5-Ball Display Hook with Label Holder — Designed for Supermarkets & Retail Stores

L:100/150/200/250/300/350/400(mm)

Core Advantages

    Five-ball hanging structure – Five ball-shaped tips at the front section, ball diameter 12 to 16 mm, spacing between balls 25 to 35 mm. The stepped shoulder behind each ball separates ring-tagged products (tools, toys, bagged snacks). A single hook accommodates up to five products, reducing the number of hooks required.

    Integrated label holder – Label holder located at the hook rear or beneath the shaft, with a display area of 50×30 mm or 75×40 mm. Accepts paper or PET price labels. The transparent front cover is a flip-up type, allowing label changes without hook removal.

    Anti-slip design – The ball diameter exceeds the shaft diameter, creating a mechanical stop. Ring tags must pass over the ball to detach from the front. During normal loading/unloading, tags remain on the shaft section behind each ball. Ball surfaces are smooth and non-abrasive to tag hole edges.

    Mounting compatibility – Rear mounting available in slatwall insertion type or grid panel slot type. Slatwall type fits standard 12.7 mm slot width / 25.4 mm spacing. Grid panel type fits 5×5, 10×10, and 25×25 mm hole patterns.

Product Features

    Material – Carbon steel wire, diameter 4.0 to 5.5 mm.

    Length specifications – 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 mm (straight-line distance from mounting surface to front of the first ball).

    Ball specifications – Quantity: 5. Ball diameter options: 12, 14, 16 mm. Ball material: metal (integral with shaft) or injection-molded plastic (slip-on type).

    Ball spacing – 25, 30, or 35 mm options.

    Surface finish – Electrostatic powder coating (black, white, gray, red, blue, silver) or hot-dip galvanizing.

    Rear mounting types:

        Type A: Slatwall insertion, fits 12.7 mm slot width

        Type B: Grid panel dual-slot, fits 5-10 mm holes

        Type C: Grid panel cross-lock (rotational lock)

    Label holder specifications – Display area: 50×30 mm or 75×40 mm. Transparent cover material: PET or PVC. Label holder attaches to hook body via bolts (removable) or integral welding (fixed).

    Load capacity per ball position – 0.5 to 1.5 kg per shaft section behind each ball. Total hook load not exceeding 5 kg.

    Ball spacing load – The shaft section between adjacent balls accommodates one standard hang-tag product (tag inner diameter 10 to 25 mm).

Application Scenarios

    Hardware tool section in supermarkets for screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers (5 per hook).

    Hang-card toys in toy stores (die-cast cars, puzzles, modeling clay).

    Kitchen gadget display in home goods stores (bottle openers, peelers, measuring spoons).

    Pet supply sections for leashes, brushes, and toy balls.

    Auto parts stores for hang-card cleaners and small accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions and Precautions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the specific capacity difference between a 5-ball hook and a standard single-prong hook?
A: A standard single-prong hook accommodates one product along its full length, or multiple stacked hang-tag products that may slide together. The 5-ball hook uses balls as physical separators, with each ball's rear section holding one product independently, preventing contact between products. For the same length (e.g., 300 mm), a standard hook effectively displays 1 to 2 products (to avoid overlap), while the 5-ball hook displays 5 products.

Q: Can the label holder be replaced or removed?
A: Label holders attach to the hook body via bolts (removable type) or integral welding (fixed type). Removable types use M3 or M4 bolts and can be detached with a Phillips screwdriver. Fixed-welded types are not removable; the entire hook must be replaced.

Q: Do balls loosen or detach after long-term use?
A: Metal integral balls are forged from the same wire as the shaft, with no possibility of loosening. Plastic slip-on balls are secured via interference fit or retaining rings and do not loosen within rated load limits. Inspect plastic balls monthly. Replace hooks if cracks or rotational play are detected.

Precautions

    Do not exceed 1.5 kg per ball position or 5 kg total hook load. Overloading causes shaft bending or wire deformation behind balls.

    When hanging products, ensure the ring tag fully passes over the ball and rests on the shaft section behind it. Tags caught between two balls may detach.

    Do not clean ball surfaces with abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which scratch coatings or plastic surfaces.

    Under high-frequency use (over 20 openings/closings per day), the hinge of the transparent label cover may experience fatigue failure within 6 to 12 months. Stock replacement covers or use magnetic-closure label holders.

    Install correctly based on the rear mounting type. For slatwall type: insert vertically into the slot and press down to lock. For grid panel type: fully insert slots into grid holes and rotate 90 degrees.

    Inspect hook levelness monthly. Uneven ball loading may cause the hook to tilt toward the heavier side, affecting product access on adjacent ball positions.

    This hook is not intended for products without hang tags or ring holes (e.g., bulk items bundled with rubber bands), which may slip between balls.
