  • Publication number: 20070157499
    Abstract: A display tag holder that has a mounting portion, an intermediate portion, and a display portion, and a method of thermoforming such a display tag holder. The mounting portion mounts to a merchandise display hook with the intermediate portion extending above the hook so as to extend downwards and forwards of the forward tip of the hook. The mounting portion has at least two restrictions for mounting on attachment points of the merchandise display hook to a base mount, the restrictions providing an interference fit between the hook and the mounting portion, and may include a raised portion. These features help to prevent the holder from falling off the hook or hanging under the hook in the event that a customer accidentally bumps or brushes against the holder. The display portion includes a parallel pair of grooves for retaining a display tag, and which can extend either vertically or horizontally.
