Header card packaging finishes a bag or pouch with a folded card across the top. It gives an otherwise plain pack a branded face, a hang hole for peg display and a clean sealed edge. It is a low-cost way to make loose or bagged products shelf-ready without moving to a full box. It is a quick, economical way to make a bagged product shelf-ready without the cost or bulk of a full carton.
Matching card to bag
The card should span the full width of the bag so the pack looks finished and hangs straight. Made to your custom size in cardboard, the header can be dimensioned to your bag and folded so it clamps the top neatly, with the hang hole placed for a level hang.
Print and finishing
- Card width matched to the bag
- Fold and seal line planned to sit flat
- Front and reverse print for branding and information
Because the header is what the shopper sees first, both sides earn their print. Order a sample folded over your actual bag to confirm the fit and hang before ordering. Because the header is stapled or folded over the bag, plan a little bleed at the top edge so the print runs cleanly to the crease.
