Debunking 3 Common Hang Tab Myths

November 28, 2025

When it comes to product display, hang tabs are one of the most efficient tools available, but they’re often overlooked and misunderstood. Here at Do-It Corporation, we’ve engineered and seen results that modern hang tabs provide product packaging and performance in store.

In this month’s blog, we’re going to debunk three common myths about hang tabs, which can show the true possibilities of hang tabs.

1. Hang Tabs Only Work for Lightweight Products

It’s true that early hang tabs were limited in strength, but things have definitely come a long way since then. At Do-It Corporation, we offer a wide variety of hang tabs engineered to support your different product weights, packaging materials, and display conditions. Our durable adhesives and reinforced designs allow even heavier or unusually shaped items to hang securely in retail environments.

2. Hang Tabs Ruin Product Packaging

Modern hang tabs are designed to blend in, not stand out. We offer clear and nearly invisible tabs that preserve the visual integrity of your packaging. Whether you’re focused on bold branding or sleek minimalist design, there’s a tab that fits without distracting from your product’s look.

3. Hang Tabs are Outdated in Today’s Retail Environment

Some may think hang tabs are a thing of the past, but they’re more relevant than ever. With limited shelf space and higher competition for attention, hang tabs help products stand out vertically and increase visibility. Plus, they can reduce the need for extra packaging materials, supporting more sustainable display solutions.

Let’s Rethink the Hang Tab

Hang tabs aren’t just an afterthought after all, but they’re a smart strategy to improve your sales, product marketing, and packaging all in one. At Do-It Corporation, we’ve helped brands in nearly every industry get the most out of their retail packaging.
