A plastic coat hanger manufacturer injection moulds the hangers that apparel brands, hotels, retailers and e-commerce sellers use to present and ship garments. The range covers flat suit hangers, hangers with trouser bars, slim space-saving designs and children's sizes, and most programmes run on polypropylene because it balances stiffness, drop resilience and recyclability. This guide explains how a pp coat hanger is built, which specifications matter, and what to confirm before ordering.
Product range
- Suit hangers with trouser bar, typically 42-45 cm wide with about 26 cm shoulder height
- Slim flat hangers 4-10 mm thick for space-saving retail display and shipping
- Children's and lingerie hangers from 26 to 36 cm
- Notched shoulder designs that hold straps and camisoles without slipping
Adult sizes carry load ratings around 5-8 kg per hanger, and wall thickness stays near 3.5-5 mm so the shoulder keeps its shape under a heavy winter coat. Slim 4 mm designs are preferred where freight volume matters more than maximum load, while 8-10 mm bodies suit premium retail display.
Material and construction details
Most pp coat hanger programmes use unfilled or lightly filled polypropylene chosen for resilience against cold and drops and for a clean as-moulded surface. A suit hanger with trouser bar adds a sliding crossbar, a chrome-plated 360 swivel hook, and shoulder notches moulded directly into the tool instead of glued-on pads. Surface finishes range from as-moulded to rubberised or wood-look coatings, and logo application uses mould engraving, pad printing or heat transfer. A recycled pp hanger blend using post-industrial regrind is common in value programmes; buyers who need proof should request material composition and heavy-metal test reports rather than accepting a verbal claim, in line with the documentation approach in our guide to recycled PP in toys.
Tooling, MOQ and lead times from a plastic coat hanger manufacturer
Catalogue hangers ship from stock or short runs of 1,000-10,000 pieces. Custom logo programmes need tooling, with in-house mould work typically 15-25 days and samples inside 7-15 days; MOQ starts near 500 pieces for engraved tools and 1,000 for print-only decoration. Cartons pack 100-240 pieces with layer protection, and a plastic coat hanger manufacturer should state carton dimensions for freight planning.
