A product hanging system comprised of one or more product hanging straps plus a point-of-purchase hanging strip said strip having one or more through cut slots of suffieient size to acccept a notched T shaped end of a strap portion of the invention with both the straps and the hanging strip being produced from sufficiently strong flexible natural or colored plastic. The strip being of equal width having a through cut hole top center used to suspend it from a hook or wire and spaced through cut slots down its length. Product to be hung is secured to a strap of the invention then the opposite end of the strap is attached to a hanging strip with the attachment method being a "T" shaped strap end is fed into a through cut slot, entry of the head of the "T" into said slot being accomplished by engaging a key notch on the body of the T. After full entry of the head of the T shaped end of the strap into the slot the notch is disengaged allowing the head of the T to seat in said slot, the notch showing below the slot is visible evidence of a strap to slot lock. This method of "T" into slot connection is used to secure a strap end to through cut slots found in; Link up product display strips, other straps, packaged products with through cut slots, displays and other items with a sufficiently cut slot. In order to hang coiled or folded electric cords a T shaped end of a strap is fed through a slot in the opposing end forming a loop in the strap a loop that closes when the end of the strap passing through the slot is lifted, in this way items to be hung can be cinched within the body of a strap and secured there with a slight bend of the strap body at the loop. The strap with cinched product is secured on a product display strip using the notch of the T as a key. Removal requires a lift of the strap so the notch in the strap end engages the slot in the strip, once the notch is engaged twist the strap to the side to remove the rounded head of the T shaped end of the strap from the slot in the strip. The strap portion of the invention can also be used to close carton flaps. A slit is cut in each carton flap to be closed then each end of the strap is inserted and locked in each of the slits. The strap acts like a bridge securing the box flaps and forming a light load handle in the process with removal of one strap end allowing access to the contents of the carton. Corner flaps of a carton can be kept open for product loading using the notched T into slit method of connection.
