The flyer is the fastest, most affordable way to put your message in front of real people: one sheet, full colour, zero friction. Printed at the First Press facility at 9300 Henri-Bourassa Blvd in Montreal, our flyers combine sharp, vibrant output with quality stocks and finishes, so even a simple handout reflects well on your brand. Print one side or both, and use variable data printing to tailor names, offers, or promo codes to each recipient.
Whether you are a restaurant announcing a new menu, a gym running a January promotion, or an organizer filling seats for Saturday night, flyers deliver reach at a price that makes generous distribution easy.
Customers print flyers for grand openings and store promotions, concerts and nightlife events, door-to-door and mailbox distribution, community fundraisers, menu and price announcements, political and advocacy campaigns, package inserts that drive repeat purchases, counter handouts, inserts for pocket folder sales kits, and bulletin board postings around campuses and neighbourhoods.
8.5" x 11" is the classic flyer and doubles as a poster on a community board; smaller cuts like 5.5" x 8.5" lower the cost per piece and feel handier for street distribution. For paper, 100lb gloss text is the sweet spot for handouts: bright colour, nice snap, low cost. Step up to 100lb gloss cover or 14pt cardstock when you want the piece to survive a mailbox or double as a small sign.
Coating shapes the impression. Gloss with AQ makes photography and bold colour jump, while matte reads upscale and stays legible under harsh light. If recipients need to write on the flyer, for example an RSVP or order form, keep at least one area uncoated or choose matte stock.
Set up your file in CMYK at 300dpi with 0.125" bleed on all sides and keep text 0.25" inside the trim. Because flyers are inexpensive per piece, quantity breaks are dramatic: printing more usually costs only slightly more, so plan for the whole campaign in one run. Orders over $200 ship free by ground.
Single-sided is cheapest and works for posting on boards. Double-sided nearly doubles your space for a small extra cost, perfect for pairing a bold visual on the front with details, maps, or coupons on the back.
100lb gloss text holds up well and keeps the per-piece cost low for high volumes. If you want the flyer to feel more like a card and resist bending, choose 14pt cardstock.
Yes. Variable data printing changes text or images from copy to copy in one run, letting you print unique promo codes or personalized greetings that make tracking and response measurement easy.
Most customers typically start with 250 to 500 for a single event or neighbourhood drop, then scale up once they see the response. Price breaks are steep, so ordering the whole campaign in one run usually costs less overall.
Always supply a print-ready PDF with at least 1/8 inch (0.125 in) of bleed on every side and crop marks included, built in CMYK. Keep important text and logos at least 1/8 inch inside the trim line so nothing is cut off. If you are not sure how to export it that way, our file preparation guide walks through the exact settings for Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Word. Prefer to design it yourself? Use the personalization option in the upload section to build your artwork right on the page before you order.
