Frequently Asked Questions

What is a header card?

The printed board at the top of a bagged or carded product — it carries your branding and the hang hole that puts the product on a retail peg.

What hang hole styles are available?

Standard round holes and sombrero (delta) holes that fit any retail peg, plus custom die-cut shapes for distinctive packaging.

What board weight should I use?

12–14 pt suits light products; heavier items or wide bags call for 18–24 pt so the header doesn't curl on the peg. We'll recommend based on your product weight.

Can headers be printed on both sides?

Yes — full-color both sides is standard, so the back can carry instructions, ingredients, or compliance copy.

Do you handle custom shapes?

Yes — custom dies for shaped headers, scoring for fold-over headers that staple across bags, and perforations for tear-away coupons.
