 In that case, you can’t go far wrong with a premium, professional-looking, custom-made flyer or leaflet – specifically tailor-made for you in a cost-effective and eye-catching way.

Because they work best when they’re focused on a couple of simple but strong concepts or big ideas. 

They’re easy to handle, pack up, bundle and hand out in crowds. And they are great for street marketing activities such as promoting a seasonal sale or special event or drumming up targeted interest for your shop or business opening.

Flyer Leaflets

There are so many choices for your business or service to choose from – single or double-sided, flyer printing on uncoated or coated paper, recycled paper – 100% recycled, matt lamination, gloss, a huge range of paper types, and the artwork or design is up to you!

But before you start to get excited about getting your flyers and leaflets printed, you need to ensure you’ve covered some very important bases first:

• Know who your audience is, focus on the specific design, artwork, and printing which will be eye-catching and in a variety of colours, and be sure you are allowed to hand out your free flyers at relevant events and spots

• Use smaller printed sizes for handouts and larger sizes for hanging or displaying

• Hook potential readers with your headline – you’ve only got a few seconds of their attention – the quality of your content is vital, so give one clear call to action, and make your contact and social information big and bold.

Regardless of what you’re promoting, get your message out anywhere, at any time.

So, you must have:

·      The right quantity: there are great competitive prices across the board, from 25 to 20,000 for a print-run

·      The right look: it’s easy to customise a wide range of professional designs with online templates or if you take advantage of our intuitive design studio – ask for help…

·      The right paper: from budget flyers and leaflets to premium plus, as well as your specific choice of glossy, matte or recycled paper

·      The right product: decide whether you want flat or folded flyers, from portable handout formats to larger sizes to hang or carry in folders – the choice is yours.

· holders are also available for DL and A4 sizes flyers which is great for advertising spots.

How to Create an Eye-Catching Leaflet or Flyer Design

Designing leaflets or flyers online is quick and easy, especially if you have your own in-house design team or are happy to dabble in the creation yourself! If you haven’t, then don’t panic, give one of our professional design team a shout, as we’re always happy to help.

On each of the different product sizes, you’ll find the design specifications clearly listed for you to utilise. There a number of premium quality of free card designs online which have blank design tool templates for you to use.

It’s recommended that you:

·      Keep your text to a minimum

Flyers are meant to be easy to absorb, so keep your text clear and concise – it shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes to read everything on your flyer. Try to have no more than 250 words on your flyer, and even less for A5 and smaller.

·      Use headings

Keep your design simple – you’ll probably need one big header to summarise the entire flyer, then you could use smaller headings to direct your reader’s attention to the next important piece of information. This helps create a hierarchy of information in your design and makes it easier to read.

·      Folded, double-sided designs

If you opt for a folded, double-sided leaflet, which is a good option for presentations or specifically targeted audiences, they’ll enable you to have more space to explain what your business is all about. 

This double-sided extra space will make it easier for you to organise your information into sections so that your potential customers can easily find what they’re looking for.

 As well as being useful informative handouts, they’re perfect for displaying on reception desks or in front of popular shops, as a form of free advertising in areas with high traffic, which are busy and crowded with potential customers.

·      Stick to your brand colours

Having too many colours can be distracting for your reader so it’s recommended that you choose two or three of your business’ brand colours that complement each other and make your message easy to read.

Search for a Design

If you’re struggling to come up with a design yourself, you’ll find there’s a lot of free online designs available for you to use.

You could:

• Start by searching a wide range of artwork and designs by your own industry type or purpose to find the right look for your individual needs

• You can upload any type of file including .pdf, .ai, .jpeg, .png, .doc and .ppt 

• Remember always to include attention-grabbing text, images or photos 

• To make it more scannable, it’s recommended that you don’t use more than 2 different fonts

• Perhaps add a coupon, voucher or other marketing pull-in to your design to create additional interest.

• If you need artwork or design help, our experienced and professional in-house experts can create logos, edit your template, or re-create existing designs to suit your needs. 

Leaflet Printing

You’ll need to find an excellent printing business that can help you choose the best quality yet most suitable printing flyer and leaflet options available that will suit your budget and your advertising plans.

How to choose a paper stock for your leaflet printing

There’s so much choice when it comes to choosing what type of paper to use and what finish to opt for when it comes to leaflet or flyer printing – it can literally be overwhelming.

But it’s important you get it right – because as soon as your potential customer or client handles your flyers and leaflets, they’ll know you mean business, with whatever choice of paper type you’ve decided on. 

The kind of finish you decide on proves your business is top-quality too…

 Types of Paper

Value 150gsm Silk is great as a cheap flyer printing option for businesses that don’t want to scrimp on quality. It feels like a thin takeaway menu, or a weekly magazine – as it’s a lightweight paper but that’s still smooth and silky. It’s perfect for bulk flyer printing on a budget, great for takeaway menus, large quantity handouts for shows and exhibitions, club and events advertising.

Classic 250gsm Silk- this is a good mid-weight paper that’s versatile and that can be used for a range of different things as it’s a thin card that stands up straight when you hold it up with a silky finish. It’s perfect for most marketing activities, which can include advertising flyers and magazine inserts.

Premium 350gsm Silk – this is a super thick stock which gives the impression of luxury and lasts a long time, especially if you add a protective, splash-proof layer of lamination. It’s also available with Spot UV on matt lamination. 

It feels like a thick card, like a restaurant menu card or a business card, and is ideal for long-term marketing, such as quality menus or high-end business flyers for impressing your top clients.

Recycled 350gsm – now you can print environmentally-friendly flyers on 100% recycled card, which feels like a thick card.

 It is just like premium stock but has slightly less ink absorption, and is great for any business looking for an eco-friendly alternative to their standard advertising flyers.

Kraft 280gsm – actually gives your leaflets and flyers a hand-crafted, DIY look but which has a professionally printed finish. 

They are made of earthy, textured card, like those brown recycled envelopes that you can get but they’re actually a bit thicker!

How to choose a paperweight

When you decide what type of luxury printed flyers and leaflets you want for your business’ advertising, it’s also a good idea to think about the type of paper weight and size.

There are various paper types and weights options for you to look at – obviously the heavier the weights, the costlier the service, but the quality is better…

• Budget: 130 gsm for glossy and matte

• Standard: 170 gsm for glossy and matte

• Premium: 250 gsm for glossy and matte, 270 gsm for recycled

• Premium plus: 400 gsm for glossy and matte

Finishes

Once you’ve chosen your type and weight of paper, you mustn’t forget the finish, as it’s all these small details that can make all the difference to your business.

·      A gloss finish is shiny and reflective and is perfect for photos and other images, especially if your design has lots of vibrant colours

·      Whereas a matte finish has less of a glare for a smoother appearance and more contrast 

·      Recycled stock tends to a more natural feel, with lighter colours, and is made from 100% recycled materials.
