Why a fifth panel helps products sell on pegs

A five panel hanger box adds a fifth panel to a standard carton, folded up from the back to create a double-thickness tab with a die-cut hang hole. The box can then hang on peg hooks or slatwall displays, putting the product at eye level in stores, pharmacies and gift shops. Because the tab is part of the carton, no separate header card or plastic hook is needed.

SBS paperboard is the standard for sharp print and a sturdy tab, and kraft board suits natural products. The hang hole can be a round hole, a sombrero-style slot or a euro slot, matched to the store's hooks. A die-cut window with clear film shows the product, and inserts hold items such as earrings, cables or socks flat and centered so the box hangs straight.

The hang tab sits above the product at eye level, so use it for your logo or a short brand line. The front panel should carry the product name and a clear benefit, with details on the back. Keep a balanced layout so the box looks good on a crowded peg wall. Our team will set your artwork on the dieline and send a digital proof for approval.

FAQ

Custom Five Panel Hanger Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What is a five panel hanger box?

It is a folding carton with an extra fifth panel that folds up from the back to form a hang tab. The tab has a die-cut hole, so the box can hang on peg hooks or slatwall displays in stores.

What hang hole shapes are available?

Common options are a round hole, a sombrero slot and a euro slot. The right one depends on the store's display hooks. Check the retailer's requirements, then tell us which shape you need when you request a quote.

Can a hanger box also stand on a shelf?

Yes. A five panel hanger box has a normal base, so it can stand on a shelf or hang on a hook. This flexibility helps when different retailers display the same product in different ways.

Can I add a window to a hanger box?

Yes. A die-cut window with clear film lets shoppers see the product without opening the box. Window size and position are planned around the product and shown on the digital proof before production. Film helps keep dust off the product while it hangs.

How do I get pricing for five panel hanger boxes?

Send your product dimensions, quantity, hang hole style, material and artwork through the quote form. A Vorex specialist replies with pricing and design help, and you approve a digital proof before production begins. Include any retailer hook specifications you have.
