Door Hangers and Table Cards: Small-Format Print for Retail and Hospitality

Small print, specific jobs

Door hangers and table cards are easy to overlook because they're small, but each does a specific job that a poster or flyer doesn't do as well, hanging directly on a door handle or standing on a table exactly where someone is already looking.

Door hangers for direct, local reach

A door hanger is delivered directly to a specific address, which suits local promotions, opening announcements, or reminders for a specific street or block in a way a general flyer drop doesn't target as precisely. A short, clear offer or message works better than dense text, since it's usually read in a few seconds on the doorstep.

Table cards for restaurants and events

A table card sitting on a restaurant or cafe table gets seen by every customer who sits down, making it a practical spot for a seasonal menu, a QR code to an online menu, wifi details or an upcoming event. At a wedding or function, table cards do a different job, showing table numbers or names so guests can find their seats.

Material and finish

Both are usually printed on a sturdy card stock that stands up to repeated handling, table cards in particular need to stay upright and presentable through a full sitting, so a lightweight paper isn't usually the right choice for either format. A matte or light lamination extends how long they can be reused before looking worn.

Quantities and distribution

A door hanger campaign is usually ordered in the hundreds or low thousands depending on how many streets or addresses are being covered, while table cards are typically ordered in smaller batches sized to the number of tables or covers in a venue. Ordering slightly more than the exact number needed is worth it for both, since a few spares cover reprints, new tables or replacing worn cards later. If you're planning a repeat door hanger campaign across several streets, it's worth keeping the design consistent so people start to recognise it on a second or third delivery.
