Abstract
A card for mounting and displaying snack foods and other products packaged in bags is provided, which has a matched pair of locking tabs defined therein. The tabs are forwardly deflected to receive the reversely folded end flange of the bag therebehind, and are then forced rearwardly through the plane of the card to position the upper corners of the bag therebehind. This will provide secure, two-point support for the product bag, while also permitting ready removal at the point of sale. Generally, a multiplicity of bags will be mounted on the card, arranged in rows and shingled columns thereon. In certain embodiments, the tabs are desirably formed with nibs on their upper edge to deform and thereby better grip the bag, as is most desirable when the bag is made of a flaccid material.
