Why Plastic Hang Tabs Are the Perfect Retail Solution

In a fast-paced retail world where shelf space is limited and visual appeal is everything, finding simple, effective ways to display your products can make all the difference. That’s why retailers across continents rely on hang tabs as their go-to retail display solution.

At the Do-It Corporation, we’ve spent decades helping brands enhance their packaging and boost visibility on the shelf. And if there’s one thing we’ve found, it’s that plastic hang tabs are one of the most efficient and affordable tools in our lineup. But what is it, really, that makes hang tabs one of the best retail display tools out there? Well today, we’re exploring why plastic hang tabs are the perfect retail solution for both manufacturers and retailers alike.

Maximizing Shelf Visibility

One of the biggest challenges in retail is making sure your product gets seen. Plastic hang tabs allow products to be displayed vertically on peg hooks or display strips, putting them at eye level where customers are more likely to notice them. This placement is often more effective than traditional shelf space, especially in crowded or competitive markets.

Whether you’re trying to stand out in the checkout aisle or make the most of a promotional display, hang tabs can increase your product’s visibility, and therefore increase its chances of being purchased.

Extending the Life of Packaging

Sometimes, the original packaging isn’t sturdy enough to hang on its own. Thin cardboard, plastic pouches, or small boxes may tear or slump over time, making them unreliable on the shelf and undesirable to customers. Meanwhile, plastic hang tabs reinforce the package and make it easier to display without redesigning your packaging entirely. This is especially useful for re-packaging or transitioning products into new retail environments.

Cost-Effectiveness and Customizability

Compared to full packaging redesigns or elaborate display systems, hang tabs are incredibly affordable. They allow brands to convert almost any item into a peg-hanging product without investing in new packaging materials or printing runs. We offer a wide range of styles, adhesives, and sizes to match your product’s specific needs; we even offer custom options for brand alignment or unique applications.

Increase Product Placement Opportunities

Retailers love flexibility. When your product can be displayed in more than one location—like a shelf, peg hook, or clip strip—you increase your chance of secondary placement throughout the store. Hang tabs make it easy for retailers to position your product where it makes the most sense, driving more exposure and sales.
