Mini

The size for mini templates in Adobe Photoshop is 3.5 × 8.5 inches (plus the bleed). As stated earlier, this best fits personal or straightforward marketing use only as it leaves little room for written and graphic content.

The size for standard templates in Adobe Photoshop is 4.5 × 11 inches (plus the bleed). This dimension is for customers who prefer more room than the mini template design for their messages or graphics.

Jumbo

The size for jumbo templates in Adobe Photoshop is 5.5 × 17 inches (plus the bleed). This measurement is for people who prefer a considerable amount of room for their messages or graphics, however, this can also be quite costly when printed.

Door Hanger Sizes for Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator are broadly similar apps (in the sense that you can design your door hanger in both applications) which is why they also share the exact door hanger sizes to be followed. At the same time, it should also include bleed to avoid unnecessary white borders on the door hanger.
