Order custom door hangers in Canada from $169, 14pt glossy stock, full-colour CMYK both sides, AQ or UV coated, 1.25″ die-cut hole, manufactured in-house at our Toronto facility with 24-hour turnaround, delivered next business day across the GTHA and Canada-wide. If you run a home-services business, landscaping, snow removal, painting, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, real estate, cleaning services, door hangers remain one of the highest-response neighborhood marketing tools in the playbook. Walking a residential street, hanging door hangers on every house in your service area takes a few hours and produces calls for weeks. This guide compares our Standard ($169) and Premium ($179) door hangers and walks you through what makes a door hanger that actually gets called.
Standard vs Premium Door Hangers, The Comparison
| Feature | Standard ($169) | Premium ($179) |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 14pt glossy | 14pt glossy |
| Full-colour 4/4 CMYK | Full-colour 4/4 CMYK | |
| Coating | AQ gloss both sides (writeable) | UV gloss both sides (high-shine) |
| Die-cut hole | 1.25″ standard doorknob hole | 1.25″ standard doorknob hole |
| Print quality | Offset 300LPI / 2400DPI | Offset 300LPI / 2400DPI |
| Best for | Most home-services campaigns, large quantities, mass-distribution | Premium home services, real estate just-listed/just-sold, brand-conscious operators |
$10 difference between Standard and Premium. The only difference is coating finish, AQ versus UV. For most home-services distribution, Standard is plenty. Premium makes sense when colour vibrancy matters (real estate photo prominence) or the brand-perception lift justifies the small upgrade.

Door Hanger Design Best Practices
Door hangers get glanced at for 1 second by someone who comes home, sees something on their doorknob, and decides whether to read it or throw it out. To survive that triage:
- One urgent message at the top. Not your business name. Not your tagline. The reason they should care, right now. “Free Snow Removal Estimate” beats “Smith Landscaping Inc.”
- Visual proof of work. Photo of a freshly landscaped yard, a clean roof, a finished paint job. Real photos beat stock.
- One specific offer. A dollar discount, a percentage off, a free consultation, a deadline. Vague “call for a quote” works much worse than “$50 off your first cleaning, valid through Aug 31.”
- Phone number large and bold. Most door hanger calls come from people standing at their front door with the hanger in hand. The number needs to be readable without putting on glasses.
- Your business name and address (if local) establish trust. “Family-owned in Mississauga since 2008” converts better than no provenance.
- Bright colours, high contrast. Door hangers compete with the door itself, the wreath, and the welcome mat. Subtle pastels disappear; bold blues, reds and yellows survive.
How to Distribute Door Hangers, The Mechanics
Once you have the door hangers, the standard distribution workflow:
- Walk your service area. Map a route covering 200 to 500 homes per day per person. A weekend morning typically covers a full residential neighborhood.
- Hang on doorknobs, not in mailboxes. Canada Post regulations prohibit placing non-mail in mailboxes. Doorknobs and door handles are fine.
- Skip “No Soliciting” signs. Respect them, it both stops complaints and keeps your brand reputation clean.
- Track which neighborhoods convert. Use different phone numbers, QR codes, or promo codes per neighborhood to measure ROI.
- Hit each neighborhood 2 to 3 times over a season before deciding it does not work. Single-touch campaigns under-perform multi-touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Standard and Premium door hangers?
$10 price difference. Both use the same 14pt glossy stock, same full-colour 4/4 print, same 1.25″ die-cut hole. The only difference is coating finish, Standard is AQ (writeable), Premium is UV (high-gloss).
How many door hangers do I need for my neighborhood?
Count homes in your service area (typically 500 to 2,000 in a tight residential neighborhood). Plan for 2 to 3 distribution rounds over the season, so an initial 1,000 piece order is a reasonable starting quantity.
Can door hangers be placed in mailboxes?
No, Canada Post regulations prohibit placing non-mail in mailboxes. Door hangers go on doorknobs, door handles or fence posts only.
What is a typical response rate from a door hanger campaign?
For home services with a strong offer and good targeting, 0.5 to 2 percent response is typical. A 1,000 piece run producing 10 to 20 calls is a good campaign. ROI math: at average home-services job values of $200 to $2,000, even a 1 percent response makes the print cost trivially profitable.
Can you design my door hanger?
Yes. Send us your business info, photos and offer, and our design team will create a print-ready layout. Free PDF proof before printing.
How fast can I get door hangers in a rush?
PDF proof within one business day. Printing within 24 hours of approval. Next-business-day GTHA delivery.
Can I order matching business cards and brochures?
Yes. Pair door hangers with business cards (to hand out when customers call) and brochures (for follow-up consultations).
