I do NOT know the answer nor why I asked myself this question today but why do some wire hangers have paper? What purpose does it serve?
I tried google and Wikipedia but still stumped!

    I don't know why, but I always assumed the paper was there so the metal hanger didn't get rust on your clothes

    Interesting definitions for "paper hanger" (which have nothing to do with your question...)

    This is the answer; not so much for rust but to cover cheap wire hangers that can damage certain fabrics over time

    So the front and the back of your garment doesn't get all wrinklyass. And also, don't use those hangers if your mom is Joan Crawford.

    They're called caped hangers and dry cleaners use them to protect the customers' clothes and sometimes print their logo on them

    You're making that up.

    Thanks, advertising logo makes sense.

    Maybe Caped Crusaders use only caped hangers?
