Whatever the method, the same terms apply. The minimum is 300 hangers in total, and you can mix models, e.g. shirt hangers, clip hangers and coat hangers in the same order. The hangers are in stock in Denmark, printed or engraved there, and the lead time is typically approx. 3 weeks from your approval of the proof. The logo can sit on one or both sides.
So the choice between print and laser is not about time or quantity. It is about look and the colour of the hanger.
In pad printing the colour is transferred to the hanger with a soft silicone pad that follows the curved shape of the hanger. The design is etched into a printing plate, the ink is applied, excess ink is scraped off, and the pad lifts the motif and places it precisely on the wood. That is why the method also works on lacquered and rounded surfaces, where ordinary printing would smudge.
We print in 1 or 2 colours, and each colour is a separate pass. Colours are specified in Pantone Solid Coated. The standard palette includes Black C, White, Cool Gray 6 C, gold (871 C) and blue and red (286 C, 295 C and 485 C), and you can specify your own Pantone code.
Pad printing is the right choice when:
If the logo has more colours or gradients, we typically make a 1- or 2-colour version. You see it on the proof before anything is printed.
Laser engraving uses no colour. The laser marks the surface itself, so the logo is permanent and cannot wear off. The result is tone-on-tone: the logo appears in a different shade from the surface around it, typically darker on natural wood. Exactly how depends on the wood and the finish.
Laser is the right choice when:
The logo is a surcharge per hanger on top of the hanger's own price. Prices are excl. VAT and apply to a logo on one side:
| Quantity | Print 1 colour | Print 2 colours | Laser |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300–499 pcs | 1,00 € | 1,61 € | €1.15 |
| 500–999 pcs | 0,8 € | 1,20 € | 1,00 € |
| 1,000–1,999 pcs | 0,66 € | 1,00 € | €0.80 |
| 2,000+ pcs | 0,55 € | 0,94 € | €0.70 |
A worked example: 300 shirt hangers at €1.15 with 1-colour print on one side gives €2.15 per hanger, €645 excl. VAT for the whole order. A logo on both sides costs from €1.60 per pc with 1-colour print and from €1.95 with laser at 300 pcs. The full price list is under stock hangers with logo.
The easiest way is to try both methods on your own logo. In the The Logo Designer you upload the logo as PNG or SVG, place it on the hanger and switch between 1 colour, 2 colours and laser. The price is calculated as you go, and the setup fee is €0.
