We’ve been printing flyers for over 10 years, which means we’ve seen some pretty nifty flyer designs in our time. Using our experience, we’ve compiled our top tips for designing your own flyer – here’s our best advice.

1. Keep text to a minimum

Flyers are meant to be easy to digest, which means keeping your text short and sweet – it should never take longer than a few minutes to read everything on a flyer. We recommend having no more than 250 words on your flyer – even less for A5 and smaller.

2. Use headings

Design your flyer like you’re telling a story – you’ll need one big heading to summarise the entire flyer, then smaller headings to direct your reader’s attention onto the next important piece of information. This helps create hierarchy in your design and makes it easier to read.

3. Stick to your brand colours

Adding lots of different colours can be distracting. We recommend choosing two or three of your brand colours that really complement each other and make your message easier to read.

We understand that finding the right leaflet design for your brand can be a challenge, but we can help you decide what to include when designing leaflets online with our range of useful templates. No design? No worries! Whether you have an idea of what you want or not, our online tool has a variety of templates for flyers that can help you design a perfect leaflet.

We have templates available in our library for a wide array of company types and events. If you’re a gym or a fitness establishment looking to advertise a new selection of classes or services, no problem! We have the perfect flyer advertising design for you.

Promoting seasonal menus for your restaurant or café? You’ll want everyone to know all about the new tasty delights you have on offer. A flyer template from instantprint is the perfect way to show new and existing customers the up-and-coming menu options available.

Placing a flyer order at instantprint is totally fuss-free! If you haven’t designed your artwork yet, you can design it yourself. Simply use our free online tool.

Once your design is ready, choose the product you want on this page. Choose your stock, quantity, and delivery options – then click add to basket.

You’ll then be greeted by a pop-up tool asking how you’d like to supply your artwork. Upload your design and we’ll automatically create a proof for you to review. This is what your finished artwork will look like, with lines added on to show bleed and safety zones (we won’t print the bleed lines!).

If you’re happy for us to print this, approve your artwork for print and place your order. A member of our Studio team will then manually check and set this up for you – like a print safety net!

Since launching in 2009, we've printed over a billion business leaflets and other flyer designs for our customers! All of our flyer printing is done using the latest cutting-edge technology and each design is checked carefully by our experienced in-house studio team.

If you order fewer than 500 flyers, we’ll print them on our state-of-the-art iGen or Indigo press. If you order more, we’ll print them lithographically using our Heidelberg.

Once you’ve worked on designing a leaflet and have your marketing ready to go, it’s key that you know where they should be distributed. By ordering a stack of cheap flyers, you'll have plenty of potential customers to try and hit! A local business may want to place them in nearby cafés and restaurants, whereas B2B firms should save them for conferences and networking events.

In short, there really isn’t a difference! The reason that both terms are used across our site is that the two are interchangeable. They both have similar characteristics such as they’re unbound, single sheets of printed paper, and can be used for marketing and non-marketing purposes including advertising events, products, services, special offers and promotions.

We’ve been helping businesses like yours since 2009 and we pride ourselves on being the only online printing company that really gets small businesses. Not only that, but every piece of artwork you send to us goes through our unique and rigorous 10-point quality control process.

This means that your artwork is checked by your very own Personal Artworker, who is automatically assigned to you as standard, as soon as you upload your artwork. Your Personal Artworker will review your masterpiece to make sure that your leaflet printing and business flyers are of the highest quality. They check your artwork's compliancy with bleed and safety zones, check whether you have the correct number of sides and pages for the product you're printing, and also whether the resolution is suitable for print!
