3.5 × 8.5 door hanger FAQs

What size should my 3.5 × 8.5 door hanger file be?

Build the file at 3.75 × 8.75 inches: the 3.5 × 8.5 trim plus 0.125 inch of bleed on every edge. Keep text and logos 0.125 inch inside the trim, and keep the top clear for the hanger cut.

Where is the tear-off on a 3.5 × 8.5 door hanger?

The perforation runs 2 inches from the bottom edge (some papers also offer 2 inches from the right edge). Put the coupon, phone number or business card below that line.

Can USPS deliver door hangers?

No. Door hangers are printed and shipped to you, and you deliver them by hand. Federal law reserves the mailbox for postage-paid mail, so hang them on the door handle and never in or on the mailbox. If you want USPS to deliver to every home on a route, use Every Door Direct Mail postcards or flyers instead.

What sizes do door hangers come in?

3.5 × 8.5, 4.25 × 11, 4.25 × 14, 4 × 7 and 3.5 × 11 inches. 4.25 × 11 is the classic size; 3.5 × 8.5 is the compact, lower-cost choice; 4.25 × 14 gives the most room.

What is a tear-off door hanger?

A door hanger with a perforated strip 2 inches from the edge. The resident tears off the strip, which can carry a coupon, a business card or an appointment reminder, and keeps it.

Which paper should I choose?

14 pt card is the most popular: thick enough to stay put on the handle. 16 pt is stiffer. 100 lb gloss text and cover are lighter and lower in price. 10 pt EndurACE is a synthetic sheet that resists tearing and water. Choose UV front only or an uncoated finish if you want to write on the back.

What hanger shapes are available?

Standard (a round hole with a slit), arch top and starburst top. All three slip over a standard door handle.

How should I set up my file?

Build the file at the finished size plus 0.125 inch of bleed on every edge, keep text 0.125 inch inside the trim, and keep the top of the piece clear for the hanger cut. A person checks every file and you approve a proof before anything prints.

How long does production take?

Standard production is shown for each quantity in the configurator, usually a few business days, with faster options on many quantities. Production starts after you approve your proof; shipping time is added at checkout.

Is sales tax added?

Only on orders shipped to TX, CA, FL, OH, NJ and AZ, at that state's rate, on printing and shipping. Orders shipped to the other 44 states pay no sales tax. Door hangers are not mailed, so USPS postage does not apply.
