Our Barcode Hang tags are removable, reusable solutions for a variety of applications.

Barcode Hang Tags may be used for cold storage, asset control, personnel identification, logistics, work-in-progress, warehousing applications and more. The .003” polyester construction laminated to .010” white polyester keeps the profile of the tag relatively thin, yet offers excellent rigidity and resistance to bending and tearing.
