Five Panel Hanger
Hang it. Sell it. Show it.
Custom Five Panel Hanger Boxes
Hanging Product Packaging Designed for Impulse Purchases
Five panel hanger boxes do more than hold your product—they put it where shoppers can’t miss it. The fifth panel extends above the main box with a built-in hang hole, creating a header with billboard space—front and back—for benefits, promos, or graphics, while making it easy to display on retail hooks.
Ideal for Lightweight, High-Traffic Products
Perfect for travel-size cosmetics, supplements, electronics accessories, small tools, and other add-ons that sell best when they’re seen often. A small hanging footprint fits where other cartons won’t, keeping products front-facing and organized.
It’s All About the Tease
Hang it where it sells. This hanging retail packaging is built for high-traffic zones—right where shoppers pause—to tempt last-minute buys.

What's a Good Paper Thickness for My Box?
-
16pt (0.016″ ≈ slightly thicker than a business card)
-
Best for very small product boxes.
-
Rule of thumb: footprint (floor of the box) of about 1″ × 1″ or smaller.
-
-
18pt (0.018″ ≈ just under credit-card thickness)
-
Strong enough for most cosmetics, food, and shelf packaging.
-
Cost-effective and versatile — the “everyday” choice for custom boxes.
-
Rule of thumb: footprint of about 2.75″ × 2.75″ or smaller.
-
-
24pt (0.024″ ≈ credit-card thickness)
-
Stiffer and more rigid, with a premium feel in hand.
-
Ideal for larger, heavier, or higher-end products where strength and presentation matter.
-
Rule of thumb: footprint of about 3″ × 3″ or larger.

Cardstock.... or Paperboard?
The paper behind your packaging matters
You may have seen box specs like “18pt cardstock” online — but not all 18pt paper is created equal.
• Cardstock: A thick paper used for crafts, postcards, and invitations. It’s cheaper and technically works for light packaging — but it lacks the stiffness and durability needed for most product boxes.
• Paperboard: A stiffer material engineered specifically for packaging. It folds cleanly, glues reliably, and holds its shape to protect your product — and your brand — on the shelf.
The key is knowing what you’re buying. In retail, your product box is what closes the sale — so it needs to perform and look its best. That’s why we use a quality paperboard — so your packaging doesn’t just hold together, it helps sell what’s inside.
Why Choose a Five Panel Hanger Box?
Because it puts your product in the shopper’s line of sight—and in more places across the store. Retailers like hangable packaging because the same SKU can live on peg hooks, clip strips, end caps, and at checkout, driving more visibility and sales. And it still sits neatly on a shelf when hooks aren’t available.
More places to hang = more chances to sell.
Benefits:
Five panel hanger boxes maximize retail visibility and give smaller products a bigger presence at the point of sale.
Prime visibility: Eye-level peg hooks and end caps drive impulse purchases
Extra panel space: Header panel adds room for benefits, claims, and barcodes
Multi-location merchandising: The same SKU can hang in multiple spots to maximize exposure
Hybrid display: Hangs cleanly or sits on a shelf depending on planogram needs
Organized and front-facing: Keeps small products neat and visible in crowded aisles
Lightweight and efficient: Best for lighter items; uses less space than many boxed alternatives
Custom Options
Five panel hangers can be customized with display and access features to suit different retail needs.
Header height: This is your billboard - how big do you want it?
Hang hole shapes: (round, butterfly, triangle) for different retail fixtures
Tuck top lids: available in straight or reverse styles
Locking choices: friction lock, slit lock, or postal lock for added security
Half-moon thumb tabs: for easier opening and re-closing
Built-in inside partitions or inserts: to separate and organize multiple items
Frequently Asked Questions About Hanging Boxes
What Kind of Hang Hole Should I Choose?
Euro slots are the most versatile and common, compatible with most retail fixtures. Round or dual holes are also available depending on display requirements.
Can You Add a Hang Tab to Any Box?
In most cases, yes. We can engineer almost any tuck box or folding carton style to have a hang tab or hanger panel.
My Product is Heavy
We’ll recommend thicker paperboard or add reinforcement so the hang tab doesn’t tear.
Are Hanging Boxes More Expensive?
Only slightly. The additional panel or die-cut feature adds minimal cost compared to the merchandising value it delivers.
What’s the MOQ for Hanging Tab Boxes?
Minimums generally start around 500 units but can vary depending on box complexity and finish.
