Door Hanger Templates for Business, Real Estate and Hotels

Door Hangers for Work and Home

Designing for a Small Shape

A standard door hanger is about 4.25 by 11 inches, with a circle or slot cut for the knob. The top area near the hole is easily hidden, so keep the key message in the middle or lower part. Use a short headline of five words or fewer, one image and a clear phone number or QR code. Leave room around the hole so text is not cut off.

Real Estate Hangers That Work

Agents use hangers to announce new listings, price changes and open houses. Include a photo of the property, the price and the key details such as bedrooms and bathrooms, plus the agent's photo and phone number. A line such as "Neighbors, tell your friends" turns homeowners into advocates. Always check local rules before distributing printed material to private doors.

Hotel and Hospitality Hangers

Two-sided hangers show Do Not Disturb on one side and Please Make Up Room on the other. Breakfast order hangers let guests tick the dishes and delivery time, then hang the card outside the door before bed. Keep the type large and the choices clear so guests can use them half asleep.

How to Print and Finish

1. Download the PDF and print on card stock of 250 to 300 gsm.
2. Cut along the outline using a craft knife or ask a print shop to die cut.
3. Cut out the hole and slit with a sharp blade or a hole punch.
4. Test one on a real door handle before printing a large batch.
5. Store them flat to avoid curling.

Distribution Etiquette

• Respect no soliciting signs and local laws on leaflets.
• Hang them on door handles, never push them into letter boxes marked for official mail.
• Deliver in daylight and in areas where your services are available.
• Track responses with a code, for example Mention HANGER for a discount.

Choosing Offers That Fit a Door Hanger

Because hangers go to people who did not ask for them, the offer must be easy to understand and worth acting on. A free estimate, a first visit discount or a limited time price works best. Keep the offer on the front and the details on the back, and include a deadline so people respond quickly.
