Header Cards Turn a Plain Bag Into Retail-Ready Packaging
Header Cards give bagged and poly-wrapped products a branded billboard right at the point of sale. A printed card folds over the top of a cellophane bag and carries your logo, your product name, and the finishing touch that earns a spot on the shelf, all without the cost of custom packaging. 4OVER4.COM has printed more than 10 billion cards across 1,000+ product types, so these small pieces get plenty of practice.
Picture two identical products hanging side by side. One wears a crisp, full-color header card. The other is a bag with a sticker slapped on it. The card is what makes a shopper reach out. It's often your first impression and, on a busy aisle, your only shot at attention.
Who Reaches for Header Cards
Retailers, online sellers, craft vendors, and wholesale distributors all lean on Header Cards to present products like a real brand. They show up on hair accessories, craft supplies, fishing lures, candy, and handmade jewelry, anywhere an item hangs on a peg hook or sits in a poly sleeve.
If you sell in cello bags, the header card is the piece that separates a homemade look from a professional one. Small skincare makers, bead-kit sellers, and jewelry lines use them to make farmers market tables and retail displays look store-bought.
Beyond the Peg Hook
Header Cards aren't only for retail racks. Event planners use them to top favor bags, nonprofits attach them to donation bundles, and teachers clip them onto prize bags. Anywhere you want to tie a bagged item to a bigger theme, a matching card pulls the whole presentation together.
Match the Stock to Your Brand
The right material matters more than you'd guess. Too flimsy and the card curls on the hook. Too rigid and it won't fold cleanly over a bag. Header Cards print on 60+ paper stocks, so you can land on the sweet spot for your product, from sturdy uncoated cardstock with a natural, handmade feel to gloss cover that makes color sing.
Thicker weights hold their shape in demanding retail spots, while lighter stocks keep the per-piece cost down for promotional runs. Print one side or both, so your branding faces front and the barcode, care details, or product info sit on the back.

Header Cards FAQ
What sizes do Header Cards come in?
Header Cards come in multiple standard sizes to fit common poly bag widths, from narrow cards for small accessory bags to wider formats for retail merchandise. Check the product page for the exact dimensions available for your run.
What paper stocks can I choose for Header Cards?
You can pick from 60+ paper types, including glossy, matte, uncoated, and textured stocks. Thicker weights like 14pt and 16pt give a rigid, premium feel, while lighter stocks keep costs down on high-volume runs.
How fast can I get Header Cards printed?
Standard production takes a few business days, with rush options available when you're on a deadline. With 82% of orders shipping early, you'll often get yours ahead of schedule.
Can I print Header Cards on both sides?
Yes. Double-sided printing puts branding on the front and product details, barcodes, or care instructions on the back. It's a smart choice for retail-ready packaging where shoppers flip the card over for information.
Is there a minimum order for Header Cards?
Minimum order quantities vary by size and stock combination, and both short runs for small businesses and bulk orders for large retailers are supported. Check the product page for the current minimum on your selected options.
How should I set up my artwork, and can I get a proof?
Set files to CMYK color mode at 300 DPI with 1/8" bleed on all sides, and keep your logo and key info at least 1/8" inside the trim edge. A digital proof is provided so you can review the design before it goes to press.
What customers are saying
Verified feedback from real 4OVER4 buyers.
“The color across the retail header cards was consistent from the first sheet to the last of 1,000, which retailers noticed.”
“Thick, glossy header cards that make my snack packaging look shelf-ready, and the scoring line folded without a single crack.”
“Good quality and quick shipping. I wish the hang-hole placement guide had been more prominent in the template, but the result was still spot-on.”
