Updated August 23, 2026 · Teal Packaging operates a US facility in West Chicago, Illinois.
A 5 panel hanger carton adds an extended fifth panel to a folding carton so the package can hang from a retail fixture when the approved slot matches that fixture. The fifth panel is not a generic hook. Its length, fold position, slot location, and relationship to the front and back panels need to be reviewed with the actual display hardware. Teal starts with the product, fixture, artwork, quantity, and route before the carton is specified.
Most custom packaging starts at a 50 unit MOQ. Specialty rigid packaging generally starts at 100 or more. Teal provides a free dieline, a free digital proof, and free US shipping within the quoted scope. The quote controls the board, print, closure, requested delivery condition, assembly scope, and production route.
Design the fifth panel around the fixture
The extended fifth panel creates the hanging area above the carton body. The exact slot must follow the fixture requirements supplied by the buyer. Share the fixture opening, support location, product orientation, and the clearance needed for the package to hang without covering required copy. Teal can show the proposed panel and slot in the free dieline, but the buyer remains responsible for confirming that the approved slot matches the intended fixture.
Do not assume every retail rail, peg, hook, or display arm uses the same slot. A slot that works for one fixture may not fit another. If the carton will move between locations, list the fixture types for review. A 5 panel hanger carton may still need a shelf or shipper plan after display, so state whether the carton is packed inside another box and how the extended panel is protected in transit.
- Provide the fixture requirements and the exact slot position needed for the display hardware.
- Identify the front, back, side, base, and extended fifth panel in the proposed panel order.
- Describe the product orientation, required clearance, and any insert or divider inside the carton.
- State whether the carton hangs at retail, ships to a warehouse, or does both in the same program.
- Mark the panels that need brand copy, product information, barcode space, or variable print.
Coordinate panels and closure
Panel order controls the carton opening, product fit, fifth panel fold, and closure. The front panel usually carries the first read, while the side or back panels may carry instructions and business information. The approved dieline should identify every panel, fold, seam, and opening direction. This gives the buyer a way to check the artwork against the package instead of viewing the print as a flat rectangle.
Closure follows the carton structure. A tuck or locking closure may be reviewed when the board, product, and assembly method support it. Another closure can be specified if the fixture and packout require a different approach. Teal does not assume a closure from the words hanger carton. The quote should state the closing method, whether the carton ships flat or formed, and who completes assembly.
Select material and print for the run
Material selection begins with product fit, package panels, fixture handling, closure, route, and run size. A smaller run may call for a focused print area that protects the key message and keeps setup visible. A larger run may support a stable panel plan with broader print coverage when the artwork will repeat. The production manager reviews the actual order rather than assigning a universal board weight or grade.
Tell Teal which panels need print, whether the inside needs information, and whether several artwork versions share the same carton structure. The free digital proof confirms the panel order, slot position, copy, artwork, and closure before print. List any requested finish or documentation in the brief for quote confirmation. If a finish or special treatment matters, name it as a quote item and wait for written confirmation.
Run size can also change the practical assembly plan. A small quantity may be reviewed for manual forming or a simple packing sequence. A larger quantity still needs the same approved panel, closure, artwork, and packing sequence. The quote records the assembly scope and requested delivery condition.
Route and assembly scope
The production manager routes each job by specification. The quote confirms the facility route, board choice, print map, requested delivery condition, and assembly scope. Buyers should describe how the package will be opened, formed, loaded, and closed so the approved dieline matches the intended packing sequence.
Eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days; specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks; these are planning ranges, not guarantees. Rush production carries a 7-25% premium depending on the job. Teal offers free US shipping, a free dieline, and a free digital proof. Confirm the schedule and delivery scope in the quote.
Route production with a realistic schedule
Teal is a US company with production facilities in West Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou. The production manager routes jobs by specification. This production footprint does not promise that a selected hanger carton will be made in the United States. Ask for the proposed route in the quote and use it for planning.
Eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days. Specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks. These are planning ranges, not guarantees. Allow time for fixture review, free dieline design, digital proof approval, production, slot cutting, assembly, transit, and receiving. Rush work may add a 7 to 25 percent premium depending on the job. That premium does not create a guaranteed delivery date.
Compare the related hanger option
Use hanger boxes when the primary question is a broader hanging package format. Stay with 5 panel hanger cartons when the extended fifth panel and its fixture set slot are central to the brief. Comparing the sibling page can help a buyer decide whether the fifth panel is required before artwork and production review begin. For a die-cut viewing opening on the display panel, review window boxes.
Prepare a 5 panel carton brief
- Send the product, packed dimensions, product weight, orientation, quantity, fixture type, and required slot position.
- Describe the fifth panel, panel order, closure, insert needs, and whether the carton ships flat or formed.
- State the run size, print coverage, artwork versions, required copy, and any finish or treatment for quotation.
- Request the assembly scope, requested delivery condition, production route, MOQ, shipping scope, and timing range.
- Review the free dieline and digital proof for fixture fit, slot position, panels, closure, and artwork.
Send the fixture requirements with the artwork and product information. Teal can then review the fifth panel, select the material and print direction for the run, define the assembly method, and return a quote tied to the display plan.
