Question 1

What flyer size is best for events?

Accepted Answer

The 8.5x11 inch size is the most popular for events. It is large enough to include event details, a map, and sponsor logos while being easy to hand out and post on bulletin boards. For smaller handouts, 5.5x8.5 works well. For postcards or mailer flyers, 4.25x5.5 is the standard choice.

Question 2

What paper stock should I choose for outdoor flyers?

Accepted Answer

For flyers displayed outdoors or in high-traffic areas, use 14pt glossy card stock or add UV coating. Glossy card stock resists moisture and handling better than text-weight paper. UV coating adds extra protection against scuffing and light water exposure.

Question 3

What is the difference between glossy and matte flyers?

Accepted Answer

Glossy flyers have a shiny, reflective finish that makes colors vibrant and photographs sharp. Matte flyers have a smooth, non-reflective surface that is easier to read under direct light and easier to write on. Choose glossy for photo-heavy designs, matte for text-heavy designs.

Question 4

Are flyers printed on both sides?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our flyer printing includes full-color printing on both sides at no extra charge. Double-sided flyers give you twice the space for event details, maps, coupons, or sponsor information.

Question 5

How many flyers should I order for a local event?

Accepted Answer

Order 20 to 30 percent more than your expected attendance. For a 500-person event, order 600 to 750 flyers. This covers distribution beforehand, extras at the door, and sharing. Per-unit cost drops significantly at higher quantities, so ordering more usually saves money.

Question 6

Can you design my flyer or do I need to provide artwork?

Accepted Answer

Both work. Upload a print-ready design during checkout, or browse our free flyer templates on the Design Templates page. For fully custom design, contact our team for a quote.

Question 7

What file format should I submit?

Accepted Answer

PDF is the best format for flyer printing. Include 0.125-inch bleed on all sides, set to CMYK color mode, with all images at 300 DPI. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD, and high-resolution JPG or PNG files.

Question 8

Do you check my file before printing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every flyer order includes a free prepress review. We check resolution, bleed, color mode, and potential issues. If we find a problem, we contact you with clear guidance before anything goes to press.

Question 9

How fast can I get my flyers?

Accepted Answer

Standard production is 5 to 7 business days from proof approval. Rush production is available for 3-day turnaround. Add shipping transit time based on your location. Local pickup saves even more time.

Question 10

Do you offer free shipping on flyers?

Accepted Answer

Qualifying orders ship free via ground within the continental US. Larger flyer orders typically meet the threshold. Expedited and overnight shipping are also available at checkout.

Question 11

Can I pick up my flyers locally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer pickup at three locations in the greater Chicago area. Select pickup at checkout, skip the shipping cost, and collect your flyers when they are ready.

Question 12

How much do flyers cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices depend on size, paper stock, and quantity. Standard 8.5x11 flyers on 100lb gloss start at around $29 for 500 copies. Per-unit cost drops at higher quantities. Check the product page for live pricing at your configuration.

Question 13

Do you offer bulk flyer discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The more you order, the lower your per-flyer cost. The biggest price breaks happen at 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000 units. Quantity pricing is displayed automatically on product pages.

Question 14

Are there extra charges for double-sided printing?

Accepted Answer

No. Full-color double-sided printing is included in every flyer price. You never pay extra for printing on both sides.

Question 15

What if the colors look different from what I see on screen?

Accepted Answer

Some color variation between screen and print is normal. Monitors use RGB light, printing uses CMYK ink. Design in CMYK mode from the start for the best results. Our free file review flags major color concerns before printing.

Question 16

What is your return or reprint policy?

Accepted Answer

If your flyers arrive with printing defects or quality issues on our end, we reprint or refund. Submit a claim within 7 days with photos. Our free file review helps prevent most file-related issues before they reach the press.
