Mnhorsemom Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 How many of you use hang tags and how many use labels on your container candles? I have always done hang tags cause I figured that the candle would look better burning without a label stuck to the jar (and since I do soy it would be easy for folks to clean out the jars to use for other things and not have to mess with scraping a label off) To make my hang tags I buy the cheap business card blanks at Walmart and use my Printshop program. Never had a problem with lining things up on the card and I print my burning instructions on one side and my info on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalClear Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I use hang tags..but then again, I have too. Wouldn't make sense to slap on a label on my gel creations! I do what you do too...buy the cheapy biz cards from Walmart and create my own. I always stick a warning label on the bottom of the candle too, as well as printing it on the back of my hang tag.

BLSoaps Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Knowing myself from a consumers point of view, I toss hang tags, usually on the first use. Make sure your contact info is on a sticker somewhere on the candle, like the bottom, or you'll struggle with repeat business. Just a thought...

erinmfritz Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I started with hang tage and a scent label on the lid. I since changed to a label with a scent name & picture on one side and it looks much more professional. I think it is just personal preference though.

shopkeypurr Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It depends on the size and shape of the jar on what i'll use. I usually have a 2x4 label on my large round container candles and also have a candle poem on a hang tag with a charm and tied on with ribbon. On smaller candles i use hang tags.

DatCandleMaker Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I hate labels on jars. I would never buy a candle with a huge label stuck to the side of the jar. However, I can see the benefits from a business point of view. I use hang tags - cause I hate labels and because I like the look. I am proud that my candles are handmade. I want to keep the handmade look. I use cardstock, print my labels and then cut them down to the size I like. The back of my hangtag is a gift tag and I have the price very small at the bottom so it can be cut off for gift giving. I print my own warning labels with my company info on them. They go on the bottom of the jar. Dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinMom Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 can someone post a pic of their candles with a hang tag and without? I want to see what the difference looks are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanasnecessities Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I don't waste my money on business card stock, I buy card stock, it is the same thing as the cheap business card stock, I used to cut them, but I found it was quicker and easier with the manual cutter machine for business cards.

erinmfritz Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Good point Nanasnecessities. It is much cheaper to use card stock than the pre cut business cards. I just found a ream at Sam's Club for less than $8.00. I do use the hang tags on my wickless candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
