A flyer gets lost in the mailbox. A door hanger gets handled, because someone has to take it off the doorknob to get inside. That’s why campaigns, realtors and local service businesses use door hangers to reach a neighbourhood. Glenwood Print designs, prints and die-cuts custom door hangers in west Edmonton, with most orders ready same day or next day, and we can arrange delivery through Canada Post.
Who Uses Door Hangers
- Election campaigns. Canvassing literature, “Sorry we missed you” cards and voting-day reminders.
- Realtors. Just-listed and just-sold announcements, plus market updates for a farm area.
- Home services. Landscapers, snow removal, roofers, painters, window cleaners and pest control working the street they’re already on.
- Restaurants and pizzerias. Menus and delivery coupons.
- Property managers and condo boards. Notices for water shut-offs, inspections and building news.
- Community leagues and non-profits. Registration drives, events and fundraisers.
Sizes, Stock and Finishes
Sizes
The most common door hanger sizes are 3.5″ × 8.5″ and 4.25″ × 11″. The larger size gives you room for a menu, a map or a tear-off coupon. We also print custom sizes and custom die-cut shapes.
Stock and finish
Door hangers are printed on heavy cardstock so they hang straight and survive being handled. Choose your finish:
- Gloss. Vivid colour and a bit of shine. Best for photos and food.
- Matte. Clean, no glare, easy to read. A popular choice for campaigns and professional services.
- Uncoated. Easy to write on, so it’s ideal for “Sorry we missed you” notes and service reminders.
Tear-off coupons and reply cards
Add a perforated tear-off section for a coupon, appointment card or business card. People keep the tear-off long after the hanger goes in the recycling, and you can track how many come back.
Door Hangers for the 2027 Alberta Election
With the provincial election set for October 18, 2027, door hangers are the backbone of most canvassing plans. They let volunteers leave a message at every door, whether anyone answers or not. Campaigns typically order in waves:
- Introduction hangers early in the campaign, covering the candidate, photo and key priorities.
- “Sorry we missed you” hangers for canvassers, with space to write a note.
- Get-out-the-vote reminders in the final week, with voting dates and locations.
Pair them with matching coroplast lawn signs so your campaign looks the same on the lawn and on the door.
We Can Handle Delivery Through Canada Post
Don’t have a team of volunteers or staff to walk the route? We can arrange unaddressed delivery through Canada Post’s Neighbourhood Mail service, targeted to the postal routes you choose. Tell us the neighbourhoods you want to reach and we’ll walk you through the options and timing.
Note: Canada Post delivers to the mailbox rather than hanging the piece on the door, so ask us whether a door hanger or a flyer format suits mail delivery better.
No Artwork? We’ll Design It
Our in-house designers can create your door hanger from scratch or rework your existing flyer into the door hanger format. Good door hangers follow a simple rule: one message, one offer, one way to respond. We’ll keep yours focused and send a proof for approval before printing.
