GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING HANG TABS
These hang tabs are
designed to hang products on peg hooks, display strips — anywhere customers can
see them. Unfortunately, sometimes, a hang tab fails to hold the product in
place. Often the cause of the failure can be easily identified and corrected. When
a hang tab fails, the first thing to examine is the weight and shape of the
product and where, on the product, the hang tab was placed. Each style of hang
tab is designed for packages of various sizes, shapes, and tested to hang a
specific maximum weight. When a hang tab fails, the reason can be as simple as
the wrong hang tab was selected for that particular package — the package was
too heavy for that hang tab, the shape of the hang tab was wrong, or it was
placed incorrectly on the package. These reasons for failure are easy to
identify and correct. If it is determined that the right hang tab was used for
the particular package, there are a number of other factors that can influence
hang tab performance and need to be examined.
APPLYING HANG TABS
: Hang tabs should be applied on a clean, dry,
contaminant-free surface.
Contamination of the
adhesive area is one of most likely reasons for bad hang tab performance and
can happen in a number of different ways. These include: Dust/Dirt, Silicone,
Grease/Oil, Moisture, Cleaners, and Coatings.
PACKAGE SIZE AND WEIGHT
: Each hang tab has a recommended maximum
display weight, when used on an optimal product/package surface. The size of
the product/package can affect the tilt, or peel angle, when displayed.
SURFACE FORM
: A hang tab that is placed on a product surface
that is uneven will not perform as well as a hang tab placed on a flat surface.
An uneven surface will cause a reduced percentage of the adhesive to be in
contact with the surface. Generally, the backside of the product/package is the
best location for attaching the hang tab. “Wet-out” is used to describe the
time it takes for the adhesive to completely adhere to the product/package
surface. Generally, after 24 hours the adhesive will have gained maximum adhesion
strength. Heat and adding pressure to the adhesive area may reduce the length
of the wet-out time.
HANGING ENVIROMENT
: The optimal temperature performance range for
application and display is between 60°-90° F (15°-32° C). When hang tabs are
applied and displayed outside of this temperature range the adhesive will not
have maximum bonding strength.
SUBSTRATES
: A hang tab is placed directly on the product
or the product’s package. If it’s the product, then the hang tab needs to
adhere to whatever material the product is manufactured — plastic, wood, metal,
etc. If the hang tab adheres to the package, the substrate it adheres to could
be plastic, paperboard, or a shrink film. Hang tabs perform differently on
different substrates.
PLASTICS
: Most soft plastics, including plastics for
packaging, contain materials called “plasticizers.” These provide
softness and flexibility to the plastic but can, over time, migrate to the
surface of the material. Plasticizers can reduce the ability of an adhesive to
stick when it is applied or can soften an already applied adhesive and cause it
to lose its ability to support the package weight.
SHRINK FILM
: Many products that hang with a hang tab are
wrapped in a shrink film. Certain shrink films work well with hang tabs and
others do not. A good shrink film is one that contains little or no slip agents
(waxes or plasticizers). Slip agent materials are often added to shrink films
to help them run smoothly during the packaging process. Slip agents make it
more difficult for the adhesive on hang tabs to bond to the shrink wrap. Often,
“print grade” shrink film works well with these hang tabs.
PAPERBOARD / BOXES
: Coatings, such as ultraviolet (UV) cured
varnishes are commonly used on paperboard packages and can affect hang tab
adhesion. Surface coatings such as paint or ink may not be adhesive friendly or
may be loosely bonded to the products so that they, not the adhesive on the
hang tab, break away from the surface.
HANG TAB PEEL /
DEFLECTION / DISTORTION
:
Deflection or distortion are key first indicators of an over-stressed hang tab.
Deflection or distortion cause greater peel stress on the adhesive and will
lead to premature failure. The best way to test for peel, deflection and
distortion is to apply the appropriate weight to hang tabs, place them on a peg
hook and observe.
