This guide covers stock, die-cut specs, Free Design Setup, and FAQ. On a deadline? Use the calculator above, upload art or request design help, and approve your digital proof before print.
Restaurants, cleaners, realtors, and political campaigns still win with door-to-door visibility. We built this page for teams that need hangers tomorrow, not three weeks from a distant plant.
Gang-run and digital production keep per-piece pricing practical on 14pt and 16pt stocks. Every order gets a digital proof. We check hook placement, offer legibility at arm's length, and bleed on full-color backgrounds.
Free Design Setup covers layout, photo cleanup, QR codes, and file conversion. Upload print-ready art or send a logo and bullet points. Approve your proof, then we print and ship on the schedule you choose.
Send your logo, offer headline, phone number, and map graphic. We design for quick scanning from the sidewalk: big type, high contrast, and a clear call to action above the fold.
Need a perforated coupon stub or second message on the back? We lay out both sides and show the hook clearance on your proof. Already have a flyer design? We adapt it to door hanger proportions at no extra charge.
14pt gloss cover is the standard for bright offers and photo-heavy layouts. 16pt matte adds stiffness when hangers stay on doors for several days or survive light rain.
The 4.25x11 inch format fits most residential knobs and hooks. UV or AQ coating helps resist scuffs in delivery bags and on door handles. We confirm die-cut hook position on every proof.
Home services use hangers for seasonal promos and new-customer discounts. Realtors announce open houses on surrounding blocks. Restaurants push delivery and catering to office parks.
Political and nonprofit teams pair door hangers with volunteer routes because every piece is seen at the door, not buried in a mail stack. Our team helps you pick stock and coating for your distribution plan.
We have put together all the needed guideline templates for common door hanger sizes and shapes available at CheapRUSHprinting.com. Click to download your template and start building your design on top of it. Remember to keep files in CMYK at 300+ DPI and follow trim/safe area guides.
Price depends on quantity, stock weight, coating type, and your selected turnaround tier. Use the calculator on this page for your exact total including shipping to your zip code. Bulk runs lower the per-piece cost sharply: a 5,000-piece campaign typically costs a fraction of a 250-piece test route on the same stock and coating.
4.25x11 inches is the industry standard format with a die-cut hook at the top for residential and commercial door knobs. The proportions offer enough vertical space for a bold headline, offer details, phone number, and a QR code while fitting standard knob hardware across most homes and commercial buildings.
14pt gloss cover is the most popular choice for vibrant color and everyday neighborhood distribution. Choose 16pt matte cardstock when you need extra stiffness for outdoor campaigns, doors exposed to direct sun, or when hangers must stay on knobs for multiple days without curling or losing shape.
Yes. Standard door hangers include a die-cut hook cutout sized for typical residential and commercial door knobs. We show exact hook placement and clearance on your digital proof before printing so you can confirm the hook aligns with your artwork and does not obscure the headline or contact block.
Yes. Free Design Setup is included on qualifying orders. Send your logo, offer headline, phone number, and any photos or map graphics. Our designers build a print-ready layout with high contrast and quick-scan visual hierarchy, then email you a digital proof for approval before any production begins.
Door hangers are highly effective for local outreach because they are placed directly on every door you target, bypassing crowded mailboxes entirely. Restaurants, home service companies, event promoters, and political campaigns use them for neighborhood saturation. Add a QR code offer for measurable campaign results and digital lead capture.
Yes. Back-side printing is a common and effective option for maps, menus, coupons, or secondary offers. Select two-sided printing in the calculator and upload art for both sides, or request Free Design Setup and our team will design both panels with consistent branding and clear layout on each side.
Standard production begins after you approve your digital proof and typically ships within a few business days. Rush and express production tiers appear in the calculator when your event or campaign date is tight. Carrier transit is additional and depends on your destination zip code and selected shipping speed.
Yes, always. We email a digital proof for every door hanger order before production starts. Review hook clearance, phone numbers, discount expiration dates, QR code accuracy, and bleed on full-color backgrounds before approving. We do not print until you send written approval, protecting you from errors on large runs.
