Abstract:
A tag assembly (10, 210, 310, 410) includes a tag panel (14, 314, 414) and a elastomer panel (16). The tag panel (14, 314, 414) includes a first panel segment (22a, 322a, 422a) and a second panel segment (22b, 322b, 422b) demarcated from the first panel segment (22a, 322a, 422a) by a first fold line (48a, 348a). The second panel segment (22b, 322b, 422b) includes a panel aperture (34) and a plurality of slits (36, 236) communicating with the panel aperture (34) and defining a plurality of tabs (38, 238) therebetween. A retention aperture (24, 52, 58) is positioned on and through the tag panel (14, 314, 414). The elastomer panel (16) is bonded to the second panel segment (22b 322b 422b) and comprises a stretchable aperture (44), wherein the stretchable aperture (44) overlaps the panel aperture (34). A method for displaying a product (12) includes providing a tag assembly (10, 210, 310, 410), inserting a first portion (12a) of the product (12) through the stretchable aperture (44), inserting the first portion (12a) of the product (12) through the panel aperture (34), and restricting the first portion (12a) from withdrawing through the panel aperture (34) with the radially-separated tabs (38, 238) of the tag panel (14, 314, 414).
