Lip and Tape Header Bags with External Adhesive

Choose this combination when you need both hanging retail presentation and reduced contact between your merchandise and the sealing strip. It is useful for small, lightweight products such as stationery, craft supplies, accessories, and items packaged with paper inserts.

The header provides the hanging feature, while external adhesive placement addresses how the contents move through the opening. If your packaging does not require both features, explore the broader lip and tape bag selection.

External adhesive describes the location of the sealing strip, not how many times the closure can be used. Its placement helps keep contents from catching on exposed adhesive during loading or removal.

If your process requires reopening a package to adjust an insert, inspect merchandise, or replace a component, confirm resealability for the selected item. Do not assume that external adhesive also means a permanent or tamper-evident closure.

Measure the complete assembly as it will be packed, including backing cards, folded instructions, and any additional components. Product thickness takes up space inside a flat bag, so matching only the product's face dimensions can result in a fit that is too tight.

• Confirm usable space: Check whether the listed length includes or excludes the header and closure flap.
• Allow comfortable loading: Contents should slide through the opening without forcing or stretching the film.
• Leave room to close: Keep product edges and inserts clear of the area needed for the flap to seal flat.
• Check the finished appearance: Make sure the product remains visible and the package does not bunch or distort when hanging.

Start with the sizing guide above, then confirm the selected product's dimensions and test the complete package where possible.

Check that the hanging opening fits your hook or peg, including its diameter and shape. Allow enough space between neighboring packages for shoppers to see the merchandise and remove a bag comfortably.

Test with the actual contents, not an empty bag. Look for strain around the header, leaning caused by uneven contents, or interference from labels. The listed 1.6 mil thickness describes the film; it does not establish a hanging weight capacity.

Keep labels and inserts clear of the hanging opening. If you use barcodes, check that they remain readable and scan reliably in the finished package.

1. Assemble the merchandise and inserts before loading so each package contains the correct components.
2. Insert the contents carefully, keeping sharp corners and paper edges from catching on the film.
3. Keep the sealing area clean and unobstructed, then remove the adhesive liner and close according to the item's instructions.
4. Check that the closure lies flat and that labels do not cover the product or hanging opening.
5. Hang a completed package on the intended fixture before packing the remaining batch.

Once you establish a good fit, keep a finished example with your packing instructions so staff can repeat the same arrangement. For shipped orders, use suitable outer packaging and cushioning where needed.

The listed bags are supplied in packs of 100. For example, a run of 500 packages requires five packs before allowing for setup, testing, or additional production needs.

Compare the quantity pricing for your selected size against your expected usage and replenishment schedule. Check the pack price and total bag count together so you are comparing the actual cost per bag.

Save the item number after confirming fit. This makes repeat orders easier and helps avoid mixing similar dimensions across packaging runs.

Use the sample request option on the product page where available, or ask our team about sampling the size you are considering. Test loading, sealing, product removal, and hanging presentation with your actual merchandise.
