Cardboard hanger — Sustainable clothes hanging solution

Recently, Nike, Adidas, Puma, Uniqlo… and other fashion brands have been gradually replacing plastic and metal hangers with environmentally friendly solutions, and cardboard hanger is the right choice. Why are cardboard hangers so popular?

• Protecting the environment:

Made from 100% pulp, the cardboard hanger can be easily recycled and reused. In addition, to ensure the issue of traceability of the forest for making pulp, many businesses aim to use FSC paper hangers.

• Cardboard hangers can be easily recycled:

KappAhl and Ekoligens AB cooperate in using recycled paper hangers for the Limited Edition collection, saving up to 1.1 tons of plastic waste to the environment. Cardboard hangers are a smart, economical, and sustainable solution.

• High loading capacity and durability:

This hanger is made by squeezing many layers of paper together to create a firm material. Its thickness ranges from 2 to 4 mm. They have the same loading capacity as plastic and metal hangers. Some of them can hang products weighing up to 10 kg, such as jackets, jeans… 
 

• Versatile and convenient:

The cardboard hangers have diverse designs, used for many purposes such as hanging pants, shirts, skirts, shoes, sandals, towels, hats, socks, belts, ties… The hanger can be used to hang clothes of newborn babies, children, adolescents, or adults. They are specially designed to keep items neatly on hangers.

• Cost-saving:

Hangers are made from recycled paper materials, so they usually have a good price, saving a lot of money for users having large quantity demand such as stores or fashion events. Besides, the weight of cardboard hangers is light compared to metal or plastic hangers, so it saves costs when transporting.

• Space-saving:

Their small sizes in various shapes limit the area used in the closets or shelve, increase the display area and save costs for users.

• Easily printed:

Since they are made of paper, printing becomes easier and more flexible. At clothing stores, cardboard hangers are often printed with business logos, slogans, messages, and promotional information. The variety of designs and colors creates many new appearances for cardboard hangers. Some models are produced separately to help display the products in the best way. This is an extremely effective form of marketing being used by major fashion brands today.
