Design Tips
- →The die-cut hanger hole is typically 1.5 in (38 mm) wide and 2.5 in (64 mm) tall, centred 0.5 in from the top of the 3.5 × 11 in card. Allow 2.75 in (70 mm) of clear space at the top of your design.
- →The visible area when hung is the lower portion of the card — design your main headline and offer in the lower 70% of the 3.5 × 11 in layout.
- →Print on 14–16 pt card stock with a UV coating — door hangers face outdoor weather exposure and need protection against moisture and sun fading.
- →Door hangers are a high-response local marketing format — include a scannable QR code and a strong time-limited offer to increase response rates.
