A package includes a box and a window member. The box includes a primary panel, internal panels collectively defining a chamber therebetween and adjacent the primary panel, and a face panel extending across the chamber spaced from the primary panel. The at least one of the internal panels defines a slot facing the chamber. The face panel includes a tab extending outwardly from a remainder of the face panel, and the tab is received within the slot to at least partially maintain the face panel within the chamber. The window member includes a first wall covering the chamber and a second wall extending from the first wall and positioned within the chamber. The second wall defines a free edge and a cutout extending from the free edge into the second wall. The cutout is slidably receives the tab of the face panel securely coupling the window member to the box.

Package with locking window member

A package includes a box and an insert. The box includes a front wall and defines a compartment therein. The front wall defines an open window between a top window edge and a bottom window edge of the front wall. The open window provides direct access to the compartment. The insert is maintained within the compartment and defines a top chamber panel adjacent the top window edge, a rear chamber panel, and a bottom chamber panel adjacent the bottom window edge. The insert is maintained within the compartment such that the bottom chamber panel divides the compartment into at least an open chamber and a closed chamber. The open chamber is defined immediately adjacent the open window between the top chamber panel and the bottom chamber panel. The closed chamber is defined on a side of the bottom chamber panel opposite the open chamber.

Package with open chamber

A merchandise hanger includes a coupling member and a support interface member. The coupling member includes a cross component, a latch component, and a flexible strap. The cross component includes an elongated panel and a track section, wherein the elongated panel defines latch-receiving apertures. The latch component includes an elongated plate and opposing hooks extending from the elongated plate. The flexible strap extends from the cross component to the latch component. The coupling member folds about the flexible strap to move the opposing hooks of the latch component into alignment with the latch-receiving apertures of the cross component. The opposing hooks are configured to move through the latch-receiving apertures to couple the cross component to the latch component. The support interface member is slidably received within the track section of the coupling member and is configured to slidably transition between a storage position and a hanging position.

Merchandise hanger, associated assemblies, and methods

Merchandise display card

A hanger, for supporting a retail item from a separate support structure, includes a support interface portion, a transverse section, an intermediate section, and a base section. The support interface portion is configured to selectively receive the separate support structure. The transverse section extends from the support interface portion and defines a bottom edge of the transverse section. The intermediate section extends from the transverse section. The base section extends downwardly from the intermediate section. The base section defines two side edges tapered toward one another such that a width of the base section gradually decreases as the base section extends away from the intermediate section. The base section is configured to partially deflect to slide through an elongated opening of the retail item such that during use the intermediate section and the base section are positioned on opposite sides of the elongated opening and the intermediate section extends through the elongated opening.

Retail product assembly with hanger

A retail product assembly includes a retail product, a bracket coupled thereto and defining an opening between the retail product and the bracket, and a hanger. The hanger includes a hanging portion configured to receive a support structure, a cross bar, a drop portion, and a tapered portion. The cross bar extends from the hanging portion and is wider than the bracket. At least a portion of the cross bar extends below the topmost sidewall of the retail product. The drop portion extends through the opening. The tapered portion extends away from the drop portion and is configured to slide through the opening to position a top edge of the tapered portion opposite the cross bar relative to the opening. The top edge of the tapered portion interacts with the bracket to support the retail product via the bracket when the hanger is hung from the support structure.
