Abstract
Abstract An elongate product information and display tag of plastic sheet is disclosed for use in association with a skyhook structure having a vertical limb extending upwardly from a mounting bracket secured to a perforated board and a horizontal limb extending forwardly from a hump-like bend which joins the limbs. The information and display tag has a mounting portion particularly designed for securing the tag on the hook structure at the hump-like bend, an elongate portion for extending over the horizontal limb of the structure and a product information and display portion at the distal end of the elongate portion for displaying product information forwardly of the horizontal limb. The mounting portion has an inboard section with apertures connected by an axial slit which is pressed down over the hump-like bend, and an outboard section which is bent down behind the hump-like bend and into engagement with the vertical limb of the hook structure by means of a further axial slit and aperture in the outboard section.
