10 Free Printable Christmas Gift Tags (Print, Cut & Tie On)
A wrapped present is only finished when the tag is tied on — and a beautiful tag makes even the simplest brown-paper parcel look thoughtful. These ten free printable gift tag designs are made to be printed at home on US Letter paper, cut out along the dashed lines, and tied on with twine or ribbon. Kraft and twine, red plaid, pine and berries, and one very cheerful little red truck: pick your favourites, print a sheet, and every present under the tree looks finished.
Every design below prints six tags per sheet, print-ready at 300 DPI, and completely free — no email sign-up, no watermark, just the download button under each preview. Each sheet has a punch hole marked and To and From lines already ruled in, so all you need is a pair of scissors and some string. The photos show the tags’ style on real wrapped gifts, so you can see how each design looks tied on; the print itself is the PDF, never the photo.
If you are wrapping the whole pile at once, start with our Christmas stocking ideas, our oversized Christmas bows, and our Christmas tree decorating ideas — the tags below fit right in with all three.
1. Kraft & Twine
Brown kraft paper, a double wrap of twine, a pine sprig and two red berries — this is the simplest tag in the set, and the one that goes with absolutely everything. It suits brown-paper parcels best, but it looks just as good tied on to red, green, or white wrapping.
Print it on kraft-coloured card if you can find it; the design is made for it, and the tag feels sturdier in card. If you only have white paper, print it anyway — the kraft background is part of the design, so it still looks right.
Tip: Tie these tags on with real twine, not ribbon — the twine is half the look, and a little sprig of pine tucked under the knot finishes it.

2. Red Plaid
Warm red plaid with a cream label in the middle and a little gold star on top — this is the cosy cabin tag, and the one that feels most like Christmas morning. It brings instant warmth to a plain parcel.
The plaid uses a lot of red ink, so print it on a good quality setting and let it dry fully before cutting, or the colours can smudge. Tie it on with red ribbon or a thin gold cord.
Tip: These tags are made for parcels wrapped in brown paper — the red plaid against the kraft paper is the classic combination.

3. Pine & Berries
Deep green, pine sprigs, red berries, and a gold bauble in the middle — this is the most traditional tag in the set, and the one that suits almost any present. It looks particularly good on a parcel wrapped in kraft paper with a white ribbon.
Print it on matte photo paper if you have it; the green reads deeper on matte than on glossy. A dark green ribbon makes it look like a shop-bought tag.
Tip: Tuck a real pine sprig under the twine when you tie this one on, and the tag and the parcel will match like they were planned together.

4. Gold Foil Star
A big gold star on deep green, with ‘Season’s Greetings’ in gold script underneath — this is the most elegant tag in the set, and the one that looks most expensive. The gold-on-green combination suits a formal present, or the one present you want to stand out under the tree.
Print it on matte paper and tie it on with gold cord or thin gold ribbon. If your printer has a photo setting, use it — the star’s gradient will come out smoother.
Tip: Use this tag on the biggest present under the tree — the gold star makes it the one everyone notices first.

5. Snowy Village
A little village at dusk, deep navy sky, warm yellow windows, and snow falling — this is the cosiest tag in the set. It looks like a Christmas card, and it makes a plain parcel feel like a present from a storybook.
This one suits a black or dark green ribbon best, which echoes the night sky. Tie it on to a present wrapped in white or silver paper, and the village seems to glow.
Tip: Print two sheets and use these tags on every present for one person — the matching set looks deliberate, like a signature.

6. Dried Orange Slices
Dried orange slices and cinnamon sticks on a warm cream background — this is the natural, kitchen-friendly tag. It smells of Christmas even though it is only paper, and it suits a homemade present, a food gift, or a parcel wrapped in brown paper perfectly.
The cream background means it prints beautifully even on plain copy paper, with no heavy ink use. Tie it on with twine and tuck a real dried orange slice under the knot if you have one.
Tip: Use this tag on food gifts — jams, chutneys, biscuits, anything homemade — it tells the recipient the present inside is homemade too.

7. Wood Bead Garland
A gentle swag of wooden beads on a neutral linen background, with a quiet ‘Season’s Greetings’ underneath — this is the calmest tag in the set, and the one for presents that are already busy with patterned paper. It adds Christmas without adding noise.
Because the background is pale, this tag is very forgiving on ink: it prints well on any home printer, even one running low. Tie it on with natural twine or a thin cream ribbon.
Tip: This is the tag to use on presents wrapped in patterned paper — it calms the parcel down instead of competing with it.

8. Eucalyptus Sprig
Soft green eucalyptus sprigs on cream, with a small ‘Happy Holidays’ underneath — this is the modern tag in the set. No baubles, no glitter, just the quiet shape of fresh greenery.
It suits minimalist wrapping perfectly — white paper, kraft paper, or plain grey. Tie it on with a thin sage-green ribbon, or tuck a real eucalyptus sprig under the knot.
Tip: Use this tag on presents for the person who likes everything calm and uncluttered — it is the least Christmassy tag in the set, in the best way.

9. Red Truck & Tree
A vintage red truck carrying a little green tree, with ‘Season’s Greetings’ in script underneath — this is the cheerful tag, and the one children love most. It is nostalgic without being old-fashioned, and the red pops on any parcel.
Print it on bright white paper so the red stays vivid, and tie it on with red ribbon or twine. It looks wonderful on a present wrapped in brown paper or white paper.
Tip: Use this tag on the children’s presents — the truck is the giveaway, and they will spot their parcels across the room.

10. Minimalist Black & White
A black pine tree and a black star on plain white, with ‘Happy Holidays’ in plain black type — this is the sharpest tag in the set. No colour at all, just the quiet shape of a tree and a thin black frame.
It prints beautifully on any printer, even a black-and-white one, and uses almost no ink. Tie it on with black ribbon, white ribbon, or plain twine — all three work.
Tip: This is the tag for black-and-white wrapping, obviously — but it also looks striking on a red parcel, where the black and white cuts through the colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I print these Christmas gift tags?
Click the download button under any design, open the PDF, and print it on US Letter paper at 100% scale (not ‘fit to page’). Each sheet prints six tags. Cut along the dashed lines, punch a hole where marked, and thread twine or ribbon through.
What size are the gift tags?
Each tag is about 2.4 × 4.8 inches once cut out, and every sheet is US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches), print-ready at 300 DPI. They fit a standard hole punch, and the To and From lines are already ruled in.
Can I print these for free?
Yes — every design in this article is completely free, with no email sign-up and no watermark. Download as many as you like, for your own presents. Please do not resell the files or claim them as your own work.
What paper works best for gift tags?
Card is best — it holds its shape when tied on and does not flop over. If you only have plain copy paper, print the tags and glue each one onto a piece of card before cutting out; it takes two minutes and makes a real difference.
Can I use these gift tags for a classroom or office party?
Yes — you are welcome to print them for a classroom, an office, or any non-commercial use. For anything commercial, please get in touch first.
