Comprehensive Guide & Technical Breakdown

Retail merchandise displayed on hanging peg hooks requires hang tabs or euro slots integrated into the carton header:

### Common Hang Tab Styles:
1. Euro Slot (Sombrero Slot): Features a wide, curved central notch that fits both single-prong and double-prong retail peg hooks. The global standard for supermarkets and high-street retailers.
2. Delta / Triangle Slot: Inverted triangular cutout for standard single-wire display hooks.
3. Round Hole (6mm–8mm): Simple circular cutout for lightweight accessories.

### Manufacturing Methods:

  • Integrated Die-Cut Header: The back panel of the folding carton extends upward and includes the stamped slot as part of the continuous card.

  • Self-Adhesive Plastic Hang Tabs: Clear PET tabs applied to the top of standard boxes for aftermarket hanging.
