Abstract
Abstract A display hanger particularly adapted for use with a rectangularly-shaped container. The hanger includes a flat substantially rectangular support member defining a circular opening proximate the upwardly disposed end thereof. The circumferential edge of the opening is connected to the side edge of the support member by means of an elongated slit. The lower end of the support member defines a rectangular flap by means of a continuous fold line. A pair of opposed locking tabs are formed integral with the flap and extend beyond the side edges of the support member.
