Original Abstract Submitted

A hang tab assembly includes a paper outer layer and inner layer. The outer layer may include a hanging panel, a tear-away panel adjacent to the hanging panel, a first kiss-cut path on an upper surface of the outer layer, and a second kiss-cut path on a lower surface of the tear-away panel, the second kiss-cut path offset from the first. The assembly may include a first adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the tear-away panel, and a second adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the inner layer facing away from the outer layer. The outer layer may include a tear-away portion that tears transversely between offset kiss-cut paths to unseal a sealed package and expose internal paper material to provide visual indication that the package has been unsealed.
