Custom Leather Tags for Manufacturers

You make the product. We make the tag.

We make custom leather tags for companies that already build a product and need a small branded tag to finish it. You stay focused on what you make. We cut, engrave, and ship the tags. Most manufacturers sew them on themselves, and we can pre-cut sew holes to make that easy. Pre-cut hang holes are available too, for uses such as bottles.

There is no standard size, and that is the value. We make a custom size and shape for every order, to suit your needs, not ours. Each tag is cut from real Hermann Oak leather, laser engraved, and produced in Florida. There is no minimum order. We send a digital proof the same day, and most orders are ready in 5-10 business days. We can also handle runs in the thousands on short notice.

Who this is for

If you manufacture or brand a product and you do not make leather tags, we can be that partner. The tag itself is a small piece of material. The value is a consistent brand mark, in the custom size, shape, and attachment style your product needs, in the quantity you actually use.

For full package manufacturers

Full package shops already come to us for custom leather embellishment. If you run full package production (FPP), you source the fabric, trims, and labels for the brands you manufacture. We can be your custom embellishment partner for the leather tags in that package. You make the product. We make the tag.

Each tag is cut from real Hermann Oak leather, laser engraved in Florida, and made in a custom size and shape to suit the item you are sewing. There is no minimum, so you can start with a sample, then order the quantity for the run. We send a same-day digital proof, and most orders are ready in 5-10 business days. We can also handle runs in the thousands on short notice. Most manufacturers sew the tags on themselves, and we can pre-cut sew holes. Pre-cut hang holes are available when a tag needs to hang.

Apparel and fashion brands

Add a sew-on leather label to garments and accessories. Start with a sample so you can see the leather, the engraving, and the fit on your product. When the design is right, order the quantity you need for the next run, then reorder as you produce.

Makers of sewn goods

A leather tag works anywhere a brand mark is sewn into a product, not only clothing. That includes bags, outdoor and fitness gear, home goods, upholstery, pet products, and canvas goods. Tell us the size and shape you need. We make a custom size and shape for every order.

Spirits, wine, and craft beverage brands

A leather hang tag on a bottle is a simple way to mark a private or custom event, a gift set, or a special release. Pre-cut hang holes are available for this kind of use. We can also make custom leather tags with peel & stick adhesive so they can be applied to hard goods.

Other ways to use a leather tag

The same tags work on gift boxes, corporate gifts, candles, and other packaged goods. If your product needs a small branded leather tag, we can make it.

How it works

1. Send your artwork. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF) engrave cleanly. High-resolution raster files (PNG or JPG at 300 DPI or higher) also work. We will review the art with you if it needs a simple adjustment.
2. Approve a digital proof. We send a same-day digital proof. Production does not start until you approve it.
3. Order a sample if you want to test it. There is no minimum, so you can put a tag on your product before you commit to a larger run.
4. Place the production run. When you are ready, we produce the quantity you need. Most orders are ready in 5-10 business days. If your timeline is tighter, contact us and we will tell you what is possible.

How the tags attach

Most manufacturers have sewing expertise and sew the tags on themselves. That is the usual path.

• Sew-on. We can pre-cut sew holes so the tags are ready for you to stitch in.
• Hang holes. Pre-cut hang holes are available when the tag needs to hang, for example on a bottle.

Pre-cut rivet holes are also available if you need them.

Why Hermann Oak leather

We use Hermann Oak leather, a vegetable-tanned leather made in St. Louis, Missouri since 1881. It is tanned with plant-based materials, not a plastic or poly substitute, and it ages well with use. We cut, engrave, and assemble the tags in Florida with an industrial CO2 laser, which gives a crisp, permanent mark that will not fade.

Many of our tags are cut from leftover Hermann Oak from our patch production. It is the same leather, with less waste. When leftover material is already spoken for, we use the same stock leather.

We recommend tan or chestnut for the richest engraving contrast. Darker options are also available: British Brown, London Tan, Chestnut, Havana, and Black.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum order?

No. There is no minimum. You can order a sample or a production quantity.

How long does a tag order take?

Plan on 5-10 business days after you approve the proof. If you have a shorter timeline, contact us with the date you need the tags and we will let you know what we can do.

What leather do you use?

Real Hermann Oak vegetable-tanned leather. Tags are cut, engraved, and assembled in Florida.

Can I see the design before you produce the tags?

Yes. We send a same-day digital proof, and we wait for your approval before production begins.

How do the tags attach to a product?

Most manufacturers sew the tags on themselves. We can pre-cut sew holes for that. Pre-cut hang holes are available too, for example on bottle tags. We can also pre-cut rivet holes if you need them.

What sizes do you offer?

There is no standard size. That is the value. We make a custom size and shape for every order, to suit your product, not a size that happens to be convenient for us. Send the dimensions that work for your item and we will confirm what we can produce.

What artwork should I send?

A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF) is best. A high-resolution PNG or JPG at 300 DPI or higher also works. Simple, bold artwork engraves most clearly.

Do you work with full package manufacturers?

Yes. Full package shops already come to us for custom leather embellishment. We make the leather tags you sew into the products you manufacture for your brand clients. There is no minimum, so you can start with a sample and then order the quantity for the run.

Can we sample a tag and then reorder for production?

Yes. Approve a same-day digital proof, order a sample if you want to test it on the product, then place the production quantity. When you need more, contact us with the same size, leather, and artwork.
