Custom Poly Bags / Header Bags
Custom header bags for hang-display packaging and product information projects.
A header bag separates a top information area from the packaged item below. Begin with how the product will be displayed, its packed size and weight, the information or branding that needs attention at the top, and any opening or handling questions.
Project inputs
Connect the display plan to the product information plan.
For a hang-display project, the product profile, display hardware and visible information all matter. A product image, current package or simple outline of the retail environment gives the enquiry a much stronger starting point than a request for a generic bag style.
Display environment
Describe how the product is expected to be hung, seen or accessed in its intended display setting.
Product profile
Share the product dimensions, approximate packed weight and how it sits within the bag.
Header information
Explain the brand, product information or visual hierarchy that needs consideration in the top area.
Format context
Header-bag projects should consider the product and the display moment together.
Small accessories, hardware, craft items and consumer products are examples of merchandise that may prompt a header-bag enquiry. The purpose is to discuss how the product will be presented, not to assume a particular material, reinforcement or closure without reviewing the project requirements.
- Product image, approximate packed size and product shape
- How and where the product will be displayed
- Display hardware or hanging reference if known
- Information, artwork or visual hierarchy for the top area
- Opening, closure or customer-handling questions
- Market, estimated quantity and timing

Header Bag FAQ
Questions specific to custom header bags
What is a header bag?
It is a bag format with a distinct top area that can be considered for product information, branding and hang-display presentation.
What should I send for a header bag project?
Share the product image or dimensions, display environment, how the item will be hung or handled, the information planned for the top area, market, quantity and timing.
Why does the display environment matter?
Display hardware, product weight, product shape and customer access can all influence which questions need to be reviewed for a hang-display packaging format.
Can the header area be discussed before final artwork is ready?
Yes. Explain the information hierarchy and the desired presentation, then provide draft artwork or a visual reference if available. Final artwork can be refined within the project process.
Buyer decision guide
Plan the product display and the header information together.
Header bags bring a product, a display moment and a top information area into one visible package. The first brief should make all three clear and avoid assuming a particular hang-hole, reinforcement or closure before the project requirements are reviewed.
| Decision variable | Why it matters | Useful input |
|---|---|---|
| Product display profile | Product shape, packed weight and the way it sits in the bag affect the questions to review. | Product image, approximate dimensions and a simple product outline. |
| Display setting | A peg, hook or other display environment changes the way the package is seen and accessed. | Photos of the display environment or a description of the retail fixture. |
| Header information | The top area needs a clear hierarchy for product identity, instructions or other communication. | Artwork, information hierarchy and any existing package reference. |
| Customer interaction | Opening, selection and handling can be relevant to the final package experience. | How the customer sees, removes or handles the finished pack. |
Three practical starting points
- 01 / Show the display.
A photo of the peg, hook or fixture can be more useful than a generic description of “retail”. - 02 / Start with information hierarchy.
List the product and brand information that needs consideration before focusing on visual decoration. - 03 / Keep the product profile visible.
The package should be discussed around the real product dimensions and customer interaction.
Use a current product package or even a simple display photo to start the conversation. It provides a concrete reference while leaving the final format, materials and technical details open for project review.
