Abstract
Discloses a method of making scanning hooks with a release agent on the label attachment tab. Stock is formed by laminating a plastic sheet which will provide the main carrier body of the overlay and a thin film which has a release agent strongly bonded to its outer surface. The film is bonded to the main plastic layer, such as by an adhesive. Overlay blanks are cut from the resulting laminate stock as by die cutting. The overlay blanks then are bent and mounted on scanning hooks, with the tab portion extending essentially vertically and presenting an outwardly exposed release surface which provides ready appliability, removability and replaceability of merchandising labels which bear information related to the products supported on the hanger.

An overlay for a scanning hook,
- said overlay including an elongate body section for overlying a scanning hook and a label support panel extending from one end of said body section for receiving, supporting and displaying thereon information labels related to products that may be supported on such a scanning hook,
- said overlay being die cut of a laminate which comprises a plastic support layer having at least a portion of one surface thereof covered by a carrier layer, the carrier layer having one side bonded to said plastic support layer to form said laminate, the carrier layer also having an outwardly exposed release layer on its opposite side, the die cutting being oriented such that the release layer covers at least the entire label support panel.
