About Tearoff Door Hangers

Tearoff door hangers combine the guaranteed visibility of a standard door hanger with a perforated tear-off section that gives recipients a physical next step to take. The main body of the hanger carries your brand message, offer, and imagery - while the tear-off strip at the bottom gives recipients something to keep in their pocket: a coupon code, a phone number to call, an appointment reminder, a discount, or a QR code to scan.

This interactive format consistently outperforms standard door hangers in response rate because it creates a physical action mechanism - recipients who tear off the coupon or number are already engaged with your offer. Printed full color on 14pt cardstock with a clean perforation that tears straight and neat, tearoff door hangers are especially popular for restaurants, home services, healthcare, and any local business running a trackable promotional offer.

Why Tearoff Door Hangers Work Better

Engagement

Creates a Physical Action

The tear-off section turns a passive reader into an active participant. Anyone who tears off and pockets the coupon or number is already engaged - the conversion barrier is much lower than with a standard hanger.

Tracking

Measurable Response Rate

Coupon codes and unique phone numbers on tear-off sections let you track exactly how many recipients responded to your campaign - giving you real data to measure ROI and optimize future campaigns.

Retention

Stays in Pockets and Wallets

A torn-off coupon or contact card travels with the recipient. It goes in pockets, wallets, and junk drawers - continuing to remind them of your business long after the main hanger is discarded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the tear-off section?

The standard tear-off section is approximately 4.25" wide x 2" tall at the bottom of the door hanger, giving you a business-card-like strip that fits easily in a wallet or pocket. Custom tear-off sizes are available - contact us before designing to confirm the exact dimensions for your chosen tear-off size so your content aligns correctly with the perforation line.

Is the perforation clean and straight?

Yes. Our tearoff door hangers use a precision perforation that tears cleanly and straight across the full width of the card. The tear-off section separates neatly without jagged edges, giving recipients a clean, professional strip they are comfortable putting in their wallet or pocket.

Can I put a coupon code on the tear-off section?

Yes, and this is one of the most effective uses of the tear-off section. Include a unique coupon code, discount amount, expiry date, and any redemption instructions in the tear-off panel. Unique codes per campaign let you track exactly how many door hangers were redeemed, giving you a measurable response rate for your campaign.

Do tearoff door hangers cost more than standard door hangers?

Yes, there is a modest additional cost for the perforation process compared to standard die-cut door hangers. However, the higher response rate and measurability of tearoff campaigns typically make them a better investment for promotional campaigns where tracking conversions matters. Contact us for a direct price comparison for your quantity.

Can I get a template for my design?

Yes. We strongly recommend requesting a template before designing your tearoff door hanger. The template shows you the exact position of the die-cut slot at the top and the perforation line for the tear-off section, so you can design with confidence that your content will align correctly with both. Contact us at 1-800-423-2679 to request your template.
