Five Panel Hanger Auto Bottom Boxes
A five-panel hanger with an auto-bottom base, combining peg-hook retail display with fast setup.
Structural & Engineering Details
How This Structure Works
This carton adds a fifth panel that extends into a peg-hook hanger while an auto-bottom base squares up fast, combining hanging retail display with quick setup. The extra panel folds up above the box to carry a hang hole and branding for slat-wall or peg merchandising, and the pre-glued bottom pops square as the blank opens. The geometry suits products sold from hooks where both visibility and speedy assembly matter, letting the box stand on a shelf or hang from a peg. Because the base auto-erects, staff mainly open, load, and hang, keeping display setup efficient across many units.
Good Fit For
- Peg-hook or slat-wall retail display
- Hardware, accessories, and small goods
- Assortments that ship flat and hang
Key Advantages
- Fifth panel adds a branded hang tab
- Auto-bottom squares up in one motion
- Works on a peg or standing on a shelf
Assembly & Construction
The bottom is pre-glued so the flat blank auto-erects into a locked base when opened, while a fifth panel folds up and over the back to form the hanger with a punched hang hole. Assemblers pop the base, load the box, and fold the hanger panel into place, so the carton forms quickly and is ready to sit on a shelf or hang from a peg without a separate header attachment.
Materials & Board Options
A firm paperboard can suit lighter hanging versions where the hang tab must resist tearing at the hole, while heavier fills may point to a thicker caliper or a light corrugated grade. Final board, any flute, coating, and hang-hole reinforcement typically depend on the product weight, box size, print, filling method, and how the pack hangs and ships, so a loaded sample usually confirms the build.
Pre-Production Planning Checklist
- Confirm the hang hole resists tearing at the loaded weight
- Check the auto-bottom squares up cleanly under fill
- Verify the hanger panel folds flat and prints in register
