The present invention relates to a security device for products that typically are sold on hangers in stores. Such products include, by way of example only and not to limit the scope of the invention, razors, razor blades, batteries, electronics and other high value items. These types of products are typically included in packaging, such as a clam-shell or thermoformed plastic packaging, cardboard containers or combinations of plastic and cardboard. The packaging typically will have a perforation near the top which allows the product in the package to be hung on a hanger type device that is attached to a display area such as in a pegboard/hanger arrangement. Unless there is some type of security mechanism attached to the packaging, these types of items can be easily taken and have historically been the subject of theft due to the relatively small size of the packages and high value of the items. The invention relates specifically to a security tray device comprising: a vertical wall (122) having a top end (122a), a bottom end (122b), a first side (122c) extending longitudinally between the top end and the bottom end, and a second side (122d) opposite the first side and extending longitudinally between the top end and the bottom end; a tray area (127) adjacent the bottom end and extending outward from the vertical wall; and a hanger aperture (125) adjacent to the top end.
