Key Features
Custom Hanging Tab Boxes — Pegboard and Hook Display Packaging for Retail
Hanging tab boxes combine the functional packaging of a folding carton with an integrated die-cut hanging tab that allows the package to be displayed on retail pegboards, slatwall hooks, and J-hooks without additional header cards or display hardware. The integrated approach eliminates the complexity and cost of attaching separate hang tags while maintaining the full packaging functionality of a standard folding carton.
The hanging tab is die-cut from an extended top panel of the carton and reinforced with an eyelet or by doubling the panel thickness. This reinforcement is critical — the tab must support the full weight of the packaged product through its retail display life, which may be weeks or months.
Hanging Tab Reinforcement Methods
The hanging tab must support the weight of the packaged product through its entire retail display period. We reinforce hanging tabs using three methods depending on load requirements: eyelet reinforcement (a metal or plastic grommet inserted through the tab hole, distributing load around the perimeter of the hole), laminated double-panel (two layers of board laminated at the tab area, doubling material thickness), and extended flap tuck (an extended panel folds back over the tab area, creating triple-thickness reinforcement at the hole).
Retail Display Strategy for Hanging Packages
Hanging retail display positions products at eye level or slightly above, creating a different browsing dynamic than shelf display. Consumers scanning a pegboard display see the front face of each package from a straight-on viewing angle, making front panel design critical. The top portion of the front panel — visible above any surrounding packages — carries the brand identity. The lower portion communicates product benefits and purchase motivation.
Custom Packaging for Maine's Premium Brands
Maine has built one of America's most powerful state-of-origin brand premiums — 'Made in Maine' commands significant price premiums for lobster, blueberries, maple syrup, craft beer, and artisan goods in national markets. Packaging that authentically communicates Maine provenance is not just a nice-to-have for Maine brands — it is a core component of their pricing strategy. Branded Boxes produces packaging that makes Maine's origin premium visible and credible.
Maine Lobster and Seafood Packaging
Maine lobster is arguably the most recognized seafood product in the United States, commanding premium prices in specialty retail, high-end restaurants, and direct-to-consumer markets nationally. Packaging for Maine lobster and seafood brands must communicate the state's pristine ocean environment, sustainable harvesting practices, and authentic Maine heritage. We produce seafood brand packaging for Maine fisheries competing in premium national and international markets.
Portland's Artisan Food and Craft Scene
Portland, Maine has emerged as one of America's great food cities — its concentration of James Beard award-winning chefs, artisan food producers, and craft breweries creates demand for premium packaging that matches the culinary quality of the products. We produce premium food packaging for Portland's artisan brands with kraft materials, natural aesthetics, and the premium finishes appropriate for specialty food retail.
Maine Tourism and Artisan Gift Packaging
Maine's tourism industry drives significant demand for gift packaging — the state's artisan crafts, specialty foods, and branded merchandise require premium packaging that communicates Maine's natural beauty and craft quality to visitors and gift recipients across the country.
