    Retail-Ready Hang Tab Boxes for Peg Hook Displays

    01

    Vivid Full Colour Printing

    Your hang tab box is printed in full CMYK colour across all panels, including the hang tab area. This gives you complete branding coverage from the top of the peg hook down to the base of the box.

    02

    Custom Sizes and Dimensions

    Every hang tab box is manufactured to your exact specifications. The box body and hang tab are die-cut together as a single unit, ensuring a clean, professional look.

    03

    Eco-Friendly Materials

    Kraft and recycled cardboard are available for brands that want environmentally responsible packaging. Both materials are recyclable and support full-colour printing.

    04

    Premium Finish Options

    Add matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, or foil stamping to make your hang tab box stand out on the peg hook display. Premium finishes increase perceived value and draw customer attention.

    05

    Peg Hook Compatible

    The built-in hang tab is die-cut with a euro slot that fits standard retail peg hooks. This allows your product to be merchandised vertically, which is especially useful for maximising display space.

    06

    Fast 8-10 Day Turnaround

    Production is completed in 8 to 10 business days after proof approval. Consistent lead times mean you can plan your retail distribution and store restocking with confidence.

    07

    Low Minimum Orders

    Flexible minimum order quantities let you test hang tab packaging in specific retail locations before committing to a large run. We recommend starting at 100 units.

    08

    Free Australia-Wide Shipping

    All orders ship free within Australia. Hang tab boxes are delivered flat-packed and ready to assemble, with delivery in 3 to 5 business days after dispatch.

    09

    Increased Shelf Visibility

    Hanging your product on a peg hook places it at eye level and separates it from items stacked on shelves below. This vertical merchandising approach is proven to increase product visibility and impulse purchases.

    Custom Hang Tab Boxes for Retail Display

    Hang tab boxes are a display-focused packaging format designed for retail environments that use peg hook merchandising. The built-in hang tab features a die-cut euro slot that fits standard retail hooks, allowing your product to be displayed vertically alongside other hanging merchandise. This is a common setup in supermarkets, pharmacies, hardware stores, and specialty retail outlets across Australia.

    The advantage of hang tab packaging is visibility. Products displayed on peg hooks are positioned at eye level or in dedicated display areas, rather than sitting flat on a shelf where they can be hidden behind other items. For small to medium products such as batteries, health supplements, personal care items, and stationery, hang tab boxes are one of the most effective ways to maximise retail exposure.

    Our custom hang tab boxes are printed in full colour across all panels, including the hang tab area. This means your branding extends from the top of the display hook all the way down to the base of the box, creating a complete branded presence. When paired with custom header cards on the same peg hook display, your brand can dominate an entire section of the retail fixture.

    Design and Customisation

    Every hang tab box is custom die-cut as a single piece that includes the box body and the hang tab. We provide a dieline template so your artwork can be placed precisely across all surfaces, including the tab. The euro slot is positioned to ensure the box hangs straight and stable on a standard peg hook.

    Finishing options include matte and gloss lamination, spot UV highlighting, and foil stamping. In a retail environment, premium finishes help your product stand out among competing items on the same display fixture. A spot UV logo or foil accent catches the light and draws the customer's eye, which is especially important in high-traffic retail zones.

    If your product requires different packaging for peg hook and shelf display, we can produce both a hang tab version and a standard folding box version with matching artwork. This gives you flexibility across different retail environments without needing to redesign your packaging.

    Materials and Print Quality

    Hang tab boxes are manufactured from white cardboard or kraft board. White cardboard is the preferred choice for full-colour designs with high-detail graphics or photography, as it provides a clean, bright print surface. Kraft board is available for brands that want a more natural look and is well suited to health food, organic, and eco-friendly product categories.

    The hang tab area needs to be strong enough to support the weight of the product when hanging. We select an appropriate cardboard weight based on your product specifications to ensure the tab remains intact and the box hangs securely throughout its retail life. All printing uses offset methods for sharp, consistent colour across the full run.

    For products that also need a counter-level display option, our rectangular boxes and product boxes offer shelf-based alternatives with the same print quality and finishing options.

    Ordering and Delivery

    Submit a quote request with your product dimensions, product weight, quantity, and finishing preferences. Including the product weight helps us select the right cardboard weight for a secure hang tab. We respond within one business day with pricing and production details.

