Guides for dry cleaners & retailers

1) Measure the garment (not the hanger)

• Width: shoulder-to-shoulder at the widest point.
• Length: from the top of the hanger hook area to the bottom of the garment.
• Bulk: coats and layered items need extra room (gusset / wider bag).

2) Quick sizing rules (easy to remember)

• Bag width ≈ garment width + 4-6 inches (room for the hanger + movement).
• Bag length ≈ garment length + 4-8 inches (so hems don't press the bottom).
• Gusset: use gusseted bags for bulky winter coats, layered suits, or multiple items on one hanger.

3) Common use-cases (quick reference)

4) Choose the right thickness

For daily use, "standard" thickness is often enough. If customers transport garments long distance, or items are heavy/bulky, go thicker. Use the next guide for a simple thickness decision.

What "heavy" and "extra heavy" usually mean

• Heavy: a common choice for everyday handling (good balance of cost + durability).
• Extra heavy: higher puncture/tear resistance for sharper items, heavier loads, or rougher transport.

Thickness naming varies by supplier; always check the product's stated mil / gauge if you need a precise spec.

Pick "Heavy" when

• You're packing lightweight items (folded garments, liners, standard packaging).
• Orders are short-distance/local and handled gently.
• You want the best value for high monthly volume.

Pick "Extra Heavy" when

• Items have edges/corners (hangers in bulk, hardware, sharp boxed items).
• Loads are heavy or stacked in transit.
• Customers carry garments long distance or you need fewer tears/returns.

What “100% virgin material” usually means

• Cleaner clarity and more consistent thickness.
• Less odor and fewer visible contaminants.
• More predictable performance when sealing, tearing, and handling.

Note

Material and origin can vary by item. Check each product page for the specific details.

Quick buying checklist

• Use-case: daily store use vs delivery routes vs bulk packing.
• Thickness: “Heavy” for everyday, “Extra Heavy” for sharp edges / heavy loads.
• Clarity: clear presentation helps reduce mix-ups and improves customer experience.
• Finish: look for clean seals, low odor, and consistent tear lines.

Match hanger strength to garment weight

Use heavier hangers for suits/coats and lighter hangers for shirts. Stronger hangers reduce shoulder dents and breakage.

Strut hangers

Great all-purpose strength for daily dry-cleaning use.

Suit hangers

Wider shoulder support helps keep shape for jackets and suits.

Dress hangers

Smooth curves + notches help reduce slips and creases.

We Love Caped hangers

Premium cape hanger style for gowns and long garments that need stability.

Cape hangers

Good for capes/gowns and long garments that need stability.

Shirt hangers

Lightweight, high-volume option for shirts and tops.

Quick decision table

Step 1: Start with garments per day

Monthly garments = (average garments/day) x (operating days/month)

Example: 160 garments/day x 26 days = 4,160 garments/month

Step 2: Add "mix" by category

Most shops have a mix (example below). Adjust to match your business.

Step 3: Add a waste/redo buffer

• Recommended buffer: 5-12% (mis-bags, tears, rewraps, rush orders).
• Higher buffer if you do lots of delivery routes or high-volume weekends.

Monthly order quantity = estimated usage x (1 + buffer)

Step 4: Convert to a buying plan

• Daily staples (most common sizes): keep 2-4 weeks of stock.
• Specialty sizes (extra-long / gusset): keep 4-8 weeks of stock (lower volume).
• Delivery/transport businesses: plan extra for rewraps and heavier film.
