This guide covers ordering door hangers on 55printing.com for a neighborhood route campaign: sizing the run to your street count, choosing the right stock, and knowing what the coupon does and does not cover. Prices below are base figures for 3.5″ x 8.5″ door hangers, 100 lb. gloss, printed one side (4/0), checked July 2026. Shipping is a separate line at checkout.
Door hangers are a route product, not a mailer
Door hangers get hand-placed on doors along a physical route, so size the order to houses on your street list, not a mailing database. The 250 tier runs $64.78 base and 500 runs $76.10, only about $11 more for 250 extra hangers, the strongest value step on the July 2026 table.
Unlike a postcard or flyer that goes through the mail, door hangers are hand-placed on doors along a physical route, which means your real quantity need is tied to houses on a street list, not a mailing database. Count the doors you plan to actually walk, add a buffer for houses you skip on the first pass, and order against that number rather than a round guess.

The 250 to 500 step is the strongest value on this table, about $11 more for 250 extra hangers. Past 500, the per-unit price keeps dropping, which matters once you are covering several streets in one push rather than a single block.
Stock and one-sided printing
100 lb. gloss is a durable stock for a piece that sits outside on a doorknob, sometimes in wind or light rain, for a day or more before someone brings it in. Printing one side only (4/0) keeps the cost down and fits how most people actually read a door hanger, one glance at the front before it goes in a drawer or the recycling bin. A blank back is rarely missed unless you plan a tear-off coupon strip, which is a separate design consideration, not a separate print side.
The die-cut slot that lets the hanger hook over a doorknob is built into this product’s standard size and shape. Keep your logo, offer, and phone number clear of that slot area in your file so nothing important gets cut through during hanging.

Scenario: an HVAC company’s spring tune-up route
An HVAC company is running a door-to-door push for spring AC tune-ups across a mid-size subdivision with about 420 homes. The owner wants two techs walking two halves of the neighborhood in one weekend, with a few extra hangers for houses the crew has to skip on the first pass because of a locked gate or a barking dog. That pushes the real count past 450, so he orders the 500 tier at $76.10 rather than 250, since a second trip back for another 250 hangers would cost more in gas and tech time than the price gap between those two tiers.
A smaller one-truck HVAC operator canvassing a single street of about 80 homes runs the same logic at a smaller scale and orders the 100 tier at $42.36, adding a light buffer for houses skipped on the first walk. Both companies print one side only, since the offer, phone number, and a spring tune-up discount code fit comfortably on a single face without needing back-side content.
Code hotprintsusa-10-off-for-copies is scoped to eligible color copies products on 55printing.com and does not apply to door hangers. A spring campaign that also prints a color copies flyer for truck handouts may see the code apply to that separate line item, but it will not discount the door hanger run. Check the printing coupons page for any door hanger specific offer before checkout.
Artwork checklist before you upload
- Keep the logo, offer, and phone number clear of the die-cut doorknob slot area
- Use a bold, short headline; a door hanger gets a few seconds of attention at most
- Include a clear expiration date on any discount or promo code printed on the hanger
- Export logos as vector art or high-resolution files, not a small web logo
Weather is the variable nobody controls. Order with enough lead time that a rained-out weekend still leaves a usable window the following week without forcing a rush reorder.
Turnaround around a weather-dependent weekend
Route campaigns like a spring tune-up push are usually tied to a specific weekend when techs are actually free to walk a neighborhood, which makes turnaround planning matter more than it does for a piece that just sits in an office. Standard turnaround works when the target weekend is a few weeks out. Rush pricing exists for a company that decides on a push date later than planned, not as the default approach. Count backward from the walking weekend, add production days, then add shipping days for your zip code, and leave a small cushion in case the crew needs a day to sort hangers by street before heading out.

FAQ
How do I size a door hanger order for a route campaign?
Count actual houses on the route, add a buffer for skipped doors, and order against that total rather than a round guess.
Does the color copies coupon apply to door hangers?
No. That code is scoped to color copies products only. Check the printing coupons page for a door hanger eligible code before checkout.
Should I print both sides of the hanger?
One side is standard and fits how most people glance at a door hanger before setting it aside. Reserve two-sided printing for a design that truly needs it.
What stock holds up best left outside overnight?
100 lb. gloss is a durable option for outdoor placement. It handles brief exposure to wind and light moisture better than a lighter paper stock.
How much time should I budget between ordering and the walking weekend?
Count backward from the target weekend, add production days plus shipping days for your zip code, and leave a small cushion for sorting hangers by street.
What happens to the printed offer if it rains on route day?
Order with enough lead time that a rained-out weekend still leaves a usable window the following week, rather than triggering a rush reorder.
Can two techs split one large order across two neighborhoods?
Yes. Order the combined total for both routes in one run, then split and sort the stack by street once it arrives.