    Production takes 8 to 10 business days from proof approval. Shipping is free within Australia, with delivery in 3 to 5 business days after dispatch. Boxes arrive flat-packed and assemble quickly, ready for loading and distribution to retail locations.

    Brilliant experience from start to finish

    “I'd been searching for a packaging supplier for my new skincare line and Custom Cardboard Boxes absolutely delivered. Sophie walked me through the whole process, from choosing the right box style to finalising the artwork. She was incredibly patient when I kept changing my mind on colours and never once made me feel like a hassle. The finished product looks unreal. The print quality is spot on and my customers have been commenting on how premium everything looks. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

    Top-notch custom mailer boxes for our coffee brand

    “We've just received our first order of custom mailer boxes and honestly, they've exceeded all expectations. Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure. He was super responsive, always kept us in the loop, and even suggested a few tweaks to our design that made the final product look way more professional. The turnaround time was faster than we expected and the pricing was very competitive. We'll definitely be ordering again for our next roast release.”

    Charlotte was absolutely fantastic

    “Charlotte was absolutely fantastic to work with. As a small business owner just starting out with handmade candles, I had no idea what I needed in terms of packaging. She took the time to explain all the different options, helped me pick the right size and material, and the design team nailed my artwork on the first go. The boxes arrived in perfect condition and they look gorgeous. My brand feels so much more legit now. Thank you, Charlotte!”

    Exceptional quality and service, highly recommend

    “We've been working with Custom Cardboard Boxes since we launched our botanical skincare range and they've been nothing short of brilliant. Liz has been our main contact and she's always gone above and beyond to make sure everything is sorted. The print quality on our boxes is crisp, the colours are bang on, and the packaging feels really sturdy and premium. We've tried other suppliers before but none have come close to the level of service and quality we get here. Will not be going anywhere else.”

    Great product, slight delay on shipping

    “The boxes themselves are fantastic. Really well made, colours came out perfectly, and the design team were really helpful during the proofing stage. Tom was great to deal with and answered all my questions promptly. Shipping took a touch longer than originally quoted, but I understand these things happen and the end result was well worth the wait. Overall a really positive experience and I'd still recommend them to anyone looking for custom packaging.”

    Made my small business look like a big brand

    “I recently launched my first range of protein bars and needed packaging that would really stand out on shelves. Michael was so helpful and patient as we worked through different design concepts and box styles. He even helped me adjust my artwork to make sure the print came out perfectly. When the boxes arrived, I was absolutely stoked. They look incredibly professional and the quality is outstanding. Custom Cardboard Boxes has genuinely taken my brand to the next level. Can't thank them enough.”

    Perfect custom belly bands for our soap range

    “We ordered custom belly bands for our artisan soap range and they turned out beautifully. Amie was our point of contact and she was lovely to deal with. Really communicative and made the whole process dead easy. The print quality is crisp, the fit around our bars is spot on, and they've given our products such a polished, professional look. The pricing was also very reasonable compared to what we were quoted elsewhere. Already planning our next order!”

    Samantha Russo

    Fast turnaround and outstanding results

    “We needed custom packaging for a product launch and were working to a really tight deadline. Eric was brilliant. He got everything sorted quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. The auto-lock boxes we ordered are sturdy, the print is sharp, and the whole unboxing experience looks premium. I was genuinely impressed by how fast they turned everything around without compromising on quality. Will absolutely be using Custom Cardboard Boxes for all our future orders.”

    Excellent service, Kevin was a legend

    “This was our first time ordering custom packaging and we were a bit nervous about the whole process. Kevin put us at ease straight away. He was super communicative, explained everything clearly, and made brilliant suggestions that improved our original design. The finished boxes look absolutely mint and arrived right on schedule. Our customers have already been raving about the packaging. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cheers, Kevin!”

    Really happy with the end result

    “Ordered custom gift boxes for my online boutique and the quality is lovely. The cardboard is thick and sturdy, the printing is sharp, and the colours match my branding perfectly. Davis was my main contact and he was really easy to work with. Always quick to reply and happy to help with any changes. The only minor thing was a small delay getting the initial proof back, but once that was sorted everything moved along smoothly. Would happily order from Custom Cardboard Boxes again.”
