Hang Tabs, an innovative accessory

Product fastening/hanging accessories, also known as Hang Tabs, innovative accessories or Do-its, are widely used in the packaging industry.

What is a Hang Tab?

This accessory consists of a thin sheet of plastic (recyclable PET), with a self-adhesive layer on the inside that is used to attach it to the product.

The Hang Tabs hanging accessories provide an innovative solution for plastic packaging and guarantee the optimal long-term solution for products you want to display vertically. This product display method effectively encourages sales by improving visibility without interfering with the information on the packaging. As product visibility increases, so does brand awareness!

Even if your product range includes items that require stronger support, Inatech Packaging provides several types of reinforced hangers. An additional layer of plastic provides greater strength, as paper packaging can often be bent or torn.

Another advantage of this accessory is its availability in various sizes and shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of products.

Hang Tabs are highly practical when it comes to transport. Your products can be shipped exactly as they are intended to be displayed in the store. This also helps you save on transport packaging costs.

With this type of accessory, you do not have to worry about product safety. Both the product and its packaging are protected by the self-adhesive strip and the highly durable material.

The product can also be selected very easily, regardless of whether it is positioned at the front or back, both by shoppers and when replacing it with other products, thus saving time.

Advantages:

For the manufacturer:

Some markets or customers may require holes in different shapes. Manufacturers cannot design three types of packaging, so it is much more useful to use different accessories depending on the type of packaging used.

Incorporating a hanging hole and a flap into your packaging can be very costly and may extend the production line.

A manufacturer may design a product for shelf display while also having a specific customer, retailer or distributor that requires hanging capability. To avoid losing the customer, the manufacturer can apply the most suitable hanging accessory to that production batch.

Hang Tabs are specially designed for this type of customer, so they can be incorporated into the automation process.

For the retailer:

Some products may be suitable for hanging, but not on the side or in the orientation desired by the retailer. For example, a rectangular box may be designed for horizontal display, while the retailer wants to save space by displaying it vertically. Retailers can therefore save space, and products are displayed more effectively when hung on hooks. If the product was not designed for this purpose, Hang Tabs are the solution.

Retailers return or discard products every day because of damaged packaging. Using Hang Tabs can prevent thousands of such problems, allowing products that would otherwise no longer be sold in these conditions to be recovered. These hanging accessories can be easily replaced when damaged.

For the distributor:

An important role for distributors is to position themselves between supermarkets and manufacturers. To ensure this, the products they distribute must meet the display requirements imposed by retailers. Supermarkets generally require specific packaging or, at a minimum, products that can be hung. By using these hanging accessories, distributors can ensure that their products will be displayed in stores.

For the printer:

By designing packaging as simply as possible and adding the necessary accessories for placing or hanging it at the end, printers save both time and money.

Products can be presented very easily when optimal solutions are available. That is why Hang Tabs are effective, cost-efficient and easy to apply.
