Abstract
A product package (box) comprising a one-piece, pre-cut glue-less, blank having an extended rear panel adapted to be folded about a score line to provide a header card extending from the rear wall of the carton. The extended rear panel header card functions both as a free standing advertising panel and permits the box to be hung from a hanger without obstructing the ad message. The box is set up by interlocking tabs without the use of adhesive.
