Designed to Hang Where Customers Look First
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. They’re essentially a side-opening tuck end box with an added header designed to attract attention. The fifth panel (the header) extends above the main box with a built-in hang hole, creating extra billboard space for benefits, promos, or graphics while making it easy to display on peg hooks and retail displays.
Ideal for Lightweight, High-Traffic Products
Perfect for travel-size cosmetics, supplements, electronics accessories, and other small products that sell best as impulse purchases. A small hanging footprint fits where other cartons won’t, keeping products front-facing, organized, and easy to shop.
But impulse purchases aren’t their only use. The built-in hang hole lets retailers place products on peg hooks and other retail displays where they make the most sense.
That includes checkout areas, where waiting shoppers become a captive audience.
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.

Why Choose a Five Panel Hanger Box?
Five panel hanger boxes are a good choice if you have:
Very small, lightweight retail products
Items commonly sold as impulse purchases
Products that may sit on a shelf or hang on a peg hook display
Packaging that gives retailers more display opportunities
More display options = more selling opportunities
Five panel hanger boxes give retailers more ways to display your product where shoppers are most likely to see it. The same SKU can hang on peg hooks, clip strips, end caps, and checkout displays—putting it in more places across the store and creating more chances to sell, sometimes in multiple locations.
And when hanging space isn’t available, it can still sit neatly on a shelf.

-
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.
