Hanging box with Euro slot

Sales displays with hanging folding boxes promise the retailer maximum turnover in the smallest space: after all, every centimetre of floor space counts when you have a large range of goods on offer. The sales-promoting presentation of goods in the retail trade is decisive for the success or failure of products, especially branded goods. If the products are presented in an emotionally appealing way with folded boxes with Euro slot hangers or hanging boxes, clearly arranged and easy to grab on the go, these often lead to impulse buys.

The Euro slot is the slot-shaped recess at the top end of these boxes. The Euro slot has become the standard in worldwide retail. The Euro slot makes these boxes easy to hang and ideal for retail presentation. The slots are standardised and therefore fit all standard product presentation systems with Euro hooks. A good place to see this kind of product presentation in practise is the shop attached to many a filling station. These are particularly short of space, so they present many products in hanging boxes. While petrol stations used to focus on selling car accessories and snacks in addition to fuel, they have now shifted to being convenience stores, offering after-hours shopping. They make more per sale of a product in a hanging box or bag than they do selling fuel.

Folding boxes with Euro slot hangers meet another important criterion for modern product packaging: they can be printed on all sides of the carton, including the inside, for effective advertising. Windows backed with a transparent film even allow customers to take a peek at what's inside the box. This strategy is often used with hanging boxes in toy shops, for example, because children want to look at their next toy for real before their parents pay for it at the checkout.
