Abstract
An improved, crush resistant, multiple use merchandise hanger assembly is disclosed which allows hanging or stacking of merchandise as desired. The assembly includes a two-flap, merchandise-receiving label having an upstanding tab, and a hook pivotally secured to the tab. The tab is apertured and provided with an arcuate hook-receiving slot for accommodating pivoting of the hook. The label includes strategically located transverse lines of weakness therein so as to safely absorb bending or impact forces during shipping and handling without harming the label. In use, the hook can be selectively shifted to an upright operative position for suspending the merchandise, or can alternately be pivoted to a lowered, recessed position permitting normal stacking of the merchandise.
