Hang Hole Packaging & Bags: The Ultimate Guide

When it comes to standing out in retail, every inch of your packaging design matters. Hang hole bags are one of the simplest yet most effective ways to boost visibility and improve merchandising flexibility.

Whether you’re selling snacks, supplements, or small household goods, hang hole packaging makes your product easier to display and more likely to catch a customer’s eye.

What Is Hang Hole Packaging?

Hang hole packaging is flexible packaging designed with a small hole punched near the top seam. This feature allows products to be hung on hooks, pegboards, or clip strips instead of competing for crowded shelf space.

At ePac, hang hole bags are often paired with resealable zippers and high-barrier films so your product stays fresh while gaining more display options.

Type of Hang Holes

Simple circle cut, best for lightweight items like spices, single-serve snacks, or samples.

A circle with a reinforced arch, stronger for heavier products.

Hang Hole Packaging: Who Uses It and How to Design It Right

Hang hole bags are popular across industries:

Key design considerations

  • Weight – Use reinforced materials or a sombrero-style hole for heavier products
  • Usability – Add zippers, tear notches, or reseals to improve customer experience
  • Design – Place logos and key text away from the hang hole punch to avoid cut-offs
  • Retail Requirements: Some retailers may prefer a certain hang hole style, so check display guidelines.
