Tag Stock
Tag Stock for Reinforcement Patches
Red and white tag stock slit to a 7/8″ primary reinforcement-patch width, used to reinforce the punched hole on tags across safety, compliance, and industrial applications.
Product Overview
Reinforcement Patches, Slit to Width
Paper Dimensions procures Tag Stock from paper mills and slits it into the narrow widths used for reinforcement patches — also called reinforcement rings or circles — applied around the punched hole on a tag. In the tag industry, this material is sometimes called Red Patch stock, reflecting the color most commonly used for the application.
Paper Dimensions is the converter and supplier of Tag Stock; we do not manufacture the base paper itself.
Standard Colors
Red and White, Stocked and Ready
Red
The traditional reinforcement-patch color, and the origin of the industry term “Red Patch.”
White
Stocked alongside red as a standard inventory color.
Other colors are available by special order — contact our team with your requirement.
