that get screen printed already have tags inside them! Is there a way to successfully remove the tag? Or can you buy blank, tagless shirts?

they’re definitely more companies that do some killer tag designs, I will definitely be putting together a second part to this article, glad everyone enjoyed it. I put together articles like this a lot at iamthetrend.com And Jon you definitely will be in the follow up article.

Many screen printers will remove the tags and screen print the tags for you. I haven't really looked into getting actual tags made that are sewed on.
