The packaging hook according to the invention is attached to the piece of lingerie, e.g. a brassiere, when same is packaged by the manufacturer or wholesaler for transportation to the retailer. It is clipped over the top edge in the center of the packaging or piece of lingerie itself as shown in FIG. 5, with the two parts of the lower portion of the packaging hook gripping the edge and the top hook part folded down so that only the narrow hinge portion of the packaging hook projects past this edge, making it possible to efficiently box the item.

At the retailer, the hook is folded up as shown in FIG. 4 so that the item can be hung up for display. The packaging hook is made of injection-molded plastic and is intended for one-time use and disposal by the purchaser.
