Question
What paper stock works best for Door Hangers?
Answer
Door hangers live outdoors and get handled, so a heavier, sturdier stock is the safe choice. Thin paper curls, tears, and reads as cheap the moment someone picks it up.
| Stock | Best for |
|---|---|
| 14pt to 16pt cardstock | Everyday campaigns, a good balance of cost and durability |
| 100lb cover or heavier | Upscale or high-touch campaigns that need extra rigidity |
| Plastic or synthetic | Long hang times or wet weather where paper would fail |
- Gloss or UV coating adds weather resistance and makes colors pop
- Matte or uncoated gives a softer, premium feel but less moisture protection
Match the weight to how long the piece needs to survive on a doorknob.
