Description
What Are Custom Header Cards?
Custom header cards are folded paperboard toppers attached to poly bags to seal products, display branding, and provide hanging support. They offer space for product info, barcodes, pricing, and designs while allowing the product inside the bag to remain fully visible.
Why Do Brands Choose Header Cards Today?
Retail shelves are crowded, and customers make decisions fast. Header cards help your product stand out with:
- Clear top-of-pack branding
- Extra space for instructions or ingredients
- A professional retail-ready look
- Strong hang support for pegboards & hooks
- Low-cost, high-visibility packaging
Why Custom Header Cards Increase Retail Sales
Custom header cards are one of the highest-converting packaging add-ons in retail environments because:
- They elevate brand visibility
- They allow your designs and product benefits to sit at eye-level
- They eliminate loose or open bags
- They help organize and categorize products on store hooks
- They improve perceived product value instantly
At Urgent Custom Boxes, we combine strong materials, precision scoring, and advanced printing to deliver retail-ready toppers that improve your product presence the moment they hit the rack.
