Susie and Bob Dickinson, FL - For our door hangers we have used
bright yellow copy paper and also tried using card stock-- but could only find pastels in
the card stock and they don't stand out as much. You get more copies using the
regular paper because there are 500 sheets per ream versus 250 sheets in the card stock
ream and the card stock isn't as easy to tear as the copy paper.
We go into the local Office Depot, select the paper we want, take it to the photo
copier and do our own copying. We have them cut the flyers for us in their copy
center which saves us a lot of time! They charge us for the reams
of paper and we get a small savings on the copies because we are buying the paper and not
using the paper in the copier. Of course we use the credit card we have on file with
Office Depot through AmeriPlan (log in to your back office at www.AmeriPlan.net more information about the wonderful IBO Benefits and discounts we get) and we get a
significant savings (about 40-50%) each time we have them printed.
At home we use a small desktop 2-hole punch which we've adjusted so we only
make one hole in the center, 1/4" from the top of the flyer. This method
is much easier than using a hand held 1-hole punch. We use Office Depot's rubber
bands, size 19, and they are threaded through the hole with one end of the rubber band
slipped over the other end and pulled tight to secure it to the door hanger.
My 86 year old mother, Lois Shoot, is shown in the picture as she sits on her
chaise threading rubber bands thru a hole we've punched into the flyer to make them door
hangers! Bless her heart for all her help!!
