About this product

The EVF91103 is a flat paperboard slipcase designed specifically for retail pegboard display. It forms a tight, zero-depth pocket that is well-suited for gift cards, instruction manuals, screen protectors, and other flat accessories.

Delivered flat and pre-glued along the side seams, it allows for fast manual loading. The top flap folds over and secures with a friction tongue lock, presenting an integrated hanger hole without requiring tape or adhesive.

Flat Retail and Accessory Packing

Retail Gift Cards and Vouchers

Provides a clean, printable billboard for retail gift cards. The flat pocket keeps the card secure, while the tongue lock allows the buyer to open and reclose the package easily.

Flat Tech Accessories

Useful for screen protectors, decals, or thin cables. The zero-depth design prevents the product from shifting, keeping the retail presentation neat.

Documents and Instruction Manuals

Works well for hanging instruction booklets, warranty cards, or flat promotional materials where a standard carton would waste space.

Lightweight Apparel and Craft Supplies

Fits flat items like hosiery, sewing patterns, or stencils. The pre-glued pocket allows packers to slide thin items in quickly without assembling a full box.

Retail Display and Fulfillment Environments

Retail Pegboard Display

The integrated euro-hole is positioned on the top closure flap, allowing the package to hang cleanly on standard retail pegs. The front and back panels offer uninterrupted space for branding.

Manual Fulfillment Operations

Because the converter pre-glues the side seams, fulfillment teams receive a flat sleeve that only requires sliding the product in and tucking the top tongue into the front slit.

High-Volume Promotional Programs

For large-scale gift card or loyalty card rollouts, the flat design minimizes storage space and keeps packing labor straightforward.

When to Consider a Box with Depth

Bulky or 3D product profiles

This slipcase has no depth panels. For items thicker than a few millimeters, the front and back panels will bow, stressing the side glue seams and potentially popping the tongue lock. A standard tuck carton or a hang-tab box is usually a better fit.

Direct-to-consumer parcel shipping

The friction tongue lock is designed for retail display, not courier transit. If mailing directly to a consumer, this slipcase requires an outer rigid mailer or shipping box.

Board Choice and Closure Fit

Board thickness and hanger tear resistance

The paperboard must be thick enough to support the hanging weight of the product without tearing the hole, but flexible enough to allow the tongue lock to bend and insert smoothly. Testing with the actual product is recommended.

Internal clearance and panel bowing

Even slightly thick items can cause the flat pocket to bulge. This bulging misaligns the top flap, making the tongue lock difficult to secure. Precise internal clearance should be checked before a full production run.

Print surface and finishing choices

The flat nature of the slipcase makes it an excellent candidate for high-impact retail graphics, including foil stamping or embossing on the main front and back panels.

Closure security for heavier items

If the product is dense, the friction tongue lock may not be enough to keep the bottom-heavy pocket closed during handling. A different closure style or a clear wafer seal may be worth discussing.

Hanger and Lock Modifications

Hanger hole shape and placement

The standard euro-hole can be modified to a simple round hole or removed entirely if the package will be displayed in a dump bin or countertop tray rather than on a pegboard.

Tongue lock width and slit depth

The width and depth of the tuck tongue, as well as the receiving slit, can be adjusted to change how tightly the package locks, depending on the board thickness chosen.

Thumb cut radius

The thumb cut on the front panel can be widened or deepened to make it easier for consumers to grip the tongue lock and open the slipcase.

Packing details

Automated Loading Constraints

While the side seams are glued automatically by the converter, the flat pocket can be difficult for automated machinery to open and load. This style is generally planned for manual product insertion.

Additional notes

Product thickness and closure alignment

Always request a physical prototype to verify that your specific item slides in easily without bowing the front panel or misaligning the closure slit.

FAQs

Can this slipcase hold 3D objects?

No. It is designed as a flat pocket with zero depth panels. Inserting bulky items will cause the walls to bow, which stresses the glue seams and prevents the top flap from locking properly.

Does the top flap require tape or glue?

The top flap secures using a friction tongue that tucks into a slit on the front panel, requiring no tape. The side seams, however, are permanently glued by the manufacturer before delivery.

How much weight can the hanger hole support?

The weight capacity depends entirely on the chosen paperboard grade and the tear resistance of that specific material. Heavy items are generally not recommended for this style, and physical testing is necessary.

How is this package delivered to the fulfillment center?

It is delivered flat. The manufacturer folds and glues the side seams, so the packer only needs to slide the product into the open top and tuck the closure flap.

Can I mail this slipcase directly to a customer?

The friction tongue lock is designed for retail display. For courier transit, the slipcase should be placed inside a rigid mailer or outer shipping box to prevent the flap from catching and opening.

Can the hanger hole be removed?

Yes. If you plan to display the slipcase flat on a shelf or in a countertop display, the hanger hole can be omitted from the top flap.

What board thickness makes sense for this envelope?

A 0.5 mm folding boxboard is common, but the exact choice depends on product weight and hanger tear risk. Thicker boards increase hanging strength but make the tongue lock stiffer and harder to insert.

Can the tongue lock be opened and reclosed?

Yes, the friction tongue lock allows consumers to open the slipcase and reinsert the item without destroying the package.
