1. A hang tab and product tag assembly configured for suspension from a display hook, the assembly comprising: a first panel comprising a hook aperture configured to engage with the display hook, wherein the first panel is inextensible;a second panel comprising: an elastic material;a first end portion having a thickness less than a thickness of a middle portion of the second panel such that the first end portion of the second panel is overlapped and conjoined with a portion of the first panel at a first bond zone such that a surface of the first panel is level with a surface of the second panel;a second end portion having a thickness less than the thickness of the middle portion of the second panel; anda product aperture located between the first end portion and the second end portion, wherein the product aperture is configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states due to the elastic material, and wherein the product aperture is configured to receive a product, such that the received product is configured to be suspended from the second panel and the first panel is suspended from the display hook; wherein the second panel is configured to bend such that the second panel forms a substantially s-shaped configuration; anda third panel, wherein a portion of the third panel is overlapped and conjoined with the second end portion of the second panel at a second bond zone such that a surface of the second panel is level with a surface of the third panel, wherein the third panel is also inextensible and is configured to suspend from the second panel. 2. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, wherein an entirety of the second panel comprises the elastic material. 3. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, wherein the first panel and the third panel each compositionally comprise a polymeric printable material. 4. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, wherein the third panel has a front surface and a rear surface, and wherein the rear surface comprises an adhesive. 5. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, wherein the first bond zone is configured such that the second panel bends at a location between the first bond zone and the product aperture. 6. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 5, wherein the second bond zone is configured such that the second panel also bends at a location between the second bond zone and the product aperture. 7. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, and further comprising a fourth panel that is overlapped and conjoined with the third panel, the fourth panel comprising the elastic material, and further comprising a second product aperture that is configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states due to the elastic material. 8. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 1, and further comprising a foldable carrier that is integrally connected to the third panel. 9. A hang tab and product tag assembly configured for suspension from a display hook, the assembly comprising: a first inextensible panel comprising a hook aperture configured to engage with the display hook;an elastic panel comprising: a first end having a thickness less than a thickness of a middle portion of the second panel such that the first end of the second panel is overlapped and conjoined with a portion of the first inextensible panel at a first bond zone;a second end having a thickness less than the thickness of the middle portion of the second panel; andthe middle portion located between the first end and the second end, wherein the middle portion includes a product aperture that is configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states, and wherein the product aperture is configured to receive a product; anda second inextensible panel overlapped and conjoined with the second end of the elastic panel such that a surface of the elastic panel is level with a surface of the second inextensible panel; wherein a first portion of the elastic panel proximal to the first inextensible panel is configured to bend at a first angle relative to the middle portion of the elastic panel, and a second portion of the elastic panel proximal to the second inextensible panel is configured to bend at a second angle relative to the middle portion of the elastic panel. 10. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 9, and further comprising a second elastic panel that is overlapped and conjoined with the third panel, the second elastic panel comprising a second product aperture that is configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states. 11. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 9, wherein each of the first and second inextensible panels comprises a polymeric printable material. 12. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 9, wherein the second inextensible panel has a front surface and a rear surface, and wherein the rear surface comprises an adhesive. 13. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 9, wherein the second inextensible panel has a surface comprising information selected from the group consisting of textual indicia, illustrative indicia, tactile information, machine readable information, and combinations thereof. 14. The hang tab and product tag assembly of claim 9, and further comprising a foldable carrier that is integrally connected to the second inextensible panel. 15. A sheet of multiple tab and product tag assemblies, the sheet comprising: a first inextensible strip comprising a plurality of hook apertures offset from each other in a first direction;an elastic strip comprising: a first end portion having a thickness less than a thickness of a middle portion of the elastic strip such that the first end portion of the elastic strip is overlapped and conjoined with a portion of the first inextensible strip at a first bond zone area that extends in the first direction such that a surface of the first panel is level with a surface of the second panel;a second end portion having a thickness less than the thickness of the middle portion of the elastic strip such that the first end portion of the elastic strip is offset from the first end portion in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction; anda plurality of product apertures offset from each other in the first direction, and each configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states;a second inextensible strip, wherein a portion of the second inextensible strip is overlapped and conjoined with the second end of the elastic strip at a second bond zone area that extends in the first direction; anda plurality of perforation lines that separate the sheet into the multiple tab and product tag assemblies, wherein each of the multiple tab and product tag assemblies comprises: a first panel defined by the first inextensible strip and having at least one of the hook apertures;a second panel defined by the elastic strip and having at least one of the product apertures wherein the second panel is configured to bend such that the second panel forms a substantially s-shaped configuration; anda third panel defined by the second inextensible strip;wherein, as the first panel is configured to be suspended by the at least one hook aperture, the second panel extends at a first angle relative to the first panel, and the third panel is configured to extend downward at a second angle relative to the second panel. 16.
