How Are Plastic Cloth Hangers Manufactured? (Updated & Complete Guide)

Contents

1. Introduction: Here’s What You’ll Learn

If you’re buying, sourcing, or designing plastic hangers, you’ve probably asked yourself one simple question —
how are they actually made?
This guide gives you a clear, step-by-step look at the entire plastic hanger manufacturing process —
from material selection to molding, finishing, and packaging —
so you’ll understand what affects quality, cost, and customization options when choosing a hanger supplier.

2. Step One: Choosing the Right Material

Every hanger starts with plastic pellets.
Most factories use:

  • Polystyrene (PS) – lightweight and glossy, best for everyday hangers.

  • Polypropylene (PP) – flexible and durable, ideal for heavier garments.

  • ABS or recycled plastic – stronger and more eco-friendly for premium use.

For metal hangers, factories use steel or aluminum wire, which must be cleaned, straightened, and treated before forming.
A reliable manufacturer always chooses materials based on purpose — not just price.

3. Step Two: Mold Design and Injection Molding

The mold is the foundation of plastic hanger production.
It’s made from hardened steel or aluminum, precisely shaped to form the hanger’s cavity.
A well-made mold ensures consistent size, smooth surfaces, and high efficiency.

Then comes injection molding, the core process:

  1. Plastic pellets melt under high heat.

  2. The molten plastic is injected into the hanger-shaped mold.

  3. The mold cools and the hanger solidifies.

  4. Robots or ejectors remove the finished hanger.

This entire cycle takes just a few seconds, allowing thousands of identical hangers to be produced daily.

4. Step Three: Cooling, Trimming, and Polishing

Freshly molded hangers are still warm and may have thin edges or rough spots.
They go through cooling lines, then workers or machines trim off excess plastic and polish the surface.
This small step determines how smooth, elegant, and comfortable the hanger feels.

5. Step Four: Adding Hooks, Clips, and Anti-Slip Layers

After molding, hangers are assembled with extra parts such as:

  • Metal hooks, inserted or twisted into the neck.

  • Clips, added for pants and skirts.

  • Velvet or rubber coatings, preventing garments from slipping.

This stage is also where customization happens — color, surface texture, or size adjustments based on the brand’s style.

6. Step Five: Surface Finishing and Branding

Once the structure is ready, the hanger gets its final appearance:

  • Spray coating or UV finish for matte or glossy looks.

  • Hot stamping or logo printing for brand identity.

  • Dual-color effects for premium visual appeal.

At Charisti, you can customize every detail — from coating color to engraved logos — making hangers part of your brand’s visual experience.

7. Step Six: Quality Inspection and Packaging

Before shipping, every batch is checked for:

  • Cracks, surface marks, or color variations.

  • Hook and clip strength.

  • Size and balance consistency.

Only qualified hangers move to packaging — where they’re counted, boxed, and prepared for export to global retailers and brands.

8. Step Seven: Machinery and Automation

Modern factories rely on advanced equipment to keep quality stable and output high:

  • Injection molding machines for plastic.

  • Wire bending machines for metal hangers.

  • Cutting and trimming systems for precision.

  • Automated coating and packaging lines for efficiency.

Automation ensures every hanger is uniform and production costs stay competitive — which directly benefits buyers.

9. Step Eight: Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Sustainability is now part of the industry.
Factories are adopting:

  • Recycled and biodegradable plastics,

  • Energy-efficient molding machines,

  • Waste recycling systems to reuse trimmed material.

Charisti actively applies these methods to reduce waste and support responsible production.

10. Step Nine: The Global Hanger Industry

Hanger manufacturing is global — with major factories in China, Vietnam, and Turkey.
Choosing a partner with advanced equipment, export experience, and stable capacity helps ensure reliable supply and consistent quality.
Charisti Company Limited, based in Huizhou, Guangdong, combines strong production capability with worldwide service for supermarkets, hotels, and retail brands.

11. Conclusion: From Plastic Pellets to Brand Identity

A single hanger goes through dozens of precise steps before it reaches your wardrobe.
From material choice to mold design, every detail affects quality, durability, and brand presentation.
