Best Use Cases by Industry
Door hangers work across industries. Here's how different businesses use them to generate leads and drive foot traffic.
HVAC, pest control, landscaping, cleaning, and roofing companies rely on door hangers as their primary prospecting tool. A well-designed hanger left on every door in a target neighborhood generates consistent, measurable leads. Endurace stock ensures they stay intact through any weather.
Electricians, plumbers, painters, and general contractors leave door hangers in neighborhoods where they're working. A hanger that says 'We just worked on your neighbor's home' is one of the highest-converting cold outreach formats in the trades.
Delivery and takeout promotions, grand opening announcements, and new menu launches. A door hanger with a first-order coupon or free delivery code drives immediate action. Tear-off hangers with a detachable coupon increase redemption rates significantly.
New client promotions, seasonal service packages, and grand opening campaigns. A beautifully designed hanger with a tear-off discount card converts to new appointments. Leave them in apartment complexes and neighborhoods near your salon.
Chiropractic offices, dental practices, physical therapy, and wellness centers use door hangers for new patient acquisition in nearby neighborhoods. Include your accepting-new-patients message, insurance info, and a QR code to book an appointment.
Grand openings, seasonal sales, and loyalty program launches. A targeted neighborhood door hanger campaign can drive hundreds of first-time visits. Tear-off coupons turn the hanger into a trackable promotional tool.
Just listed, just sold, and open house invitations in a neighborhood are ideally delivered as door hangers. A 4.25×11 format gives you room for a property photo, key details, and your contact information — everything a neighbor needs to know.
Candidate introductions, ballot measure awareness, and community event invitations. Door hangers are the most efficient door-to-door canvassing tool available. Endurace stock holds up in any weather for multi-day canvassing efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering door hangers from Catdi Printing.
A door hanger is a printed marketing piece with a die-cut hole at the top designed to hang on a door knob or handle. They are typically 3.5×8.5 inches and printed on heavy cardstock with full-color graphics on one or both sides. Door hangers are one of the most effective direct marketing tools for local businesses because they reach residents directly at their homes with no postal costs.
Endurace is a weather-resistant synthetic material that won't warp, absorb moisture, or tear in the elements. If your door hangers will be placed on doors that are exposed to rain, humidity, or direct sunlight — or if they may stay on doors for more than a day — Endurace is worth the upgrade. For indoor-only uses like apartment complexes or quick in-and-out campaigns, standard cardstock is fine.
Tear-off door hangers have a perforated section at the bottom that recipients can detach and keep. The tear-off portion is typically used for a coupon code, discount offer, loyalty punch card, appointment reminder card, or contact card. The interactive element significantly increases engagement rates — people are far more likely to keep a hanger that has a take-away piece. The tear-off typically measures about 3.5×3.5 inches.
The standard door hanger size is 3.5×8.5 inches with a 1.25" die-cut hole at the top. This format fits all standard residential door knobs and handles. A larger 4.25×11 inch format is also available when you need more design space — useful for menus, detailed service descriptions, or when the tear-off section needs more room.
For a neighborhood campaign, estimate one hanger per home you plan to reach. A typical residential street has 20–40 homes. A city block can range from 50 to 200+ homes. For reference: 500 door hangers cover roughly 5–10 city blocks. 1000 covers a small neighborhood. 5000 covers a substantial portion of most small towns. Order more than you think you need — the per-piece price drops significantly at higher quantities.
Yes — printing on both sides is typically worth the added cost. Use the front for your main marketing message and visual impact, and use the back for detailed information: service list, pricing, FAQ, testimonials, or a map to your location. Double-sided printing makes the hanger more useful and reduces the chance it gets discarded immediately.
Submit a press-ready PDF with 0.125" bleed on all sides. For tear-off door hangers, include the perforation line as a non-printing guideline in your file. Your artwork must be in CMYK color mode at 300 DPI minimum. We provide templates with the die-cut hole marked — design around it, leaving at least 0.5" of non-critical content around the hole area.
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days after artwork approval. Rush options are available at checkout. Endurace and tear-off variants may require one additional production day due to the specialty stock or perforation process. Add shipping transit time (typically 2–5 days for ground shipping) to your total delivery estimate.
We handle all printing and shipping. Door-to-door distribution is handled by you or a local distribution service. If you're using door hangers for an EDDM-style campaign, consider our EDDM postcard service for a fully managed mailing solution through USPS.
