What you need to know
Door hangers are designed to be hung on door knobs or lever handles. The standard 3.5×11" size includes a die-cut hole (typically 1.5" diameter) positioned about 1" from the top. Some designs use a hook slot instead of a round hole. The area above the die-cut is essentially wasted on one side, so put your key message below it.
The tall, narrow format gives you plenty of vertical space for messaging. The top section (below the die-cut) should feature your strongest headline and image. The middle section is for details — services, offers, pricing. The bottom section works well for a tear-off coupon, QR code, or contact information.
Door hangers are printed on heavy cardstock (300-350 GSM) and usually have a UV or aqueous coating for weather resistance, since they're exposed to outdoor conditions. Double-sided printing is standard — use the back for additional details, a map, or a coupon.
