Door hanger printing in Calgary
A flyer in the mailbox gets sorted with the bills. A door hanger is the first thing someone touches when they get home.
Quick answer
Door hangers are printed cards with a cut-out hole that slips over a doorknob. SURE Print Foothills designs and prints custom door hangers in Calgary for trades, landscapers, realtors, restaurants, community groups and election campaigns. We print standard sizes or cut custom shapes on our die cutters, and you approve a proof before anything prints.
Door hangers are made for neighbourhood marketing. If you mow lawns in Auburn Bay, clean eavestroughs in Evergreen or just finished a roof on one street in Cranston, a hanger on the neighbours' doors is about as targeted as advertising gets. They don't need postage, and they can't get lost in a stack of mail.
We print them on heavy card stock that stays put in a breeze, then die cut the hanger hole and slit so they slide over a handle cleanly. Standard shapes are fine for most jobs. If you want something with personality, like a house outline for a realtor or a leaf shape for a landscaper, we can cut that too. Add a perforated tear-off coupon or business card and people can keep part of it on the fridge.

Timing your door hanger drop
In Calgary, the season sells the service. Snow removal hangers do best in October, before the first real dump. Lawn care and aeration hangers do well once the snow is gone in spring. And hail repair hangers move fast after a summer storm rips through the northeast. Plan the print run a little ahead so you're on doorsteps when people are already thinking about the problem.
FAQ
Door Hangers questions
How much do door hangers cost to print?
The cost depends on quantity, size, card stock, single or double sided printing and whether you need a custom shape or perforated coupon. Larger runs lower the price per piece. Send us the details for an emailed quote.
Can you make custom-shaped door hangers?
Yes. We cut custom shapes on our die cutters and digital cutting table. Send us the idea and we'll confirm the shape will cut cleanly and hang properly.
Are door hangers better than flyers?
They do a different job. Door hangers get noticed at the front door and suit neighbourhood campaigns. Flyers cost less per piece and work well for mail drops, counters and events. Plenty of businesses use both.
Can you add a tear-off coupon?
Yes. We can add a perforated tear-off section for a coupon, appointment reminder or business card.
