Display strip

Abstract

A display strip includes a strip of material having a top portion with a hole, an intermediate adhesive portion attached to a first package, and a lower portion with second attachment structure (such as a tab or overlapping tabs) adapted to engage the hole on an identical second package. By this arrangement, the plurality of product can be hung in series, with each successive product hanging from an adjacent one of the product. A related method includes hanging a plurality of product in a serial vertical arrangement where each successive product hangs from an adjacent one of the product. By this arrangement, a lowest one of each successive product can be removed from the above-adjacent product. Alternatively, the product selected for removal can be spaced above a bottom one of the plurality of product, such that more than one of the product is removed from the vertical arrangement for purchase.

1 . A display strip comprising:
 a relatively short strip of material having a top portion with first attachment structure, an intermediate portion adapted for attachment to a first package, and a lower portion with second attachment structure adapted to engage the first attachment structure on an identical second package.   
   
   
       2 . The display strip defined in  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate portion includes adhesive. 
   
   
       3 . The display strip defined in  claim 2 , wherein the first attachment structure is a hole. 
   
   
       4 . The display strip defined in  claim 3 , wherein the second attachment structure includes at least one tab. 
   
   
       5 . The display strip defined in  claim 4 , wherein the second attachment structure includes a second tab overlapping the at least one tab. 
   
   
       6 . The display strip defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment structure is a hole. 
   
   
       7 . The display strip defined in  claim 1 , wherein the second attachment structure includes at least one tab. 
   
   
       8 . The display strip defined in  claim 7 , wherein the second attachment structure includes a second tab overlapping the at least one tab. 
   
   
       9 . A display system comprising:
 a plurality of product each having a strip of material attached near a top thereof, one of the product and the strip having a hole near a top of the product and the strip having a tongue configured to engage the hole of an adjacent one of the plurality of product, whereby the plurality of product can be hung in series, with each successive product having from an adjacent one of the product.   
   
   
       10 . A method comprising steps of:
 providing a plurality of product; and   hanging the plurality of product in a serial vertical arrangement where each successive product hangs from an adjacent one of the product.   
   
   
       11 . The method defined in  claim 10 , including a step of removing a lowest one of each successive product from the above-adjacent product. 
   
   
       12 . The method defined in  claim 10 , including a step of removing a selected one of the product, the selected one being spaced above a bottom one of the plurality of product such that more than one of the product is removed from the vertical arrangement.
