     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
     [0010] A first embodiment of a shoestring hanging card in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, includes a hanging card  10  made of a comparatively thick cardboard and cut into a proper size. Then the hanging card  10  is printed on an upper surface with a shoe profile  11 , which may be shaped as a sneaker or a leisure shoe by means of photographing and printing. The shoe profile  11  has a shoe vamp  12 , and a plurality of shoestring holes  13  symmetrically arranged to space apart in two lines in the center portion. Further, the hanging card  10  has a hanging hole  14  near an upper center end, and the hanging hole  14  is shaped as an inverted T, with a short vertical hole of nearly as a circle and a horizontal slot under the short vertical hole and extending to both sides of the short vertical hole.  
     [0011] Next, how to use the shoestring hanging card is to be described. As shown in FIG. 3 the shoestring hanging hard is hung on something fitting through the hanging hole  14 , and a shoestring  20  is made to extend orderly through the shoestring holes  13  in such a way that the shoestring is inserted crisscross through the vamp of a shoe in wearing it. Then the displaying effect of the shoestring is quite so vivid that a consumer can see the practical matching condition of the shoestring to the shoe profile on the hanging card  10 , and can select a suitable shoestring  20  easily.  
     [0012] Further, FIG. 4 shows a second preferred embodiment of a shoestring hanging card in the invention, which further has a plurality of linear cuts  15  respectively extending from the shoestring holes  13  to two opposite sides of the hanging card  10 . Then a shoestring can be pushed orderly through each linear cut  15  to reach each related shoestring hole  13  so that the shoestring can be orderly inserted in the hanging card  10  and on the vamp  12  with quickness and easiness. Then a consumer can easily see how the shoestring, matches with a shoe profile  11 .  
     [0013] Lastly it is worth saying that the invention makes a revolutionary improvement in packaging a shoestring on a hanging card to get an exquisite display effect. And consumers can see the matching condition of a shoestring with a shoe with easiness and the feature of the product.  
     [0014] While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
