Thicker stock and laminates, for something that feels substantial.
About flyers & brochures
Materials
Silk papers have a smooth coated surface: Standard Silk at 170gsm, Heavy Silk at 250gsm, and silks at 115, 118, 148 and 150gsm. Uncoated papers, with no coating, come at 89, 115, 118, 148, 150, 170 and 250gsm. Gloss Laminated is a 250gsm silk under a gloss film; other silks are laminated in gloss or matte on the front or on both sides (148, 170 and 250gsm), or varnished in gloss (148, 150 and 250gsm).
Sizes
US sizes: letter (8.5 x 11 in), half letter (5.5 x 8.5 in) and 4.25 x 5.5 in. Metric sizes: A4 (210 x 297 mm), A5 (148 x 210 mm) and A6 (105 x 148 mm); the long DL (99 x 210 mm) and A5 long (105 x 297 mm); and squares of 210 mm and 141 mm. Not every paper is made in every size: A4, A5 and letter have the most papers and 4.25 x 5.5 in has one, and the page lists the sizes of the paper you choose. Each size opens in the editor on templates drawn for it.
Your file
Design it in the editor and the print file is made for you, at the flyer's full size with the extra edge the cut needs: an eighth of an inch on the inch sizes, 4 mm on the millimetre sizes. Keep words inside the edge too: a quarter of an inch on the inch sizes, 6 mm on the millimetre sizes. To use your own artwork, upload an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or SVG, up to 12 MB) and place it; a PDF is not taken. Before you pay, the print check tells you if a picture is too small to print sharply, or if any words are smaller than the press can hold.
How long it takes
Printing takes 3 to 5 business days. Delivery comes after that; the Shipping page has the times.

Questions
- What is the smallest order?
- 50 flyers. Runs are 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1,000.
- Can I print on both sides?
- Yes. Most papers are made printed on one side or on both, four only on both, and the page shows what the second side adds before you choose it.
- What is the difference between silk and uncoated?
- Silk paper has a smooth coated surface; uncoated paper has no coating. A laminated paper adds a gloss or matte film, and a varnished one a gloss coat.
- Can I see the flyer before it prints?
- Yes. Before it goes in the cart you see each side as it will print and confirm it, and the editor exports a PDF of your design.
- How long does printing take?
- 3 to 5 business days, then delivery; the Shipping page has the times.
