Pad printing or laser? How to choose a logo on hangers

A logo on a hanger is a small area, but it sits right where the customer grabs it. On our warehouse hangers, the logo can be applied in two ways: pad printing in your color or laser engraving into the wood. Here's the difference and how you choose.
  • Same framework for both: minimum 300 hangers in total, models can be mixed, approximately 3 weeks from approved proof, response within 1 working day.
  • Pad printing provides the logo in 1–2 Pantone colors and is suitable for white and black hangers. From DKK 7.50 per piece excl. VAT.
  • Laser is permanent and colorless, tone-on-tone in the wood, and is best suited for natural wood. From DKK 8.50 per piece.

Two methods, same minimum and delivery time

Regardless of the method, the same framework applies. 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 delivery time is typically approx. 3 weeks from the time you have approved the proof. The logo can be on one or both sides.

The choice between printing and laser is not about time or quantity. It's about expression and the color of the hoop.

Pad printing: the logo in your color

With pad printing, the color is transferred to the hoop with a soft silicone pad that follows the curved shape of the hoop. The design is placed as a depression in a printing plate, the ink is applied, excess color is scraped off, and the pad lifts the motif and places it precisely on the wood. This is why the method also works on varnished and rounded surfaces, where regular printing would rub off.

We print in 1 or 2 colors, and each color is a separate run. The colors 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:

  • The logo must be in the brand's own color,
  • the hanger is white or black, and the logo must be in contrast (black on white, white or gold on black),
  • The logo consists of a maximum of two colors.

If the logo has multiple colors or color transitions, we typically create a 1- or 2-color version. You will see this in the proof before anything is printed.

Laser engraving: the logo becomes part of the wood

Laser engraving does not use any color. The laser marks the surface itself, so the logo is permanent and cannot be worn off. The result is tone-in-tone: the logo is a different shade than the surface around it, typically darker on natural wood. Exactly how depends on the type of wood and surface.

Laser is the right choice when:

  • The hanger is made of natural wood, and you want a discreet, handcrafted look,
  • the logo must last for many years with daily handling,
  • You don't need a specific brand color.

Four questions that will decide the election

1. Should the logo have a specific color?
Yes: pad printing. No: both methods can be used.
2. What color is the hanger?
White and black make room for a printed logo in a contrasting color. Natural wood is where laser comes into its own.
3. How many colors does the logo have?
One or two: print. Several: a simplified version in print, or laser without color.
4. What is the budget?
The difference between 1-color printing and laser is 1 krone per hanger for 300 pieces. See the table.

What does it cost?

The logo is an additional charge per hanger on top of the hanger's own price. The prices are exclusive of VAT and apply to the logo on one side:

QuantityPrint 1 colorPrint 2 colorsLaser
300–499 pcs.1,00 €1,61 €8.50 kr.
500–999 pcs.0,8 €1,20 €1,00 €
1,000–1,999 pcs.0,66 €1,00 €6.00 kr.
2,000+ pcs.0,55 €0,94 €5.30 kr.

An example calculation: 300 shirt hangers for 8.50 DKK with 1-color print on one side gives 16.00 DKK per hanger, 4,800 DKK excluding VAT for the entire order. Logo on both sides costs from 12.00 DKK per piece with 1-color print and from 14.50 DKK with laser for 300 pieces. The full price list is below stock hangers with logo.

Laser is permanent because the logo is embedded in the wood. Pad printing is on the surface and will last for many years of daily handling, but can wear down with hard use over a long period of time. If the hangers are to last a very long time, laser is the safe choice.
