Abstract
An anti-theft display hanger includes a body portion having at a first member including at least one recess for supporting an electronic article surveillance sensor, and a second member designed to overlay the first member. The EAS sensor is preferably supported within the recess of the first member such that it is substantially co-planar with or below an inside surface of the first member. The body portion is preferably folded such that the second member at least partially overlays the first member. The first and second members are preferably connected by a bridge for supporting an article. In one embodiment, the bridge forms a planar surface for supporting the article, for example a necklace, when the second member overlays the first. An engagement member may also be provided for supporting the hanger on a display.
