What moves the price

For hangtag string, the drivers are material, hook profile, bar type, finish, plating, mount type, metal type, finish/plating — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

For hang tag string, price is driven mainly by material (plastic vs nylon/cotton/elastic), customization, and order size; custom color, logo, and specific attachment styles push pricing up. Realistic supplier routes are direct-factory export listings and wholesale trade platforms, where small MOQ custom runs are much more expensive per unit than 10k+ and 50k+ quantities. Published quotes show very low landed-equivalent factory pricing at high volumes, but US-facing brand orders usually pay more once printing, packaging, and freight are included.

Also known as: balloon string, loop pin, tag fastener, tag string.
