The reason for the slot on the back of a tuck

Ever wondered what is the reason for the slot / cut on the back of a paper tuck? I was enlightened today after receiving this 100 pack of 7oc permsharps.
It is there to hang the tuck onto the cover.

Correct. With that said, I'm not a fan of the cards. I'd rather have my tucks come in a box, like the Astra SPs do. I have purchased cards before where some tucks are missing when they fall out of the sides.
I thought so too, and if you notice, it's typical of Asian blades whether Indian, Pakistani or Bengali.Full disclosure: This will be another "only on B&B" type thread : :

From this and looking at your photo, it is easy to deduce that the Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp blades are those made in India and not in Russia.
OK it 's equally easy to see that they are made in India because on the packaging it shows the price in Indian rupees.
That's what I use to rip the tuck open with a thumbnail.
Easy access.
Easy access.
To open the pack:
Whether using the slot to attach the packs to display cards happened afterwards (or at the same time) l don't know. Perhaps Achim (@mr-razor) would be able to throw some light on the subject?
Basically a slot for used blades. (At least, that was my understanding.)

yeah, almost all tucks were pretty banged up, some even cracked open. luckily nothing was lost.
That is the case for plastic tucks, not the cardboard ones.
