Each type supports different retail merchandising display needs depending on your fixture system and product range.

How do I choose the right merchandise display hooks?

The right display hooks depend on your display system, product weight, and packaging:

• Choose hooks compatible with your panel system (e.g. slatwall or pegboard)

• Consider scan hooks with label holders for pricing and barcodes

Matching your hooks to your products ensures safe, effective merchandising.
