What Paperboard Is Suitable for Hangers? Double-Side Kraft Laminated Board for Paper Hangers
Besides wood, plastic, and metal, hangers can also be made from paperboard. For paper hangers that need to balance structural strength, a paper-based appearance, and environmental considerations, double-side kraft laminated board is a suitable material option.
Double-side kraft laminated board uses a paperboard core laminated with kraft paper on both sides. It provides a certain level of thickness and stiffness while giving both sides of the hanger a kraft paper surface. The board can be processed into different paper hanger structures through die cutting, folding, gluing, and other converting processes.
Why Is Double-Side Kraft Laminated Board Suitable for Hangers?
Paper hangers are more than simply a sheet of paper. A hanger needs to maintain its shape and withstand certain forces during garment hanging, handling, and transportation. Therefore, the base material needs to provide sufficient thickness and stiffness.
Double-side kraft laminated board combines kraft paper surfaces with a paperboard core:
Kraft Paper Surface + Paperboard Core + Kraft Paper Surface
The kraft paper provides the surface appearance and paper texture, while the paperboard core provides overall thickness and structural support.
This composite structure makes the board suitable for rigid paper products, including certain types of paper hangers and garment display products.
1. Environmental Considerations: Suitable for Paper-Based Packaging and Garment Display
Environmental considerations are one of the reasons paper hangers are attracting attention.
Compared with traditional plastic hangers, paper-based materials can help fashion brands reduce their reliance on plastic materials. Kraft paper is also widely used in the packaging industry. Therefore, hangers made from kraft paper laminated board can be coordinated with paper boxes, paper bags, hangtags, and other paper-based packaging used by a brand.
For fashion brands developing paper-based packaging solutions, the hanger can also become part of the overall packaging system.
However, the environmental performance of the finished product also depends on factors such as the paper source, core material, adhesive, and end-of-life recycling method. Therefore, the term “kraft paper” alone should not be used to make absolute environmental claims.
When certified paper materials are used, the relevant certification can be provided according to the specific material and certification scope.
2. Kraft Paper Surface on Both Sides
One of the key features of double-side kraft laminated board is that both sides are laminated with kraft paper.
This can be important for hangers.
During display and use, both the front and back of a paper hanger may be visible. If only one side has a kraft paper surface while the other side is ordinary paperboard, there will be a difference in appearance between the two sides.
A double-side kraft structure provides a more consistent kraft paper appearance on both sides, making it suitable for hanger designs where the overall appearance needs to be visible from both sides.
3. Suitable for Brand Presentation
A hanger does more than hold garments. It can also become part of a brand’s visual presentation.
Brand names, logos, graphics, and other information can be printed on the kraft paper surface, allowing the hanger to coordinate with the overall garment packaging.
For example, a garment can use a kraft paper hangtag, kraft paper packaging box, and double-side kraft paper hanger, creating a consistent paper-based appearance across different packaging components.
This material combination is particularly suitable for brands that emphasize a simple, natural, or paper-based packaging style.
4. The Paperboard Core Provides Structural Support
Using thin kraft paper alone can provide the desired kraft paper appearance, but it may not meet the structural requirements of every hanger design.
Hangers generally need to be die cut into a specific shape. Some designs may also require folding, gluing, or assembly. If the material is too thin or flexible, it may not be able to maintain the intended shape.
Double-side kraft laminated board incorporates a paperboard core, giving the material a certain level of thickness and stiffness. It can therefore be used as a base material for structural paper hangers.
Of course, different hanger sizes, designs, and applications may require different paperboard thicknesses.
5. Suitable for Different Types of Paper Hangers
Depending on the product design, double-side kraft laminated board can be used for various paper hanger applications.
Garment Display Hangers
Used in clothing stores, brand displays, and retail environments, combining the function of hanging garments with brand presentation.
Paper Garment Hangers
The paperboard can be processed through die cutting, folding, and gluing to create different hanger structures.
Custom Branded Hangers
Brand logos, graphics, and product information can be printed on the kraft paper surface, making the hanger part of the overall brand packaging.
Hangers for Garment Packaging
Used together with kraft paper bags, paper boxes, hangtags, and other paper-based packaging to create a consistent paper packaging solution.
Why Double-Side Kraft Laminated Board Instead of Single-Side Kraft Laminated Board?
Single-side kraft laminated board has kraft paper laminated on only one side, while the other side is usually a standard paperboard surface. For paper hangers, which need to maintain their shape, the two sides may have different moisture resistance and stress characteristics, making the board more prone to deformation under certain conditions.
In comparison, double-side kraft laminated board has kraft paper laminated on both sides, creating a more symmetrical structure. This provides advantages in moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and overall stiffness, making it more suitable for paper hangers that require structural stability during use.
Therefore:
Double-Side Kraft Laminated Board
Kraft paper surface → Provides a kraft paper appearance and a surface for brand presentation
Paperboard core → Provides thickness and structural support
Double-side lamination → Keeps the kraft paper surface consistent on both sides and helps maintain structural stability
For paper hangers that require a kraft paper appearance, suitable thickness and structural strength, while also aiming to reduce the risk of deformation, double-side kraft laminated board is a suitable material choice.
Double-Side Kraft Laminated Board: A Base Material for Paper Hangers
The material logic behind paper hangers is relatively straightforward.
Kraft paper provides an appearance and paper texture suitable for garment packaging and can be used for brand printing. When a hanger requires greater thickness and structural support, kraft paper can be laminated to a paperboard core. When both sides of the hanger need a kraft paper surface, double-side kraft laminated board becomes a suitable base material.
Therefore, for paper hangers that require paper-based materials, a double-side kraft paper surface, and a certain level of structural thickness, double-side kraft laminated board can be used for corresponding die-cutting and forming applications.
