If your living room floor isn't already covered in wrapping paper and tape, consider this your gentle nudge to get started. 😉 One of the easiest ways to make those packages feel extra special is with free printable Christmas gift tags. They instantly dress up even the simplest wrapping paper and save you from running out to the store at the last minute.
I've pulled together a big collection of printable tags for every kind of gift - colorful designs that match my Christmas Countdown, fun candy cane tags perfect for classroom gifts, editable Santa labels for "North Pole deliveries," and even gift tags made just for baked goods (think homemade fudge or my creamy frosted cinnamon rolls wrapped up for the neighbors).
Whether you're working through a stack of teacher gifts, prepping treats from your holiday baking list, or just want pretty tags that match your holiday thank you notes, you'll find something here to make wrapping easier - and way more fun!
How to Print Your Free Printable Christmas Gift Tags
All of the files below are in PDF format, which should open in your internet browser with no problem. Just click the printer icon when the file loads, and you'll be ready to go.
For the best results:
- Paper: Use heavy white cardstock (around 100-110 lb). It keeps the tags sturdy so they won't bend or look flimsy.
- Printer settings: Choose "Actual Size" or "100%" instead of "Fit to Page" to keep the tags from shrinking.
- Cutting: A straight-edge paper trimmer makes clean lines fast. Scissors work too - just follow the borders.
- Punching holes: For larger tags, a simple hole punch makes it easy to add ribbon or twine.
- Attaching: Curling ribbon, baker's twine, or even tulle gift bows work beautifully.
Want the easiest option? Print the tags on full-sheet sticker paper (sold at most office supply stores) and cut them out - instant peel-and-stick labels with no ribbon required.
💡 Pro Printing Tips
- If colors look dull, switch your printer to "Best" or "Photo" quality.
- For black-and-white tags, use plain white paper for a clean, modern look.
- Printing a big batch? Save time by cutting with a rotary trimmer or paper cutter.

FAQs
Troubleshooting
Even with the best printers, little hiccups happen. Here are quick fixes for the most common issues:
- "My tags printed too small / too big."
Make sure your printer settings are set to "Actual Size" or 100%, not "Fit to Page." - "The colors look dull or faded."
Switch your printer to Best Quality or Photo mode. If you're low on ink, replace the cartridge before printing a big batch. - "The edges of my tags are getting cut off."
Uncheck any "Scale to Fit" or "Shrink to Fit" settings. Always preview before you print. - "The black ink is smudging."
Use heavy cardstock (100-110 lb). Thin paper can cause ink to bleed. - "My tags won't line up on sticker paper."
Use full-sheet sticker paper (not pre-cut labels), then cut after printing. This avoids alignment headaches.
✨ Pro tip: If you're mass-printing for classrooms or neighbors, print a single test page first to make sure everything looks right.
