Door Hanger Templates
These press-ready printing templates define proper document size, bleeds, and trim marks to ensure your door hanger is correctly set up. The trimmed document sizes are 3.5″ × 8.5″ and 4.25″ × 11″. Bleeds are set to an eighth of an inch (0.125″).
Instructions
In Illustrator, simply open the .eps file and begin building your door hanger, using the guides and layers as a reference point.
In Photoshop, open either the .eps or .pdf file and click 'OK' in the Rasterize dialogue you will see upon opening the files. This will create a rasterized layer from which you can use as a reference as you build your document.
In InDesign, you will need to create a document as follows: Go to File > New > Document. If you are using the 3.5″ × 8.5″ template, set the width to '3.5 in' and the height to '8.5 in' (without the quotes). If you are using the 4.25″ × 11″ template, set the width to '4.25 in' and the height to '11 in' (again, without the quotes). Under Margins, set all margins to .125 in, and set all bleeds to .125 in. Then click 'Ok' to create the document. Now you may go to File > Place and place our template as your reference point, lining up the red area (the bleed) with the red bleed line in InDesign.
Guidance
On the booklet template, you will see distinct areas:
- Red denotes the bleed area. If you need graphics that touch edge of your booklet, you will need to extend your artwork into the bleed area. The bleed area will be trimmed from your final product and ensures a proper, final appearance.
- Green denotes the safety zone. We do not recommend placing any text inside this area as it is directly adjacent to the trim line.
- Dashed lines identify where the door hanger will be cut. Make note of the circular dashed line, as this area will be removed for door handles.
