What is the standard size for a flyer?
The most common flyer sizes are 8.5" x 11" (letter), 5.5" x 8.5" (half page), and 11" x 17" (tabloid). Letter size fits standard envelopes, racks, and handout situations. Half page works well for counter displays and inserts. Tabloid and 13" x 19" Super B are popular for high-impact posters and trade show handouts.
What paper stock is best for flyers?
For most promotional flyers, 100 lb gloss text is the most popular choice. It is substantial enough to feel professional without being so thick it is difficult to fold or stack. For a premium feel, 80 lb cover or soft touch laminated text paper works well. For basic handouts or high quantities, 60 to 70 lb uncoated or gloss text saves cost without sacrificing print quality.
How much does flyer printing cost?
Flyer printing cost depends on quantity, size, paper stock, sides printed, and finishing options. As a general guide, printing 500 letter size flyers on 100 lb gloss text, full color both sides, typically runs between $80 and $150. Larger quantities reduce the per piece cost significantly.

What file format should I submit for flyer printing?
Press quality PDF is preferred. Set up your file at actual print size with 0.125" bleed on all sides, images at 300 DPI, text converted to outlines or with fonts embedded, and in CMYK color mode. We also accept Adobe InDesign (packaged with links and fonts), Illustrator, and Photoshop files. We review every file before production and contact you if anything needs correction before printing.
How long does flyer printing take?
Standard turnaround at Printing Partners is 3 to 5 business days from approved files. Rush options are available on many quantities. Call 317-635-2282 to confirm what is possible for your timeline. Will call pickup is available at 929 W 16th Street, Indianapolis, or we can ship or deliver locally.
Can you print and mail flyers for a direct mail campaign?
Yes. Printing Partners handles both offset and digital flyer printing plus full USPS mailing services including addressing, barcoding, sorting, and post office drop. We support EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) for neighborhood saturation campaigns and targeted list mail. One vendor handles everything from print to delivered.
What is the minimum order for flyer printing?
Minimums depend on the print method. Digital printing allows short runs starting at 25 to 100 copies for most flyer sizes. Offset printing becomes cost effective at quantities of 500 and above, with significantly lower per piece costs at 1,000 and up. We recommend the right method based on your quantity and budget.
Do you offer design services for flyers?
Yes. Our in-house design team can create a flyer from a brief. Give us your message, brand colors, and any images you have and we build a print ready layout. We can also refine or adjust existing designs to meet press specifications. Design is quoted separately. Request an estimate and ask about design services.
