Premium Hang Tabs

1072 • 1074 • 1075 • 1076

Application Techniques

Application of 3M™ ScotchPad™ Hang Tabs is most easily accomplished

at room temperature because at colder temperatures, approaching 32°F

(0°C), the adhesive becomes firmer. Once applied, the ScotchPad hang

tabs will perform well throughout the normal temperature ranges

typically encountered by packaged products in shipping and storage

environments to a surface that allows a straight vertical position with no

peel. Unless testing is done to confirm a ScotchPad hang tab will hold a

heavier product, 3/4 lb. or less is the recommended weight unit.

Some well-balanced three pound products have been displayed using two

ScotchPad hang tabs placed on one object in opposing placement. Pre-

testing is advised. Three ScotchPad 1074/1075/1076 hang tabs can be

used to hold thick flat samples in a 3-ring binder. Because the whole tab is

not rigid, they can also be pre- applied to products and folded down

before shipping thus eliminating excessive shipping bulk. Some

manufacturers pack extra pads in with product so the retailer can repair

broken or damaged package chipboard headers thus reducing profit-

stealing unsellables.

Storage Conditions

Store in a clean dry place. Temperature of 40-80°F (4-26°C) and 40 to

50% relative humidity are recommended.
