Abstract
Self-retracting hang tabs for product packages are described. Methods of manufacturing the self-retracting hang tabs are also described. One apparatus includes a frame to house a hang tab, the frame to be at least partially coupled to a surface of a product package, and the hang tab to allow the product package to be hung from a medium when in a deployed position. The apparatus also include a biasing member coupled to the frame and the hang tab, the biasing member to move the hang tab from the deployed position to a retracted position when not under tension. The biasing member is also configured to position the hang tab in a deployed position when the hang tab is under tension.