Bleed is artwork extended 0.125 inch past the trim line on all four sides so the printed piece looks clean after cutting, with no white edges showing. Keep critical text, phone numbers, and your main offer inside the safe zone, which is at least 0.125 inch in from all trim edges.
Minimum quantities vary by stock and coating selection. Enter your quantity in the calculator to see pricing across small test routes, mid-size campaigns, and full-scale distribution runs. Many clients start with 250 to 500 pieces to test messaging on a single route before scaling to thousands of pieces.
Yes. Agents use door hangers for just-listed announcements, just-sold results, and open house invitations on surrounding blocks. Photo-heavy layouts print crisply on 14pt gloss stock and help buyers recognize a face and a property quickly. Add a QR code linking to the listing for digital follow-through.
Yes. We print in Florida and ship finished door hanger orders to all 50 states. Enter your zip code during checkout to see carrier transit estimates and available shipping speed options. Rush shipping upgrades are available for tight campaign launch dates alongside rush production tiers.
Gloss cardstock makes photos and bold headlines pop visually and is the most common finish for door hanger campaigns. Matte cardstock reduces glare under direct sunlight and feels more substantial in hand. Add UV coating to either finish when hangers may be exposed to morning dew or light rain during distribution.
Perforated tear-off stubs are available on select formats and add trackable coupon value to your campaign. Ask our team to confirm dimensions and perforation placement before ordering so the tear line aligns correctly with your design layout. We show perforation position on the digital proof for your review.
Print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and CMYK color at 300 DPI is the ideal format. We also accept Adobe Illustrator AI files, layered Photoshop PSD, and high-resolution JPG or PNG. Vector files produce the sharpest edges on type and line art, especially important for phone numbers and QR codes.
No. Our competitive pricing comes from efficient gang-run production scheduling, not reduced paper weight. You receive real 14pt or 16pt cover stock, calibrated CMYK color output, and human proof review on every order. Low price means smart production scheduling, not cutting corners on materials or quality checks.
Yes. Send your existing flyer, postcard, or brand guidelines and we adapt the layout to door hanger proportions while keeping your fonts, color palette, and logo treatment intact. Free Design Setup handles the conversion at no extra charge, giving you a consistent look across all formats in your campaign.
Photos, backgrounds, and raster graphics should be 300 DPI at final print size for sharp, professional output. Images pulled from websites are often 72 DPI and will print soft and blurry. We flag any low-resolution images on your digital proof before production so you have time to provide better files.
No hidden setup fees apply to standard door hanger orders. Free Design Setup and digital proof review are included on qualifying jobs. The price shown in the calculator is your print total. Rush handling and premium coatings are optional add-ons listed clearly before you confirm your order and pay.
Production is the time from proof approval until your order is packed and picked up by the carrier. Carrier transit is the additional days for the shipment to reach your address. Both timelines are displayed separately at checkout so you can plan your distribution schedule and crew logistics with confidence.
Rush production tiers are available in the calculator when the schedule permits. Approve your digital proof as early in the business day as possible so production can start the same morning. Early proof approval combined with express shipping is the fastest path to finished hangers on your doorstep.
Door hangers reach specific streets without postage costs but need a distribution crew to hang each piece. EDDM postcards reach every mailbox on a carrier route through USPS for a flat rate. Many local campaigns combine both formats, using hangers for dense blocks and postcards for outlying addresses.
Yes. We place and visually test QR codes on your digital proof so they scan reliably at arm's length from a doorstep or sidewalk. Link to a landing page, menu, coupon, or contact form. QR codes improve campaign measurability compared to phone-number-only calls to action on door hangers.
UV gloss coating adds a hard, scuff-resistant surface that repels light moisture and handles outdoor sun better than uncoated stock. AQ aqueous coating is slightly softer but still meaningful protection for overnight distribution. Both are listed in the calculator. Choose UV for maximum durability on exposed door handles.
