Hanging Pack is a retail packaging format that secures products onto a cardboard or plastic support with a hook, commonly used for hanging display on shelves in supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. Its core feature is a hanging hole or hook at the top of the packaging, allowing products to be hung vertically, saving shelf space and improving visibility. Use cases include small items such as stationery, toys, hardware accessories, jewelry, batteries, etc. Precautions: ensure the hook has sufficient load-bearing capacity to prevent falling off during transport; packaging materials must comply with the destination country's environmental requirements; the hanging hole size must match the shelf hook. Difference from other terms: compared with Blister Pack, Hanging Pack does not necessarily use a transparent blister, but usually has a hanging hole; unlike a Hang Tag, Hanging Pack is a complete packaging, while a hang tag is only for identification. In foreign trade, the packaging method must be specified in the contract to avoid returns due to packaging non-compliance.
📝 Examples
1. Please ensure all stationery uses hanging packs, and affix a barcode on each pack so they can be put on the shelf for sale directly. (Note: Require the supplier to use hanging packs and meet retail shelf-ready conditions.)
2. 5% of the hanging packs for this batch of hardware accessories were damaged during transport. Please switch to thicker cardboard and reinforce the hooks next time. (Note: Feedback on packaging issues and request for improvement.)
