Door Hangers
ART:
Customer must supply appropriately sized print-ready art for any images and logos they wish to use on the product. Editing of customer supplied artwork will be at an additional cost.
Door Hangers are flyers that have a 1.25″ diameter circle cut out with an accompanying slit that allows them to hang on a doorknob. They are very common in guerilla marketing campaigns, as they nearly guarantee customer interaction.
Marketing Tips
Door Hangers are used to spread a consistent message or campaign through a desired area. They are commonly used for restaurant delivery menus, advertising services and products, or political campaigns. It’s hard for people to miss a hanger on the door when they come home, so this is a high-visibility marketing solution. Door Hangers often include discounts, coupons, or special offers.

File Preparation
In order to ensure your files are print-ready, we recommend that you upload them in PDF format. When you generate a print-ready PDF, your computer will use the settings in Adobe Acrobat Distiller or any other PDF generating programs you may use. Please make sure that these are set properly before generating your PDF file.
We also accept .JPG (JPEG), .EPS and .TIF (TIFF) file types, however PDF is the preferred format.
Check your file to make sure it meets our file creation guidelines. This will help speed up the production of your project and give your printed piece the best results.
- Use the CMYK colorspace (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK). These are industry standard printing colors. CMYK colors are different than RGB (Red, Green, Blue), which are used to display colors on your screen.
- Use a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for image files.
- Specify trim area with crop marks. (Don’t place crop marks inside the work area.)
- Artwork should have 1/8″ (0.125″) bleed extending past the trim line. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
- Safe Area is the 1/8″ (0.125″) area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
- If you want printed borders, they must be placed a minimum of 1/8″ (0.125″) inside the trim line and include bleed. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
