In 2025, HangersSupplier, a leading global wooden hanger manufacturer, successfully completed a large-scale international project involving a 40ft SOC (Shipper’s Own Container) shipment from Tianjin Port, China, to Montreal, Canada. This case highlights the company’s strong OEM customization capabilities, efficient supply chain management, and reliable global logistics solutions.
Client Background & Project Goals
The client, a premium Canadian fashion retail chain, operates more than 80 stores across major cities. As part of a brand upgrade initiative, they aimed to replace all existing plastic hangers with high-end customized wooden hangers to enhance their in-store presentation and customer experience.
The client required:
- Custom logo engraved wooden hangers
- Multiple finishes (natural wood, walnut, matte black)
- Anti-slip design for suits and heavy garments
- Uniform sizing for visual merchandising consistency
With an initial demand exceeding 180,000 units, the client needed a manufacturer capable of handling bulk production while ensuring consistent quality and on-time delivery.
Why the Client Chose HangersSupplier
The client selected HangersSupplier due to its strong reputation as a professional wooden hanger manufacturer and global supplier, offering:
- Over 15 years of OEM/ODM production experience
- Advanced automated production lines
- Strict quality control systems
- Extensive export experience to North America and Europe
More importantly, HangersSupplier provided a one-stop solution, covering design, production, packaging, and international shipping coordination.
Customization & Production Process
1. Rapid Design & Sampling
HangersSupplier completed the design phase within one week:
- Provided detailed 3D renderings
- Delivered physical samples with precise logo engraving
- Offered multiple coating and color options
This efficient sampling process helped the client quickly finalize specifications.
2. Scalable Mass Production
The factory demonstrated excellent production capacity:
- Daily output of 15,000–20,000 wooden hangers
- Automated polishing, painting, and engraving systems
- Moisture-controlled drying process to prevent deformation
Each batch underwent strict inspections to ensure durability, finish consistency, and structural strength.
3. Packaging Optimization for Export
To maximize container efficiency:
- Hangers were packed in high-strength export cartons
- Each carton contained 100–120 units
- Total loading volume reached approximately 70 CBM in a 40ft container
This optimized packaging significantly reduced per-unit shipping costs.

For this project, HangersSupplier recommended using a 40ft SOC container, which provided key advantages:
