Five Panel Hanger Cartons

Five Panel Hanger Boxes for Peg Display

Five panel hanger boxes are purpose-built for retail peg walls, combining a protective folding carton with an integrated, reinforced hanging header. The fifth panel is what sets the style apart, creating a strong angled tab that keeps products visible and secure on a hook without the cost of a separate glued-on hang card.

What the Fifth Panel Does

A conventional folding carton has four main body panels; the five panel hanger carton adds a fifth panel that folds down over the top and glues in place. This creates a doubled-thickness header at an angle to the box face, and a hang hole is die-cut through both layers. The extra board is essential because a single-ply tab would tear under the weight of the product once it is loaded and hung, whereas the reinforced header carries the load reliably. Because the hang tab is part of the same blank, there are no extra components to assemble and nothing that can peel away in transit. The fold that forms the header also stiffens the top of the carton, which helps protect the product and keeps the pack from crushing when packs are stocked tightly together on a peg.

How It Hangs on a Peg

The finished header sits at an angle above the product body, so when the carton hangs on a metal peg hook the graphics tilt toward the shopper's eye line rather than facing straight up. The die-cut hole can be a rounded slot, a euro-style keyhole or a sombrero hole to match the retailer's fixture. This angled presentation improves visibility on a crowded pegboard and helps the product compete for attention. Major retailers often specify a particular hole type for their fixtures, and we can match that requirement exactly so your pack is approved for their planogram.

Board and Materials

Because the hang tab bears weight, board stiffness is critical. We recommend robust SBS or kraft in calipers from 18pt to 24pt so the doubled header stays flat and the hole edges do not deform. Clay-coated board improves print sharpness on the front face and adds surface durability for products that are handled repeatedly on the shelf before purchase. The heavier the product, the stiffer the board we specify, so the header holds its shape through repeated lifting on and off the hook.

Products and Industries

Five panel hanger cartons dominate categories sold from peg walls. Typical products include hardware and fasteners, hand tools, drill bits, phone and tech accessories, cables, batteries, stationery, craft supplies and small toys. Any lightweight-to-medium item that a retailer merchandises on a hook rather than a flat shelf is a natural fit for this hanging format. The style is especially valuable in busy DIY, electronics and convenience aisles where vertical peg space is the primary way products are displayed and where a clear, self-hanging pack saves the retailer valuable shelf real estate.

Printing and Finishing

The large front face and angled header give ample room for bold branding, product photography and feature callouts in full-colour offset print. Finishing choices include gloss and matte lamination, spot UV to highlight logos, and foil stamping for a premium accessory look. A clear window can also be die-cut into the front panel so shoppers see the actual product alongside the hanging header. The header itself is prime advertising space, often carrying the logo and key claim so the brand reads clearly even from across the aisle, while the body panel handles the detail a shopper reads up close.

Sustainability and Ordering

These cartons are made from recyclable paperboard, offered in recycled and FSC-certified grades, and ship flat before folding and gluing on set-up. That keeps transport compact despite the added header panel, and an all-paperboard hang tab avoids the plastic clamshells this format often replaces.
