Abstract

This disclosure discloses various merchandisers, mats, hang tabs, and methods of manufacture and use thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a mat including a first side portion, a second side portion, and a living hinge, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion extend from the living hinge such that the first side portion and the second side portion can rotate toward each other, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are asymmetrical to each other.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first side portion extends further from the living hinge than the second side portion. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the first side portion includes a section that extends past the second side portion, wherein the section includes a projection. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first side portion hosts a first plurality of projections, wherein the second side hosts a second plurality of projections, wherein the first plurality of projections is greater in number than the second plurality of projections. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of projections includes a first linear pattern of projections that extends past the second side portion. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first side portion hosts a first plurality of projections, wherein the second side hosts a second plurality of projections, wherein the first plurality of projections is lesser in number than the second plurality of projections. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first side portion hosts a first plurality of projections, wherein the second side hosts a second plurality of projections, wherein the first plurality of projections is equal in number to the second plurality of projections. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the mat includes an inventory security structure. 
     
     
         8 . A device comprising:
 a hang tab including a T-shaped portion, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a shaft, wherein the T-shaped portion is defined via a platform and a column, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall extend from the column away from the platform, wherein the shaft extends from the second sidewall such that the column is positioned between the shaft and the platform.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the first sidewall opposes the second sidewall. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the second sidewall includes a portion that extends away from the platform past the first sidewall, wherein the shaft extends from the portion. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the first sidewall is open-shaped such that the first sidewall interiorly defines an open space, wherein the second sidewall faces the open space such that the shaft extends towards the open space. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the first sidewall is U-shaped such that a pair of two diagonal gaps is formed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the shaft is tapered away from the second sidewall. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the first sidewall is positioned between the shaft and the platform. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the shaft extends past the first sidewall. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first sidewall or the second sidewall supports a spacer. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the hang tab includes an inventory security structure. 
     
     
         18 . A device comprising:
 a merchandiser including a platform, a first L-shaped member, and a second L-shaped member, wherein the first L-shaped member is defined via a first leg and a first arm, wherein the second L-shaped member is defined via a second leg and a second arm, wherein the first leg and the second leg extend from the platform such that the first arm and the second arm extend toward each other and thereby define a gap therebetween.   
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein at least one of the first L-shaped member or the second L-shaped member defines a T-shaped member extending from the platform. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the first L-shaped member and the second L-shaped member define a C-shaped member.
