Christmas Door Hangers

What Are Christmas Door Hangers?

Christmas door hangers are tall die-cut cards with a doorknob cutout that hang on a door, printed full color on 14pt or 16pt gloss cover in 4 sizes and finished with a High Gloss UV Coating. People reach for them when a mailer or flyer would get ignored: holiday store promotions, hotel guest greetings, church service invitations, neighborhood service campaigns, and seasonal offers dropped door to door. Because the cutout slips over any handle, the festive front sits at eye level instead of buried in a mailbox. If you want the same spec with a different holiday look, the Christmas Tree Door Hangers and Christmas Truck Door Hanger sit right beside this one.

Christmas Door Hanger Marketing Ideas

A door hanger is the one piece that cannot be thrown out with the rest of the mail, because it never reaches the mail. Here is what the five busiest December uses actually put on the card.

Holiday retail promotions

Store owners walk the streets closest to the shop and hang a dated offer on every door. Put the discount and the end date on the front in the largest type on the card, the address and the holiday opening hours on the back, and the offer code on the tear-off stub so staff can count exactly how many doors turned into sales.

Church service invitations

Christmas Eve and candlelight services fill from the neighborhood around the building. Lead with the service name, the date and the time, add the address and a line about parking, and keep the back simple: everyone welcome, plus the church name and website. On a 4.25" x 11" card that reads clearly from a porch step.

Seasonal service reminders

Gutter clearing, heating checks and snow removal all sell on timing rather than price. Hang the card before the first freeze, name the service and the season it protects, print the phone number large enough to dial from the doorway, and use the back for the full service list so one card covers the whole winter.

Neighborhood charity drives

Toy drives, food collections and coat drives need three facts on the front: what to give, where to drop it and the last day it can arrive. The back is the place for the organization name, who the collection helps and a QR code or short web address for people who would rather give online than shop.

Restaurant holiday hours

Every home within walking distance is a table. Print the December opening hours, the closed dates and whether you take holiday reservations or catering orders, then put the reservation number on the tear-off so it ends up on a fridge instead of in a bin.

What Size Should a Christmas Door Hanger Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say. The default 4.25" x 11" is the classic hanger shape, wide enough for a logo, a headline and an offer. Step up to 4.25" x 14" when you want a taller card that reads almost like a mini flyer, with room for a full holiday message and a coupon below it. Prefer something slimmer? The 3.5" x 8.5" and 3.5" x 11" are narrower, so they cost a little less to run and still carry a bold seasonal design. All 4 sizes, both materials and every option are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

What Material and Finish Should You Choose?

Both stocks are gloss cover, so reds and greens stay saturated and photos stay crisp. The 14pt Gloss Cover is the lighter, everyday choice that keeps the price down on a big run, while the 16pt Gloss Cover is a noticeably stiffer card that feels more premium in the hand and holds up better hanging outdoors in December weather. Every hanger gets a High Gloss UV Coating on top, which gives it that wet-look shine and adds a layer of scuff and moisture resistance for the trip to the door.

For ink, you decide whether the back does any work. Print full color on the front with a blank back to keep it simple and cheap, or print full color on both sides when you want a coupon, store hours, a map or a holiday greeting on the reverse. A two-sided hanger turns one card into two messages without changing the size.

Can You Add a Tear-Off Coupon?

Yes. Choose the perforation option and a tear-off strip is added 2" from the bottom, so the lower section snaps off along a clean line. A homeowner can pocket a holiday discount code, a promo, or an appointment card and leave the rest of the hanger on the door as a reminder. That is what turns a door hanger from a flyer into a response tool: act now, keep something later. If you would rather run a single solid card, pick no perforation and the hanger prints as one clean piece. Either way it prints on the same gloss cover with the same High Gloss UV Coating.

Where the Perforation Goes and What Belongs on the Stub

The optional tear-off perforation runs across the card 2" from the bottom, which is the part of a door hanger that no hand covers and no doorknob creases. That places the coupon below your main message, so the card still reads as one piece on the door and only separates when someone deliberately pulls it.

A 2" deep stub across the full card width is the size that survives the journey. It is deep enough to hold an offer, an expiry date and a code at readable size, and small enough to go straight into a wallet, a phone case or under a fridge magnet. On the 3.5" wide sizes the stub is a wallet-width slip; on the 4.25" wide sizes it is closer to a coupon clipped from a paper.

What earns its place on the stub: the offer in plain words, the expiry date, a redemption code you can count, and the phone number or address needed to use it. What does not: your logo at full size, a second offer, or anything set below 8pt, because the stub is read at arm's length in a kitchen and not on a screen. Keep the artwork on the coupon clear of the perforation line so the tear never cuts through a word.

How Much Do Christmas Door Hangers Cost?

Christmas door hangers start at $252.51 per 250, about $1.01 each, and the per-unit price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheap hanger really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 1,000 is $288.76, 5,000 is $772.05, 10,000 is $1,086.18, and 25,000 lands at $2,016.51, roughly 8 cents each. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-unit cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

How Do Christmas Door Hangers Compare?

Christmas door hangers are the festive pick for a holiday push, but they are not your only door option. If you are weighing a different holiday design or the everyday Door Hangers, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines these hangers up against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Do You Proof and How Fast Do They Ship?

Before anything prints, you pick how to proof. Choose the free online proof to review a digital version and sign off on the layout, or send it straight to production when your file is already press-ready and the calendar is tight. Standard production runs 7 business days, so plan your holiday drop with that window in mind and order early enough to hang before the season peaks.

Every order is backed by the 4OVER4 satisfaction guarantees, and a bigger neighborhood run keeps getting cheaper per piece thanks to bulk discounts. Christmas door hangers are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time to compare.

When to Order for December Delivery

Count backwards from the day the hangers need to be on doors, not the day you want the box. Standard production is 7 business days after you approve the free online proof, and shipping transit sits on top of that, so a run that has to be hanging in the first week of December wants the order placed and the proof approved well before Thanksgiving week. Two things stretch the timeline in December and neither is production: a proof that waits for approval, and carrier networks running at their yearly peak.

Practical version: approve the proof the day it lands, allow the 7 business days of production plus transit, and give yourself a few spare days for the crew or volunteers who will walk the route. If the date is already tight, pick a faster turnaround and a quicker shipping method at checkout, and get the artwork uploaded print-ready so the proof clears on the first pass rather than the third.
