FSC-certified hangers: what the label means and what you get

Four hanger models in FSC-certified beech are in stock in Denmark, and all our wooden hangers can be made in FSC wood by custom production. Here is what the certification covers, what the documentation can be used for in your purchasing, and what the hangers cost.
  • FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. The label means the wood can be traced back to forests managed according to FSC's rules for the environment, working conditions and local communities.
  • Hang On has four FSC models in stock: Halifax shirt, clip and coat hanger, and York clip hanger. From €1.79 per pc excl. VAT, delivery in 1–3 working days.
  • Logo from 300 hangers in total, models can be mixed. All wooden models can be custom-produced in FSC wood from 500 pcs (coat hangers) or 1,000 pcs.

What FSC certification means

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international, independent organisation founded in 1993. It sets standards for responsible forestry and has independent certification bodies check that the standards are followed.

The certification has two links, and both must be in place before a hanger may be called FSC-certified:

  • The forest. The forest is managed according to FSC's ten principles. They cover, among other things, replanting, protection of water and wildlife, workers' rights and consideration for local communities and indigenous peoples.
  • The chain from forest to hanger (Chain of Custody). Every link that owns or processes the wood, sawmill, factory and dealer, is certified and audited annually. That chain is what allows the hanger in the store to be traced back to the forest. Licence code: FSC® C148732.

The FSC label comes in three variants: FSC 100% (all wood from FSC-certified forests), FSC Mix (FSC wood mixed with recycled material and controlled wood) and FSC Recycled.

Why hangers are made of beech

Beech is the classic wood for hangers. It is hard and dense, the grain is even, and it withstands lacquer, colour and many years of daily handling without splintering or breaking at the hook. That is why beech is also the wood we use in our FSC models.

Our FSC hangers come in untreated natural beech, so the grain is visible. The metal parts are available in black or white. The hangers are produced in Europe.

What you can use the documentation for

Buyers, CSR departments and chains increasingly ask for documentation of the materials in store fixtures. FSC gives you three concrete things. FSC documentation for the delivered hangers comes with the order.

Supplier forms and ESG
Material, origin and certification are stated in the documentation, so you can enter the hangers in your own purchasing reporting without obtaining anything extra.
An argument towards your customers
The FSC label is widely known among consumers. If you want to use the FSC name or logo in your store or marketing, it requires an agreement with FSC. Ask us, and we will help with what may be stated.
Ready for new requirements (EUDR)
The EU Deforestation Regulation requires documentation of origin for wood products. FSC traceability is not in itself EUDR compliance, but the documentation makes the work easier.

FSC hangers in stock

All four models are in stock in Denmark and delivered in 1–3 working days throughout Europe. Pack sizes: shirt hanger 100 pcs, clip and coat hanger 50 pcs. Payment by card or invoice. Prices excl. VAT.

Halifax covers the whole store: the shirt hanger for shirts and light outerwear, the clip hanger for trousers and skirts, the coat hanger with 35 mm curved shoulder for jackets and coats. York is the alternative when you want a clip hanger with a slimmer look.

Logo on FSC hangers

All four FSC models can take a logo. The minimum is 300 hangers in total, and you can mix models, e.g. 200 shirt hangers and 100 coat hangers. You choose between pad printing in 1 or 2 colours and laser engraving. On natural beech the laser comes into its own: the logo sits tone-on-tone, darker than the wood around it, and cannot wear off.

The logo is a surcharge per hanger, from €1.00 for 1-colour print and €1.15 for laser at 300–499 pcs. The lead time is approx. 3 weeks from approved proof, and we reply within 1 working day. You can try the logo on the hanger in the The Logo Designer or see the full price list under stock hangers with logo.

All wooden models in FSC wood by custom production

If the hanger needs a specific shape, length, colour, lacquer or hook, we make it from scratch, and all our wooden models can be made in FSC-certified wood. FSC is a choice of material, not a limit on design.

The minimum is 500 pcs for coat hangers and 1,000 pcs for other models. The lead time is approx. 16–18 weeks. You receive a proof and a sample before production starts, and the FSC documentation comes with the delivery. Read more about custom-made hangers.
