Information on tag designs and notation examples
What is a standing sign?
A "tatefuda" (signage tag) is, as the name implies, a tag placed within a stand flower arrangement.
These tags display the "purpose of the gift," the "recipient's name," and the "sender's name."
In short, they serve the important role of indicating who the stand flowers are from, who they are for, and for what occasion.
The presence of a tag allows the celebratory sentiment and the occasion to be understood at a glance, helping to create a festive atmosphere.
They are used in a wide variety of settings, ranging from corporate congratulatory gifts to personal gifts sent to artists or businesses.
Etiquette to keep in mind when attaching a placard.
When attaching a tag to a stand flower arrangement, there are some important points to keep in mind to avoid being impolite to the recipient.
The most important things are to show respect to the recipient and to ensure the tag is easy to read and view.
Here, we introduce the basic manners for creating a tag in an easy-to-understand way.
1. Always use "honorifics" for the recipient
A tag indicates "who it is for and who it is from."
When doing so, be sure to add honorifics such as "Sama" (for individuals) or "Onchu" (for companies) to the recipient's name.
[Examples]
・For an individual → "Mr./Ms. 〇〇"
・For a company → "〇〇 Co., Ltd."
Honorifics are generally not necessary for the sender (you).
Using "〇〇 Co., Ltd." or "All of us at 〇〇" is perfectly fine.
2. Use the "official name" for the sender (you)
It is standard practice to use the official full name for company or group names rather than abbreviations.
Especially in business settings, including the correct company name, department, and job title creates a professional impression.
[Examples]
・〇〇 Co., Ltd.
・〇〇 Co., Ltd., Sales Department
・All fans of 〇〇
・All supporting members of 〇〇
3. Choose the "type" and "design" of the tag
At HANA GARDEN TOKYO, we offer several types of tags free of charge.
We will attach the most appropriate tag for your intended use and the type of flower gift.
[If no specific request is made]
・Stand flowers → Wood-grain style tag
This design reproduces the texture of real wood, giving it an elegant and high-class feel.
・Arrangements/Phalaenopsis orchids → Paper card tag
A compact and simple card style. These can also be used as message cards.
*We also offer other types of tags*
・Wooden tag: An authentic tag made of natural wood. Ideal for formal gifts.
Original design tag: We can also create tags featuring company logos or original characters.
These are popular for special events and corporate gifts.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests.
We are flexible and can accommodate original tag designs!
4. How to choose between vertical and horizontal writing
Tags can be written either vertically or horizontally, and there is no strict rule that one must be used over the other for celebratory occasions.
Please choose the format that best suits the occasion.
[Tips for choosing]
・Japanese style/Traditional image → Vertical writing
・English names/Casual impression → Horizontal writing
・Some theaters or live music venues may require horizontal writing
[For condolence flowers]
Vertical writing is standard for funeral stand flowers, but some venues may specify "horizontal writing."
It is safe to check the rules or customs in advance.
5. Be careful with the words you use
In situations where auspiciousness is valued, avoid using ominous expressions or words with a negative connotation.
[NG examples]
・"Collapse," "scatter," "wither," "end"
[Recommended expressions]
・"Prosperity," "development," "great strides," "success"
It is important to choose expressions that will make the recipient feel at ease and happy.
Regarding the confirmation and revision of the sign design
Please provide the details to be written on the standing tag, such as the greeting (e.g., "Congratulations"), the recipient's name, the name of the performance, and the sender's name.
Based on the information you provide, we will create a design for the standing tag and send you a proof for confirmation before production.
・The first design revision is free of charge.
・A revision fee of 550 yen (tax included) will be charged for each subsequent revision.
・All revisions requested within a single communication will be counted as one revision.
・If we do not receive a response within 48 hours of sending the proof, the design will be considered finalized and we will proceed with production.
・If the delivery date is approaching, please respond by the deadline specified by us at the time of confirmation. If no response is received by the deadline, the design will be considered finalized and we will proceed with production.
・If you wish to change the design or the written content after the standing tag has been produced, a reproduction fee of 1,100 yen (tax included) will be charged.
・As photos of the completed floral stand are sent after the standing tag is produced, any changes to the tag requested after viewing the photo will also be subject to the reproduction fee.
*Revisions necessitated by typos or production errors on our part do not count toward the number of revisions.
*Please be sure to check for any errors in the greeting, recipient's name, performance name, sender's name, etc., when you receive the proof.
*The above rules apply when we create the standing tag design. If you provide your own completed design file, we will, in principle, proceed with production using the file as submitted.
