Custom Hang Tab Boxes: Retail Packaging That Stands Out & Sells More

In today’s competitive retail environment, your product needs more than just great features—it needs visibility. Custom hang tab boxes are a perfect solution to maximize your product’s presence on store shelves, pegboards, or retail racks. Designed for convenience, durability, and branding impact, these boxes are especially popular in industries like cosmetics, electronics, health supplements, and more.

With full customization options including size, shape, printing, and finishes, you can create retail packaging that doesn’t just hold your product—it sells it.

 Product Overview

Hang tab boxes are packaging boxes with an extended tab—either built into the box structure or attached—that allows the product to be hung on display hooks or pegs. They offer the best of both worlds: the protection of a box and the accessibility of hanging display packaging.

Whether you need packaging for earbuds, makeup kits, or small tech gadgets, these boxes offer maximum visibility, secure closure, and brand-centric design.
