My principal gripe is the integrated hang tab. Having worked in retail, I know what it's like having to try to repair those little hang tabs with tape and staples and etc. after some ignorant and/or malicious little turd wrenches a product off its display peg. Some little psychopaths actually damage them deliberately, because they know you as the retailer have to mark down damaged goods, essentially extinguishing any flicker of hope that you might have of turning a profit. Think of it this way: every damaged hang tab means someone has stolen a little piece of a retailer's soul, or at least their livelihood. It's a shame that so many retailers have to install security cameras just because a small number of little bastiches can't restrain themselves from tampering with packages and fondling the contents without paying for them.

What clamshells have had issues with the j-hook breaking? I know that blister-cards are a bitch to keep in decent shape in store and those j-hooks break ridiculously easy but I don't think I've ever seen a clamshell package have any j-hook issues. Or are you accidentally switching clamshell and blister-card here?
