Custom hangers made of different materials each have their unique characteristics. Understanding these characteristics is key to customizing high-quality hangers. Drawing on years of experience in manufacturing customized hangers, Dadi has gain a lot of experiences of dealing with different material.

Cedar Hangers

    Wooden hangers made of cedar are a popular choice in the high-end house ware  hanger market due to their light weight, natural fragrance, and anti-corrosion and insect-repellent properties. However, it has comparatively more knots than other wood. Live knots in the cedar wood is usually not considered as quality issues because if all the knots are taken away, there will be too much waste. Also, the white cedar frost on the surface is not mouldy. In fact, these are all inherent characteristics of cedar: the wood is not entirely pink, but contains natural white textures; the cedar frost is not mouldy, but precisely the source of its fragrance and anti-corrosion effect. 

    Based on these characteristics of cedar, Dadi adopts the following two approaches when crafting cedar hangers:

1. Communication: Before production, our team explains the properties of cedar to customers. Previously, a customer sold cedar hangers customized by Dadi on their online store. As they failed to specify these properties on the product page in advance, they received a large number of inquiries regarding “whether cedar frost is harmful”. After subsequently adding the explanation that “cedar frost is not mouldy, has no effect on clothes, and can be easily wiped off with a soft cloth”, the number of inquiries decreased drastically.
2. Refined Processing: Although many clients express acceptance of live knots in the wood, to minimize potential disputes, we use a very special way to mend the live knots. This process involves carefully removing knots and seamlessly patching the area, followed by sanding the surface to a smooth finish.

Prevention of Wood Moisture and Mold Issues

    Mold growth on hangers during the rainy season is a common problem in the hanger industry. The root causes lie in the following: humidity can be 90% or higher in rainy season in the production area for hangers. So it’s very hard to keep the material’s humidity within acceptable range as it absorbs water from air during production. 

    To avoid such issues, Dadi strictly controls every step of the hanger production process when manufacturing hangers:

1. The moisture content of the wood used for hangers must be kept below 12 degrees. For bleached hangers, the moisture content must reach 8-12 degrees before they can leave the drying room. Also, we need to check all corners of the drying room to make sure no part is exceptional.
2. If semi-finished hangers can’t be processed on time, they need to be dehumidified for at least one night before we process them again.
3. After the water-based paint of the hangers is completed, the hangers should either be air-dried on the static machine for more than 12 hours (with fans to speed up drying) or hung in the de-humidification room for one night.
4. The warehouse has dehumidification equipment. If finished hangers are packed but not shipped for more than a week, they need to be put back in the dehumidification room for treatment. This stops the hangers from getting moldy.
5. Conduct multiple spot checks for humidity at key stages of production, during assembly, after packing, and prior to shipment.

    From understanding the characteristics of wood to controlling moisture throughout the process, Dadi always focuses on mastering details. We avoid quality risks of custom wooden hangers in all aspects, from communicating custom requirements to carrying out production. If you need custom hangers, you can choose Dadi with confidence. We will use our professional experience to create high-quality custom wooden hanger products for you.

大地经验说：小心定制衣架的材质陷阱

       不同材质的定制衣架各有其独特特性，精准掌握并合理应对，是定制出高质量衣架的关键。大地结合多年制作定制衣架经验，为您着重分析定制木衣架在木材层面的需注意的事项。

雪松衣架特性及处理方法

       雪松制成的木衣架因质轻、自带天然芳香且防腐驱虫，是衣橱衣架市场的热门选择，但它的天然属性经常引起误解。据同事反馈，曾有客户收到雪松衣架后，误将木材活结当作质量问题，把表面白色松霜认成发霉，险些投诉—— 其实这些都是雪松自身特性：木质非全粉红色，含自然白色纹理；松霜非霉变，正是其芳香与防腐的来源。

       针对雪松这些特性，大地在制作雪松衣架时会做以下两点：

1. 提前沟通：定制前，我们的团队会向客户解释雪松的特性。此前有客户网店售卖从大地定制的雪松衣架，因未提前在商品页面说明，收到大量 “松霜是否有害” 的咨询，后续补充 “松霜非发霉，对衣物无影响，用软布即可擦除” 的说明后，咨询量骤降。
2. 精细处理：尽管很多客户表示可接受活结，但为减少争议，我们制作时多采用挖补方式处理，处理后将衣架表面打磨光滑。

木材湿度与发霉问题防范

       雨季衣架发霉是衣架行业常见痛点。究其原因就在于：定制衣架木材干湿度不达标、接触潮湿空气返潮、喷漆后水分没散掉就装箱、仓储环境潮湿。

      为避免这类问题，大地在制作衣架时，严格把握生产的每个流程：

1. 衣架的木材湿度控制在 12 度以下，漂白类的衣架更是要达到 8-12 度才能出烤房，且需在烤房各个角落抽查，防止局部湿度超标；这样可以确保即使返潮，衣架成品的湿度也在国标范围以内；
2. 未能及时生产的衣架半成品，再次加工前需抽湿至少一晚；
3. 衣架的水性漆面漆完工后，要么在静电机上晾 12 小时以上（配合风扇加速干燥），要么下挂进抽湿房抽湿一晚；
4. 仓库配备抽湿设备，成品入箱后若超过 1 周未发货，需重新放进抽湿房处理，切断衣架发霉隐患；
5. 生产关键环节、组装前、装箱后、发货前多次抽查湿度。

      从木材的特性掌握到湿度的全程管控，大地始终以细节把控为核心，从定制需求沟通到生产落地，全方位规避定制木衣架的品质风险。若您有定制衣架需求，可放心选择大地，我们将以专业经验为您打造高品质的定制木衣架产品。
