Hangtags & Labels Design
Award-winning hangtags and labels from the GDUSA Design Awards, with the firm and the designers credited on every project.
9 award-winning projects
A hangtag or a label is the smallest piece of branding a company prints and the last one a customer reads before buying. The designer fits a brand and a barcode into a few square inches and makes the printing feel like part of the product. The winners here are tiny and complete. PPG's Pittsburgh Paints & Stains label assortment made a hardware shelf scannable by color, and Origin Design Collective's Frank Goodness tags turned merchandise into a brand piece. The best hangtag and label designers in the awards are shown here. Open any piece to see it up close and learn how it works.
