What Are Doorknob/Newspaper Bags?
Doorknob/newspaper bags, also known as door hanger bags or hanging literature bags, are a type of plastic bag that has a pre-cut hanging hole that fits onto a standard style type of door knob/handle. This allows you to place the bag on the door handles of business entrances or homes, rather than leaving it on the ground outside.
These bags are designed to hold newspapers or magazines for delivery and often include custom features such as a perforated header or a lip for handling. They are transparent, so that recipients can easily see the contents inside, and made from clear polyethylene (LDPE) or polypropylene to protect the items from dirt, rain, and other external factors.
Depending on their size and thickness, they can be used for anything, from brochures or flyers to bulkier items such as packeted samples, full-size newspapers, or marketing kits. Clear plastic bags are simple and straightforward, easy to pack, and excellent for mass-distribution campaigns.
Uses of Doorknob/Newspaper Bags
The primary use of doorknob/newspaper bags is for direct mail marketing campaigns. Brochures, coupons, or flyers can be easily hung directly onto door handles. They are easy to see and can’t be misplaced or carried away. The clear plastic helps recipients see the message instantly and protects printed materials from weather and dirt.
These bags are also perfect for newspaper and magazine distribution, keeping contents clean, dry, and easy to find. They reduce moisture damage or damage from pets and are great for any type of publication.
The bags are also a great solution for product sampling and promotional giveaways. Businesses can add samples and coupons to the same bag, keeping them clean and visible.
Finally, these handle bags are a great choice for municipal agencies and utility providers, who can use them to distribute service notices, safety information, and community updates.
