Custom hang tab folding cartons add an extended header panel and die-cut Euro slot to a compact paperboard box, allowing products to hang from retail peg hooks while retaining full front, back, and side printing. This structure is suitable for cosmetics, personal care items, accessories, small electronics, hardware, wellness products, samples, and other lightweight retail goods.
Integrated hang tab for peg-hook display
The rear panel extends above the carton body to form a paperboard hang tab. A Euro-slot opening allows the package to hang on compatible pegboard and slatwall hooks. Slot dimensions, tab height, peg spacing, and retailer fixture requirements should be confirmed before production.
Reinforced folded header panel
The dieline uses a folding header area around the hanging slot to add stiffness compared with a single exposed layer. Final reinforcement, board grade, grain direction, and pull strength depend on the packed weight and expected display period and should be validated with a physical sample.
Flexible retail applications
The tall, flat carton provides a strong front-facing billboard for branding while using vertical display space efficiently. It can be configured for packaged accessories, beauty products, replacement parts, health and wellness items, stationery, electronics, and promotional merchandise. Regulated medical or pharmaceutical claims and labeling remain the customer's responsibility and must be reviewed for the destination market.
Custom materials, printing, and finishes
Choose white paperboard, natural kraft paperboard, or corrugated board according to appearance and strength requirements. Available print configurations include unprinted packaging, full-color CMYK, and CMYK with Pantone color matching. Matte and gloss lamination can be quoted where compatible with folding and hang-tab performance.
How to specify the correct carton
Provide the product dimensions, packed weight, preferred orientation, peg-hook style, hook diameter, spacing limits, and any insert requirements. Because the carton body, tuck closures, header fold, reinforcement panel, and Euro slot are structurally connected, the 3D configurator may adjust related dimensions to maintain a valid dieline.

What is the extra panel above the box called?
It is usually called a hang tab, header tab, or hanger panel. The die-cut opening shown here is commonly called a Euro slot and is used for retail peg-hook display.
Will the tab support my product weight?
Capacity depends on the board, grain direction, reinforcement, slot geometry, packed weight, and display duration. A production-grade sample and hang test are recommended before approving the structure.
Can the slot shape be changed?
Yes. Euro slots, straight slots, round holes, and other retailer-specific hanger openings can be reviewed, subject to the selected structure and hook system.
Is this specifically a medicine box?
No. The structure is a general retail hang-tab carton. It can be used for many product categories, but any pharmaceutical, medical-device, child-resistant, tamper-evident, or regulatory requirement must be specified and validated separately.
