Question

What size header card fits my product bag?

Answer

Choosing the right header card starts with the bag it will top and the product it has to sell, so measure first and match the stock to your brand.

  • Match the width: Measure your poly bag width and add about 1/8 inch so the card covers the opening.
  • Set the height by content: Taller cards fit more copy and better support heavier products.
  • Weigh the product: Heavier items need a taller, sturdier card to hold shape on the peg.
  • Pick a stock weight: Thicker cardstock reads as premium, while standard weight suits everyday retail.
  • Choose a finish: Lamination or specialty coatings add durability and a higher-end feel.

Balance size, weight, and finish against your product's price point so the card feels right in a shopper's hand.
