How to Make Custom Door Hangers

by Vervante •

Looking for something new to add some pizzazz to your product line or create some fun discussions with your customers? How about creating custom Door Hangers? These are easy to create, you can customize with any design, can be printed single or 2-sided, are budget-friendly, and great for adding to just about any product – from books to planners to monthly subscriptions boxes.

Design Instructions
If you are interested in creating door hangers, you can request a copy of our templates by emailing [email protected]. In addition, here are a few notes to help you during the design process:

  • The print-ready PDFs should NOT include the template, these are provided for spacing and die-cut hole placement as a guide when you create your artwork.
  • Since we use pre-cut 8.5x11" stock, the artwork cannot bleed on the outside edges.
  • A white border looks best.

How to add extras to your products and packaging
Adding fun extras to packages and programs is a great way to really help your products stand out. Many of our clients create fun items like this to add value and enhance the experience of their own customers. The secret to really impressing your customers is to choose items to add to your box that will complement and add value for products, programs, or events.

Here are some ideas of products we offer:

  • Door hangers
  • Postcards, note cards, or letters
  • Wallet card flash drive
  • Card decks
  • Golden tickets, coupons, or bookmarks
  • Notepads / Notebooks / Journals
  • Stickers

**(See our online catalog and product sample page for more ideas we can help you create)

In addition to items we print, you are also welcome to send us supplied items and our fulfillment service team can include them in your packages for you when we ship out your orders. Here is a sampling of some of the items our customers have sent us to include in their shipments:

  • Pens, pencils, markers
  • Apparel
  • Crystals
  • Bags for card decks
  • Tissue paper to wrap the planner/book/journal
  • Colored crinkle paper to sprinkle in the box
  • Athletic accessories (fitness bands, supplements, etc.)
  • Tote bags, pouches or pencil cases

Special boxed items that involve multiple parts need to be assembled, packaged and delivered just right. Here at Vervante, we provide the storage, assembly and shipping services you need to make sure everything goes together smoothly.
