Flyer sizes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once you\u2019ve decided Flyers are the perfect choice for your next promotional push, it\u2019s best practice to decide what size you want your Flyer to be.<\/p>\r\n

Do you want to print A5 Flyers<\/a>, standard-sized in the UK and frequently seen dropping through your letterbox to notify people about products, services and events?

Or maybe a small Flyer is no good for your customers, and instead, a large format A3 Flyer<\/a> is what you need to get your message across with maximum impact?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check out the most common Flyer paper sizes below in our size guide:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Flyer materials<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Flyers come in all shapes and sizes and are also printed on a variety of different paper types. The material a Flyer is printed on matters, as it can help you achieve your marketing objectives. For example, if you want Flyers to raise awareness of a luxury brand, printing on thicker paper will help add a quality feel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Remember, the thickness of a paper determines its weight, which is measured in gsm (grams per square metre). The thicker the paper, the higher the gsm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
