What Are Door Hangers Used For?
Door hangers work across a wide range of industries and campaigns:
- Real estate — letterbox-drop alternatives that attach directly to front doors, promoting open homes or recent sales in the area
- Hospitality — table promotions, daily specials, or QR code menus hung on chair backs or booth dividers
- Retail — in-store promotions attached to clothing racks, shelf edges, or fitting room doors
- Trades and services — leave-behinds after a visit to a neighbouring property ("We were working next door...")
- Events — room-specific instructions, welcome messages, or sponsor promotions at hotels and venues
- Not-for-profits — door-to-door campaign material that stays visible longer than a flyer
Door Hanger Shapes and Sizes
Inteliprint offers six door hanger shapes to suit different applications:
- Wedge — the classic shape with a rounded slot cut into the top corner. Available in six sizes from 106 x 150mm up to 106 x 300mm. The most popular choice for residential and commercial door-drop campaigns.
- Rectangle — clean, minimal, and easy to design for. Suits brands that want a structured, professional look.
- Capsule — rounded top and bottom for a softer, more contemporary feel. Popular with hospitality and lifestyle brands.
- Classic Hook — traditional elongated shape with a hook cutout. Maximum print real estate for information-heavy designs.
- Skinny Hook — a narrow, elegant version of the classic. Works well for upscale retail or event branding.
- Rear View Hanger — designed to hang from a rear-view mirror. Ideal for automotive, parking, or valet campaigns.
Paper Stock Options
Every door hanger is printed on heavy stock to ensure it hangs flat and holds its shape. Available options:
- Coated stocks — 350gsm Gloss, 350gsm Satin, 360gsm Hi Bulk, 400gsm Hi Bulk. Best for vibrant full-colour designs and photographic imagery.
- Uncoated stocks — 300gsm, 350gsm, and 400gsm DCP. A natural, tactile finish that suits hand-written-style or premium brand aesthetics.
- Recycled stocks — 300gsm and 350gsm Revive. For brands with sustainability credentials to communicate.
- Specialty — 300gsm Cast Coat, 235gsm Zenith 355u Satin Board, 270gsm Packaging Board. For premium or structural applications.
- Add celloglaze lamination (matt, gloss, or velvet) to either one or both sides for added durability and finish quality
Door Hangers vs Flyers — Which Is More Effective?
Both are cost-effective print marketing tools, but they work differently:
Placement: A flyer is placed in a letterbox or handed to someone directly — it competes with other mail and is easily set aside. A door hanger hangs from the door handle itself, making it the first thing someone sees when they approach
or leave their home or business.
Dwell time: A door hanger stays on the door until someone actively removes it. A flyer in a letterbox may sit unread for days or be discarded with junk mail.
Best for: Door hangers suit trades, real estate, and local service businesses targeting specific streets or suburbs. Flyers suit broader distribution campaigns, event promotion, and in-store handouts. If your campaign is street-specific
and you want guaranteed visibility, door hangers outperform flyers every time.
Door Hanger Design Tips
Lead with the benefit, not the business name — the top third of a door hanger is the most-read section. Use it for your strongest hook: "Free quote this week" or "Your neighbour just had their driveway done" lands better than a logo.
Include a clear call to action — phone number, QR code, or website in large, readable type. The goal is a call or a visit, so make the next step obvious.
Use both sides — double-sided printing costs little extra and doubles your content area. Use the front for the hook and the back for credentials, testimonials, or service details.
Choose a heavier stock for outdoor campaigns — if door hangers will be left on external doors and exposed to weather, 360gsm or 400gsm Hi Bulk stock holds up far better than 350gsm. Add matt or velvet celloglaze for extra durability.
Size for your content — the 106 x 150mm wedge is the most popular and most cost-effective. If you need more space for text or a larger image, step up to 106 x 210mm or 106 x 250mm rather than cramming content into a smaller format.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a door hanger?
A door hanger is a printed card with a hole, slot, or hook cutout at the top that allows it to hang from a door handle or knob. They're used as marketing collateral, promotional notices, or informational leave-behinds — and unlike flyers, they can't
be walked past without being seen.
What size are door hangers?
The most common size is 106 x 150mm (wedge shape), but Inteliprint offers wedge door hangers up to 106 x 300mm. Rectangle, capsule, classic hook, skinny hook, and rear-view hanger shapes are also available in a range of dimensions.
What's the difference between a door hanger and a flyer?
A flyer is a flat sheet handed directly to someone or placed in a letterbox. A door hanger has a cutout that allows it to hang from a door handle, making it more likely to be seen and held onto — it stays on the door until someone actively removes
it.
What paper stock should I use?
For most marketing campaigns, 350gsm Gloss or 350gsm Satin coated stock is the right choice — it's sturdy, takes colour well, and hangs flat. If you want a premium tactile feel, 350gsm DCP uncoated or velvet celloglaze laminate is worth the upgrade.
For eco-conscious brands, 350gsm Revive recycled stock prints beautifully.
Can I print multiple designs in one order?
Yes. Inteliprint supports up to 30 different designs in a single order run, with the total quantity split across designs. This is ideal for suburb-specific campaigns, different product promotions, or A/B testing creative.
How long does printing take?
Standard turnaround is 4 business days from artwork approval, with Australia-wide delivery after that.
Do you provide design templates?
Yes — templates for each shape and size are available in the Templates section above. All artwork must include bleed and crop marks, or select the "Please Add Bleed and/or Resize" option at checkout and the team will handle it.
What is the best size for a door hanger?
The 106 x 150mm wedge is the most popular size — compact enough to be cost-effective in large quantities, large enough to carry a clear message, logo, and call to action. For trades and services needing more content space, 106 x 210mm or 106 x 250mm give additional room without the door hanger becoming unwieldy. The wedge shape is the most recognisable and practical for door handle placement.
Are door hangers effective for marketing?
Yes — door hangers have one of the highest read rates of any physical marketing format because they can't be ignored. Unlike letterbox flyers that compete with junk mail, a door hanger hangs directly from the door handle and must be physically removed before entering the property. Trades, real estate agents, and local service businesses consistently report strong response rates from door hanger campaigns targeting specific streets or suburbs.
