A small decorative hook in high carbon steel for hangers, display fittings and retail presentation. It carries a modest load and is seen by the customer, which makes finish quality as important as strength.
High carbon wire gives useful strength in fine diameters, so the hook stays visually light while carrying its load.
Bright nickel, chrome and coloured coatings suit hooks that form part of a product's presentation.
Decorative hooks are seen side by side on a display, so shape variation is immediately visible. Machine forming avoids it.
Pack decorative hooks so they do not rub in transit. Surface marking on a bright finish is the most common cause of rejection at incoming inspection.

Against a moulded plastic hook, a steel decorative hook carries far more load for a given size and looks like hardware rather than packaging.
Tell us the load and we will size the wire. Decorative does not mean it is not carrying anything.
Yes. Where a display uses several finishes, they are sampled together so the family looks consistent.
Production covers 0.1 mm upwards. Appearance and strength usually decide the size long before the process does.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
