Product description
The submitted sample is identified as Cushy Covers, Item No: CC501. This item is comprised of 18 hanger covers, packaged for retail sale, that are each made of expanded polyethylene (EPE) plastic foam material. Each cover is in the form of tubing that is slit on one side to facilitate the insertion of the part of the hanger to be covered. Hangers are not included in the importation. There are three different lengths in each retail package: 6 covers that each measure approximately 15¼” in length (identified as “full length”), 8 covers that each measure approximately 7¾” in length (identified as “half length”) and 4 covers that each measure approximately 1¾” in length (identified as “little bits”). Three of the full length covers and four of the half length covers each measure approximately 1¼” in diameter and are of light blue color. The other three of the full length covers and the other four of the half length covers each measure approximately 1” in diameter and are of tan color. All four of the little bit covers measure approximately 1” in diameter and are of tan color. This item is also imported in packages of 26 covers and 32 covers. It is also imported in four different colors and four different widths, ranging from ¾” in diameter to 1½” in diameter. The covers are designed to secure clothes and accessories on hangers, thereby preventing these articles from sliding off of the hangers that are so covered. The covers also assist in keeping the garments that will be hung on covered hangers wrinkle free during travel. The covers are waterproof to enable wet garments that are hung on covered hangers to dry. As you requested, the sample will be returned to you.
