Hangerpak

While looking through some blogs online I came across a design created by a student named Steve Haslip which is a box that also acts as a hanger. He came up with this idea because when orders t-shirts online they always came to him wrinkled and he would always run out of coat hangers. So by killing two birds with one stone he came up with a solution.  

So he designed a sustainable, reusable way to send and keep your t-shirts. As you open the package you create a coat hanger. The packaging could be made from recycled material whether it is card or plastic and the only waste is the green tear-away tab.This project won a FIRST prize in the D&AD Student Awards 2007 category 'What else do you do?'. 

 

 

In my opinion I like the idea for years coat hangers have been synonymous with plastic and metal wiring making it out of card is a step foward to future of saving the environment. I like the sleek design he has created for the hanger as well as the self assembly required to make the hanger from the box, which means the box doesn't just get thrown away and this way you know that you will never run out of coat hangers.
