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 Wisconsin's Food and Innovation Economy
Wisconsin is 'America's Dairyland' — the country's leading cheese producer and a state with one of America's deepest food cultures. But Wisconsin is also a significant manufacturing and growing technology state, with Madison's university town startup culture, Milwaukee's manufacturing revival, and a craft beer scene that has earned national recognition. The breadth of Wisconsin's economy creates demand for packaging across food, industrial, and premium consumer categories.
Wisconsin Cheese and Dairy Packaging
Wisconsin produces more cheese than any other state — over 3 billion pounds annually — and the state's artisan cheese producers, specialty dairy brands, and cooperative dairy companies require food-safe packaging that communicates Wisconsin's dairy heritage authentically.
