Hang Hole
Optimize your retail presentation with our precision-cut Hang Holes. Designed for standard pegboards and point-of-purchase displays, this essential feature lifts your product off the shelf and places it directly at eye level, significantly increasing visibility and impulse buys. We offer both standard Round Holes for lightweight simplicity and Euro Holes (Sombrero style) for a premium, heavy-duty display. Reinforced to prevent tearing, our hang holes ensure your packaging stays securely suspended, keeping your brand front and center in any retail environment.
Select the perfect hanging solution to match your retail display requirements and product weight:
1. Euro Hole (Sombrero Style) The Premium Standard. A distinctive, hat-shaped hole designed for heavy-duty applications. It distributes weight evenly to prevent tearing and fits widely used double-prong European retail hooks, giving your product a sophisticated, high-end look.
2. Round Hole The Classic Choice. A simple, circular cut-out ideal for lightweight pouches and standard single-peg displays. It offers a clean, minimalist appearance and is the most cost-effective option for general retail packaging.
3. Butterfly / Aircraft Hole Enhanced Stability. Featuring a wider, wing-like shape, this style provides superior balance for wider pouches. It minimizes tilting on the shelf and is often used for larger or irregularly shaped bags that require extra support to hang straight.
Selecting the ideal hang hole configuration is vital for maximizing retail shelf impact and ensuring product safety. For lightweight items and standard single-hook displays, the classic Round Hole offers a simple, minimalist solution that is cost-effective and functional. However, for heavier products or premium retail environments using wide or double-prong fixtures, we recommend the Euro Hole (Sombrero Style). This distinctive shape not only adds a professional, high-end aesthetic to your packaging but also distributes weight more evenly to prevent tearing, ensuring your brand hangs securely and looks pristine on the shelf.
Have questions about our custom hang hole bags? We’ve got answers. Find our most common questions on product-safe materials, freshness protection, child-friendly features, and the custom options that will make your brand the top choice for parents.
Does the hang hole affect the airtight seal of the pouch?
No, the hang hole is precision-cut into the top header of the bag, located strictly above the zipper mechanism and the heat-seal line. This ensures that the storage compartment remains completely airtight and hermetically sealed, protecting your product’s freshness without compromise.
Which hang hole style is best for heavier products?
For heavier items or larger volume bags, we recommend the Euro Hole (Sombrero Style). Its unique shape distributes the weight of the package more evenly across the hanging point, reducing stress on the film and minimizing the risk of tearing compared to a standard round hole.
Are the hang holes reinforced to prevent tearing on retail shelves?
Yes. Our pouches are manufactured using high-strength, multi-layer laminated films (such as PET/AL/PE). This structural integrity ensures that the header area is durable and tear-resistant, allowing the bag to hang securely on display hooks even when handled frequently by customers.
Can I still heat seal the bag if it has a hang hole?
Absolutely. The hang hole is positioned in the extra header space at the very top of the pouch. You can apply a heat seal directly below the hang hole but above the zipper. This creates a tamper-evident closure while leaving the hang hole accessible for retail display.
Is the Round Hole compatible with all retail hooks?
The standard Round Hole is designed to fit most standard single-peg display hooks commonly found in supermarkets and convenience stores. If your retailers use double-prong hooks or wide European-style fixtures, the Euro Hole would be the compatible choice.
Does adding a hang hole reduce the filling capacity of the bag?
No, the filling capacity remains the same. The hang hole is placed in an extended top header (extra material added to the top of the bag). The internal volume available for your product starts below the zipper line, so the display feature does not encroach on your storage space.
