Tag Card Design

Custom Tag Card Design in Sialkot — Malik Art Printing Press

A tag card only works if it is designed for the product it hangs on. Malik Art has been printing and designing custom tag cards in Sialkot since 1954, and this page covers the design side of our work: developing the artwork, choosing the shape, planning the fold, and selecting the finishing so the tag feels right for the garment, tool or retail product it is attached to. Most brands come to us with nothing more than a logo and a rough idea. Our design team builds the layout, sets the size chart and care panel, creates the die-cut shape, prepares a print-ready file, and sends a digital proof within 24 hours. Because design, plate making, printing, lamination, foil, die-cutting and punching all happen under one roof, a design decision made on screen is exactly what comes off the press.

Design Services We Offer

Logo and Layout Design

Send a logo file, a reference tag or even a photograph of a competitor tag, and we build a complete layout: front branding panel, back information panel, size chart, care symbols, country of origin, price block and social media icons. Urdu, English, Arabic and bilingual layouts are all handled in-house.

Die-Cut Shape Development

We develop the cutting die alongside the artwork. Rectangle, square, circle, oval, shield, bottle-neck, house, hexagon and fully custom silhouettes are drawn to scale, so the shape you approve on the proof is the shape that comes out of the die every single time on repeat orders.

Folded Header and Blister Card Design

Folded header cards for socks, gloves, hosiery and baby wear, and blister cards for cuticle pushers, manicure nippers, cosmetics and small tools. We plan the fold line, euro hole, euro slot and product window position at design stage so the packed product sits correctly on the shelf.

Artwork Cleanup and Print-Ready Files

If you already have a designer, send the file and we will audit it before plates are made: bleed, trim size, resolution, font embedding, colour mode, barcode contrast and minimum line weight. This step alone prevents most of the reprint problems we see in this market.

Template Library for Repeat Orders

Every approved design is saved as a template. When you reorder for a new season, a new size range or a new product line, we update the text and colour and reuse the same die and layout, which keeps your tag visually consistent across thousands of SKUs and years of production.

Tag Card Design FAQs

Can you design the tag card if I only have a logo?

Yes. Most of our clients start with just a logo and a rough idea. Send the logo, your product details and any reference tag you like, and our design team builds the full layout including size panel, care symbols, barcode and branding, then sends a digital proof within 24 hours with revisions included until you approve it.

What die-cut shapes and folded header styles can you produce?

We produce rectangle, square, circle, oval, shield, house, bottle-neck, hexagon, arch and fully custom die-cut shapes, plus single and double folded header cards with euro hole or euro slot, and blister cards with a product window. The cutting die is developed with the artwork, so repeat orders come out identical.

Which finishing gives a premium look without raising the cost too much?

The best value premium combination is 300 to 450 gsm art card with matt lamination plus gold or silver foil on the logo. Soft-touch lamination, embossing and spot UV are the next step up, and 600 gsm greyboard or rigid board is used when the tag must feel heavy in the hand for leather, denim or luxury retail.

Do you design blister cards and packaging cards for tools and instruments?

Yes. We design and print blister and packaging cards for cuticle pushers, manicure nippers, dental and surgical instruments and small tools, including product window position, hang hole, size specification panel, material details and barcode, so the packed product displays correctly on a retail or pharmacy shelf.

How does the design process work from idea to printed tag?

Send your brief and reference, we return a digital proof within 24 hours, a physical sample with the real board, lamination, foil and die-cut shape follows in 3 to 5 working days, and bulk printing takes 7 to 12 working days after your written approval. Minimum order is 500 pieces per design, and we keep your template and die for future reorders.
