Applications
Maximizing Productivity in Hanger Production
Clothes hangers are high-volume, price-sensitive products. Success requires maximum productivity and minimum material usage. Our multi-cavity moulds deliver both.
Fast Fashion Retailer Partnership
A major European fast-fashion chain needed hangers that:
- Matched their brand aesthetic precisely
- Could be produced at 10 million units per year
- Reduced plastic usage without sacrificing quality
- 12-second cycle time achieved (5 million hangers per mould per year)
- 15% material reduction through wall optimization
- Consistent quality across all 8 cavities
The Economics of Hanger Production
| Factor | Single Cavity | 4-Cavity | 8-Cavity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mould cost | $X | $2.2X | $3.5X |
| Output/hour | 300 | 900 | 1600 |
| Cost/hanger | High | Medium | Lowest |
| ROI timeline | 18 months | 8 months | 5 months |
Market Segmentation
Different markets require different hanger designs:
- Retail display: Chrome hook, anti-slip shoulders
- Dry cleaning: Swivel hook, trouser bar
- Home use: Simple design, lowest cost
- Premium apparel: Wood-grain texture, wide shoulders
Multi-Cavity Mould Engineering
Cavity Layout Optimization
8-cavity hanger moulds require careful layout:
Layout Options
| Layout | Runner Length | Balance | Mould Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2x4 | Medium | Good | Compact |
| 4+4 | Long | Excellent | Wide |
| Radial | Equal | Perfect | Large |
Runner System Design
Multi-cavity moulds need perfectly balanced filling:
Runner Specifications
- Main runner: 8mm diameter
- Sub-runner: 6mm diameter (naturally balanced)
- Gate: Pin gate 1.2mm (clean vestige)
- Balance deviation: <2% between cavities
Hook Design Options
The hook is the most complex feature:
| Hook Type | Complexity | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed hook | Simple | Home use |
| Swivel hook | Medium | Retail, closets |
| Chrome insert | Complex | Premium retail |
Anti-Slip Shoulder Design
Effective anti-slip features prevent garment sliding:
- Texture depth: 0.3-0.5mm
- Texture pattern: Raised dots or ridges
- Coverage area: Top 40% of shoulder slope
- Draft angle: 5° minimum for texture release
Cycle Time Optimization
Hangers require ultra-fast cycles for profitability:
Cycle Breakdown (12s total)
| Phase | Time | Optimization |
|---|---|---|
| Fill | 1.2s | High-speed injection |
| Pack | 1.5s | Minimal pack needed |
| Cool | 7.0s | Conformal cooling |
| Eject | 1.3s | Stripper plate |
| Mould | 1.0s | High-speed clamp |
Material Efficiency
Every gram matters in hanger production:
- Target weight: 38-42g (adult hanger)
- Wall thickness: 2.5mm shoulders, 2.0mm neck
- Hook thickness: 4mm for rigidity

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Clothes Hanger Mould
What is the maximum number of cavities possible?
We offer 4, 6, and 8-cavity configurations. 8-cavity is maximum for standard adult hangers (420mm width) on 500T machines. For smaller hangers (children's, accessory), 12-cavity is possible.
Can swivel hooks be integrated?
Yes, we design for swivel hook integration. The hook mechanism is a separate insert that can be manually or automatically assembled. Swivel hooks add approximately 1 second to cycle time.
What anti-slip options are available?
We offer: rubber-like TPE coating (post-moulding), textured shoulders (molded-in), and flocked shoulders (post-process). Molded-in texture is most cost-effective for high volumes.
How do you ensure cavity-to-cavity consistency?
Our naturally balanced runner system ensures <2% weight variation between cavities. We verify balance during mould trial with individual cavity weighing and adjust as needed.
What is the expected mould life?
With proper maintenance, our hanger moulds achieve 800,000+ shots. Key wear items (gates, ejector pins) can be replaced to extend life further. We include spare wear items with each mould.
Can trouser bars be added?
Yes, trouser bars can be integrated into the base hanger design or as clip-on accessories. Integrated bars add approximately $2,000-3,000 to mould cost and 3 seconds to cycle time.
