Even though the most popular use for gift tags are on presents for the holiday seasons, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t very well incorporate them into part of your packaging. The level of craft in these tags can actually endear your clients to your brand, seeing that there’s so much personalisation it can bring. Imagine how much more attractive it would be to attach it to a keychain stamp?

Now if you’re thinking about creating gift tags for your brand, here’s how you can do so with the help of your self inking stamp:

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, you’ll need to first get some supplies ready for yourself. You’re free to make changes depending on how you want your customised gift tag to look but as a default recommendation, you’ll need items including:

  • Your self inking stamp
  • Material of your choice
  • Ribbons or string and other embellishments

Make sure that the material you have chosen is even enough to stamp on. It should also be compatible with the ink you use for your self inking stamp to prevent the possibility of smudging or patchiness in your final design. If you want to take the extra step, you can also decide to customise the overall shape of your gift tag too. However, we also recommend that you measure the dimensions of your tag and leave some bleed area spacing for your self inking stamp to be applied on just in case.

Plotting Out A Design

We also recommend coming up with a few design templates first before you get to creating. For better reference, you can make use of a pencil to lightly sketch where you want each design element to be placed. This makes it easier for you to remember the exact positioning of embellishments and other stylistic choices you want to make. Making design sketches first can also help you better visualise just how much free range you have for creativity and how much you have to keep consistent.

To give an example, most gift tags come with a hole punched in along the top so that ribbons, craft string and the like can be attached to it. You can choose to position the attachment however way you like but you’ll have to find an alternative way to attach your gift tag if you want to completely do without the standard hole punched in method all gift tags are created with.

Application of your Self Inking Stamp

Your self inking stamp should be the highlight of your gift tag so it’s important to know what you want to do with them. Some classic examples of rubber stamps you can use as part of your gift tag design includes:

  • A center image
  • Border type stamps
  • Customised handwriting type fonts

Using images can help you steal the limelight by drawing attention to it, so if you have a self inking stamp with your company logo or a cartoon/drawing that can help clients associate it with your business, then that is a good choice to include into your tag. Alternatively, you can also try out borders with colours that remind others of your company and frame a nice message for your customers. If you want to go a step above, you can also customise your own handwriting into a self inking stamp and use that in your company gift tags as well!
