About Custom Header Card Boxes
Header cards: retail peg display for bagged product
Header cards are how bagged product (candy, seeds, nuts, hardware, hair accessories) reaches the retail peg wall — a small printed SBS card at the top of the poly bag, die-cut with a Euro slot for the peg hook. It's the cheapest retail-packaging format ($0.35-$0.75 per card at 500), and the card carries the brand block, product name, weight, ingredients, UPC barcode, and any regulatory callouts. We print low-MOQ from 100 cards so indie brands can test a retail peg SKU without a full carton commitment.
Attachment: staple, glue, or fold-over
Staple-attach (cheapest, most common): header card stapled through the poly bag top — one-pass mechanical attach. Glue-attach (cleaner, quieter): heat-set glue applied to card back, pressed onto bag top. Fold-over (no staples, no glue): larger card folded over the bag top and sealed with tape or a die-cut lock. 14-18pt SBS is the standard body; add matte or gloss lamination for durability under retail handling.

For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Header cards are the cheapest retail-peg format — a small printed SBS card (usually 55-100mm wide × 60-120mm tall) attached to the top of a poly bag or soft-goods package via staple, glue, or fold-over. Standard build is 14-18pt SBS with 4-color print, die-cut Euro slot at top, and printed UPC/EAN barcode. Add spot UV on brand mark, matte or gloss lamination for durability, or a printed hang-tab reinforcement for heavier bagged products. Kraft is common for the natural/organic positioning.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
