In short
Header cards are printed cards that fold over the top of a clear bag and are stapled or sealed in place, turning a bagged product into a branded pack that hangs on a peg hook. Box Sense makes them from 10 cards, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our header cards
For small, light products, a bag with a header card is the cheapest retail-ready pack there is. The customer sees the product through the bag, the card carries the brand, barcode and hang hole, and the whole pack costs a fraction of a box. Candy, crafts, hardware, toys and accessories all use them.
We print header cards to your bag width, with the right hang hole and fold, in one color to full color, from 10 cards.
Header card options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SBS card, 14 to 18 pt | Most header cards | Stiff, with bright print |
| Kraft board | Natural looks | Brown fiber; dark or white ink |
| Laminated card | Durability | Resists handling on peg walls |
What affects the price of header cards
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Size. Wider and taller cards use more board.
- Board. Thicker board hangs better and costs a little more.
- Print. Full color on both sides costs more than one side.
- Quantity. Cards are small, so unit prices drop quickly at volume.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
What to send us
- Bag width, so the card matches
- Product weight, to choose the board
- Hang hole type your retailer uses

What the card should say
The front carries the brand and product name; the back has room for the barcode, instructions, contents and country of origin. If the product is for children, safety warnings may be required.
