Hanging Tab Box

Custom Hanging Tab Boxes Wholesale with a Peg Hole for Retail Hooks and Pegs

What a hanging tab box is

A hanging tab box is a folding carton with a tab at the top that has a hole, so the box can hang from a peg or a hook in a shop. Hang tab boxes are common in pharmacies, beauty aisles, and gift shops, where products hang on a wall or a rack. Retail hanging boxes and peg hook boxes are the same idea. A box with a hanging tab lets a small brand get on a retail wall without a shelf. Hang tab boxes for cosmetics suit lip products, brushes, nail items, eyelashes, sheet masks, and travel sets. The tab can have a round hole, an oval slot, or a euro style hole, depending on the hook.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside, and the tab adds height on top. Measure your product at its widest points, and add a small gap. Tell us the type of hook or peg in the shop, because the hole size and shape depend on it. A hang tab packaging design also needs a light product, since the tab carries the weight. Tell us your product and the display, and we suggest a size.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Brush set: about 8 in x 2 in x 1 in
• Lash box: about 4 in x 1 in x 0.5 in
• Nail kit: about 5 in x 3 in x 1 in
• Mask set: about 6 in x 4 in x 1 in

Paperboard, finishes, and options

Folding cartons are made from paperboard, a smooth board that is printed flat, cut, scored, and folded. Thicker board feels firmer and protects heavier products, and thinner board costs less. Boxes arrive flat and ready to assemble, so they take little space to store. Finishes include matte or gloss lamination, soft touch, foil, embossing, and spot gloss. The tab carries the weight, so a firmer board is a good choice. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing can be full color on the outside, with a one color or full color print inside. Keep key text and logos inside the safe area on the dieline, away from folds and glue flaps. We set up the folds and the cut lines on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Keep the logo and the product name below the tab, and keep the hole free of artwork.

Hang tab packaging for retail

A hanging tab puts your product at eye level on a rack or a wall. Because shoppers see the front first, plan the front for a short product name, a logo, and one clear benefit. A window can show the product itself. Add a back panel with the details a shopper wants, such as size and use. Retail stores have their own rules for hole size and spacing, so ask the store before you print.

Choosing the hole and the tab

Common tab styles are a round hole, an oval slot, and a euro hole, which is a wide slot for a euro hook. The right style depends on the hook in the store. A firmer board keeps the tab from bending. Tell us the hook or ask your retailer, and we set the tab on the dieline.

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
