There are many reasons why hang tabs fail; the reason could be as simple as that the wrong hang tab was used for a package. Here are a few Q&A's that can help to ensure the successful application of hang tabs:
Q: Where do I "stick" the hang tab?
A: Generally, the backside of the package is the best location for attaching the hang tab.
Q: How heavy can my package be?
A: Each hang tab has a recommended maximum package weight that is specified by Do-it®.
Q: Are there any application surface requirements?
A: Hang tabs perform best on flat surfaces; they generally do not work well on uneven surfaces
Q: How long does it take for the adhesive to adhere to the package ("wet-out" period)?
A: Generally, the wet-out period is 24 hours for maximum adhesion performance.
Q: What is the ideal environment for maximum performance?
A: For maximum bonding strength, the optimal temperature range is between 15°C and 32°C
Q: Do I need to be concerned about the substrate of my package?
A: Hang tabs perform differently on different substrates but will adhere to most substrates.
