What flyer design costs
A flyer, leaflet or promotional graphic starts from £125 to design. If you need the same campaign in several formats, for example a flyer, a poster and matching social posts, a multi-format rollout starts from £250, which is usually cheaper than commissioning each piece separately. If you already have a design and just need it set up correctly for your printer, print-ready artwork setup starts from £75. For print costs, flyer printing prices shows what 100 to 10,000 flyers cost in each size.
Choosing a size
A5 (148 x 210mm) is the default for most flyers: big enough for an offer, a few details and a clear call to action. A6 (105 x 148mm) works for handouts, counter cards and vouchers. DL (99 x 210mm) fits a standard envelope and suits price lists and menus. A4 and folded leaflets make sense when you genuinely have more to say, such as a full service list or a takeaway menu. If you are unsure, start with A5 double-sided.
What makes a flyer work
People decide in a couple of seconds whether a flyer is worth reading. The flyers that work have one headline that says what is on offer, one clear reason to act now (a date, a price or an offer), contact details that are impossible to miss, and enough space that nothing feels crammed. I have designed event and promotional flyers for hotels including Hilton and Holiday Inn, from Christmas party nights to themed events, and the rule is always the same: one message, said clearly, with the details easy to find.
Turnaround
Simple flyers can often be turned around in 24–72 hours depending on availability, as long as the text and images are ready. Standard print artwork usually takes 3–5 working days once the brief is agreed. If you have a print deadline for an event or a launch, mention it when you enquire and I will confirm quickly whether it is achievable.
Getting it printed
Every flyer I design is supplied print-ready: correct size, 3mm bleed, safe margins, high-resolution images and print colour settings, exported as a PDF to your printer’s specification. If you already use a Glasgow printer, I will set the files up for them and can send them directly. If not, I can handle print management so you have one point of contact.
