What are garment tag pins and its classification

In the garment, fashion, and retail industries, tag pins (also known as tagging fasteners or tag attaching pins) are essential packaging accessories used to secure hang tags and price tags to products. Choosing the right type of tag pin helps protect the fabric surface while optimizing workers’ operating speed on the production line.

Currently, tag pins are classified by thickness (Standard & Fine) and by origin (Japanese & Vietnamese), with material options ranging from virgin plastic and recycled plastic to bio-based plastic.
