Wiring Options for Custom Hang Tags
Standard Wire Materials
Ideal for more rugged, outdoor and industrial applications, wire tags can be created using 21, 23 or 26 gauge, galvanized steel wire. These wires are cut to length and fastened to each tag prior to shipment. It is important to note that higher gauge numbers mean thinner wire and the difference often involves a choice between strength and flexibility.
12" x 26 Gauge Steel
This is the most popular choice for standard, light industrial tags. These wires are very durable, but bend effortlessly and can be cut easily.
12" x 23 Gauge Steel
Ideal for tags requiring a little extra durability. These wires are about 16 mm thicker than 26-gauge wires so they are more rigid - although still very pliable.
12" x 21 Gauge Steel
Stiff and strong, 21-gauge wires are 31 mm thicker than 26-gauge wires and are best heavy-duty hang tags exposed to pulling or tugging. May requires pliers to twist.
Standard Wiring Options
Length
Our most common custom wire tags feature 12" long galvanized steel wires that are folded and twisted to provide two 6" sections for fastening. 16" long wires are also available upon request, but are not standard.
Wiring Method
Tags are supplied with wires inserted through holes and twisted with two open ends so that the tag can be easily affixed to application.
