Small labels or tags attached to items like clothing or products with a string or thread, usually containing product information or price.
From 'hang' (Old English 'hon') + 'tag' (possibly from Middle English 'tagge'), combining the concept of something suspended with a label or marker. The 'hang' refers to how these tags are physically attached and displayed.
Hangtags are designed to be removed before use, yet manufacturers keep them on because studies show that visible tags actually increase perceived quality—our brains trust what looks official and unfamiliar more than what's already been handled.
