Retail blister packs, polybag header cards, and adhesive hang tabs rely on the standardized DIN EN 13010 'Sombrero' Euro-Slot cutout (32.0mm overall width × 10.0mm total height with a 12.0mm center single-rod dome) so products hang straight on both single-wire and double-prong European and North American retail pegboard hooks. Our parametric generator creates a corner-filleted header card with a precision centered Euro-slot cutout, a horizontal top/bottom fold crease, and a bleed/safe-artwork zone in 1:1 .DXF, .SVG, and .PDF.

Mathematical Blank & Tolerance Formulas
Official European retail pegboard hanger cutout dimensions compatible with both single-prong center hooks and double-wire euro hooks.
Maintains at least 8–9mm of solid cardstock or PET plastic above the center sombrero dome so heavy retail pouches do not tear off the peg hook.
Step-by-Step Export & Assembly Guide
- 1 Enter Header Card Width (L), Total Unfolded Card Height (W), and Folded Flap Depth (H).
- 2 Inspect the 1:1 dieline in the 2D blueprint view showing the corner-rounded outer cut contour, centered DIN EN 13010 Sombrero Euro-slot, horizontal fold crease, and green artwork safe zone.
- 3 Verify the folded header card in the 3D Fold Preview tab.
- 4 Export as 1:1 .PDF or .SVG to place your retail packaging artwork inside the green safe zone, or export .DXF for die-making.

Frequently Asked Questions — Euro-Slot Retail Header Card
What are the exact standard dimensions of a retail Euro-slot hole?
Under DIN EN 13010, a standard retail Euro-slot (also called a Sombrero hole) is 32mm wide at the horizontal slot base (6mm high) with a 12mm wide rounded center dome rising to 10mm total height.
Can I make a double-sided fold-over polybag header card with this generator?
Yes! Set Total Unfolded Card Height (W) to twice your desired finished header height (e.g., W = 100mm) and set Fold Header Depth (H) to half (e.g., H = 50mm). Fold the card in half over the top of your polybag and heat-seal or staple it shut.
Why are the four outer corners rounded?
Rounding the outer corners with a 6mm radius prevents sharp cardstock corners from dog-earing or catching on adjacent packages during retail shelf stocking.
Is the Euro-slot exported as a single closed vector path?
Yes, the entire sombrero Euro-slot contour is exported as a single 100% closed LWPOLYLINE on the CUT layer.
