Display Hooks

What Are Display Hooks?

Display hooks are metal or plastic fixtures that attach to retail display panels such as pegboard, slatwall, metalboard or mesh. They hold products with hang-sell holes or blister packs, creating clean, vertical displays.

Used widely in supermarkets, hardware stores, fashion outlets and convenience stores, retail display hooks support hangsell merchandising, making products easier to browse, restock and manage.

Why Use Retail Display Hooks in Your Store?

Using retail display hooks helps retailers create more effective, space-saving and customer-friendly displays. They allow for:

• Better product visibility: Hooks help lift products to eye level, reducing clutter.
• Efficient space use: Walls become display space, freeing up shelves and counters.
• Faster restocking: You can easily swap out items without needing to remove fixtures.
• Improved customer experience: A cleaner layout makes browsing easier and encourages impulse purchases.
• Flexible layouts: Reposition hooks to suit promotions or changing stock.

Display hooks suit a variety of retail formats, from permanent store fitouts to temporary activations and seasonal stands.

SI Retail offers a full range of retail hook types to suit Australian retail environments and panel systems:

Pegboard & Volcano Hooks

Ideal for standard and volcano pegboards. These single-prong, flip-scan, or loop hooks are used in supermarkets and convenience stores for items like batteries, snacks, or cosmetics. Volcano hooks offer added strength for high-volume or fast-moving goods.

Slatwall Hooks

A go-to for apparel and electronics retailers. Slatwall hooks slot directly into slatwall grooves and support a clean, organised display. Great for showcasing items like headphones, accessories or small tools.

Metalboard Hooks

Built for heavy-duty use. Metalboard hooks support tools, hardware items and trade products. Commonly used in hardware outlets across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Grid Wire & Mesh Hooks

Designed for portable display setups. Use these for pop-up shops, shopping centre stands and seasonal promotions. SI Retail's mesh hooks feature a stay-on design to prevent dislodging.

Fastback Hooks

Fastback hooks are designed for speed and convenience. Easily repositionable, they are ideal for promotional stands and FMCG products.

Bar Hooks (12mm)

Attach directly to crossbars or tube rails. These hooks are popular in fashion and accessories retail for hanging bagged goods or soft items, offering a sleek, streamlined finish.

Corrugated Hooks

Eco-friendly corrugated hooks are lightweight and recyclable. Perfect for cardboard POS displays and short-term campaigns.

How to Choose the Right Display Hook

The hook type should match your wall type. At SI Retail, we provide a wide range of options, including pegboard, slatwall, mesh, and metal.

When considering hook size, remember that heavier items call for thicker (5 to 6mm wire) and longer hooks. Use the following as guidance:

• 100 to 150mm for small, lightweight items
• 200 to 250mm for medium-sized products
• over 250mm for bulkier stock or deeper facings.

To get the most out of your display, add label holders, security clips, or hang tabs for price tags and stock control. Not sure what you need? The SI Retail team can guide you on selecting the right hook for any display system.
