Flyers aren’t simple printed advertising materials, they represent the image of the company. A poorly designed flyer printed on a flimsy cheap-looking cardstock will highly unlikely to produce the right impression on your clients. While a flyer printed on a premium quality stock with brilliant color accents will definitely make a clear and solid statement. Flyer printing options can be a game changer for your business.
Otherwise, flyers are one of the most accessible outreach methods, through both direct mail and other person-to-person delivery. They are simple, tangible, and cost-effective. Whether you’re advertising an event or a promotion, a flyer is a perfect way to get people on board.
Business flyers, known as professional flyers, have a clean layout and design. They can be useful in the promotion not only of your company’s identity but also of your products and services. Flyers for branding purposes need though to include more information about the company to better introduce the target audience to your business.

Paper paperweight:
- A flyer on a budget is usually printed on 80-lb paper that has a thickness similar to magazines.

- Premium flyers are printed on 110-lb paper, which is thicker and sturdier. This weight is similar to wedding invitations and posters.
Flyer sizes:
- Letter / A4 or 8.5” x 11”: The most standard paper sizes. Ideal for newsletters and tri-fold brochures, as the larger paper size, allows for the most information to be included.
