Choosing the right flyer size can make a real difference to how your design looks, how much information you can include and how your flyers will be distributed. From compact A7 and A6 handouts to larger A3 promotional flyers, each format is suited to different types of marketing.
Use our flyer size guide below to compare the finished dimensions, popular uses and advantages of each format. We offer A7, A6, A5, A4, A3, DL and square flyer printing, with short print runs available for businesses, events, promotions and local advertising.
| Flyer Format | Finished Size | Ideal For | Why Choose This Size? |
|---|---|---|---|
| A7 | 74 x 105mm | Appointment reminders, discount vouchers, promotional handouts, event tickets, loyalty offers and small inserts for parcels or shopping bags. | Small, lightweight and economical for short messages. |
| A6 | 105 x 148mm | Door-to-door advertising, local business promotions, takeaway offers, event handouts, vouchers and compact promotional leaflets. | Compact enough to hand out while still providing useful space. |
| A5 | 148 x 210mm | Promotional campaigns, menus, price lists, event advertising, service information, product launches and general business marketing. | A versatile all-round size with a good balance of impact and cost. |
| A4 | 210 x 297mm | Detailed service guides, price lists, menus, newsletters, property particulars, event programmes and information sheets. | Provides plenty of room for detailed information and larger images. |
| A3 | 297 x 420mm | Posters, shop-window advertising, event promotion, menus, price lists, public notices and displays designed to be seen from a greater distance. | Offers strong visibility for posters and prominent displays. |
| DL | 99 x 210mm | Takeaway menus, price lists, service leaflets, letterbox drops, rack displays, appointment information and inserts for standard DL envelopes. | Slim, professional and well suited to menus, mailings and display stands. |
| 148mm square | 148 x 148mm | Creative promotions, beauty and lifestyle marketing, invitations, product launches, social-media campaigns, menus and eye-catching event advertising. | A distinctive shape that helps marketing stand out from standard formats. |
A5 is a popular all-round choice for promotional flyers, while A6 is ideal when you need something smaller and easy to hand out. DL flyers work particularly well for menus, price lists and letterbox campaigns, while A4 and A3 formats provide more room for detailed information or designs that need greater visibility.
The best size will depend on your artwork, the amount of information you need to include and how the flyers will be used. Select a flyer format above to view the available paper, printing and quantity options.
Flyers are a simple and flexible way to promote a business, event, service, offer or organisation. At Short Run Print, you can order professionally printed flyers in a choice of popular UK sizes, with quantities suited to both smaller print runs and larger campaigns.
Choose from A7, A6, A5, A4, A3, DL and 148mm square flyers, with single or double-sided printing available. Different paper and card options are offered including gloss, silk and uncoated finishes, allowing you to choose a stock that suits both the design and the way your flyers will be used.
Short Run Print is UK based, with free standard delivery on every order and dispatch within 24 hours. If you already have your artwork ready, simply upload your design and preview it before placing your order.
Printed flyers are suitable for a wide range of business, promotional and informational uses. Smaller formats such as A7 and A6 work particularly well for handouts, vouchers, inserts and compact promotions, while A5 is a popular all-round size for advertising services, events and special offers.
The paper you choose can make a noticeable difference to the appearance and feel of a printed flyer. There is no single paper type that is best for every job, so it is worth considering your artwork, how the flyers will be distributed and the overall appearance you want to achieve.
Gloss paper has a smooth, reflective finish and works particularly well with colourful designs and photography. It is often chosen for promotional flyers where strong images and bold colours are an important part of the design.
Silk paper has a smoother, less reflective appearance. It provides a good balance between image reproduction and readability and is a versatile choice for business advertising, events, services and general promotional material.
Uncoated paper has a more natural paper feel without the coated surface of gloss or silk. It can be particularly suitable for designs where a softer appearance is preferred or where the flyer may need to be written on after printing.
Single-sided printing works well when your message is short and can be communicated clearly on one side of the sheet. This might include a simple promotion, event announcement, voucher or business advertisement.
Double-sided flyers give you additional space without increasing the physical size of the flyer. The front can be used for the main message or headline while the reverse provides room for further details, opening times, services, directions, terms or other supporting information. When preparing a double-sided design, try to avoid treating the reverse as an afterthought. Both sides can form part of the same piece of printed marketing and should be easy for the reader to understand.
Selecting the correct finished size before creating your artwork can prevent unnecessary resizing later. A-series sizes follow the same proportions as they increase in size, making it relatively straightforward to adapt suitable artwork between formats.
A6 and A5 are particularly common choices for promotional handouts, while A4 and A3 provide much larger areas for designs containing additional information. DL and square flyers use different proportions, so artwork originally designed for an A-series page may need to be rearranged rather than simply resized.
Short Run Print is designed for customers who already have their own artwork and want a straightforward way to have it professionally printed.
Your design might have been prepared by a graphic designer, created using your preferred design software or produced using an online or AI-assisted design tool. We do not provide pre-designed flyer templates for you to customise; instead, you upload your completed artwork when ordering.
The artwork uploader allows you to upload and preview your file before purchase, giving you an opportunity to check that you have selected the intended design before completing your order.
If you are designing your flyer before ordering, choose the intended finished size first and build your artwork around those dimensions. This gives you much greater control over text sizes, margins, images and the overall layout.
Artwork created for a different proportion may need to be adjusted rather than simply scaled. This is particularly important when converting between A-series, DL and square flyer formats.
Not every promotion requires thousands of copies. Short-run printing gives businesses and organisations the flexibility to print the quantity they actually need, whether flyers are being produced for a local event, a temporary offer, a new menu, a price change or a smaller targeted campaign.
Printing shorter quantities can also be useful when information changes regularly. Rather than holding a large quantity of outdated material, you can update the artwork and order another run when required.
At Short Run Print, our flyer range is intended to make ordering your own artwork straightforward. Select your required size, paper, print options and quantity, upload your artwork and preview your design before completing the order. Standard UK delivery is free on all orders, with printing dispatched within 24 hours.
A5 and A6 are popular choices for general promotional flyers because they provide a useful balance between print area, portability and ease of distribution. The best size for your flyer will depend on how much information you need to include and how the finished flyers will be used.
Gloss paper has a shinier, more reflective finish that suits colourful artwork and photography. Silk provides a smoother, less reflective appearance, while uncoated paper has a more natural paper feel and can be a good choice where writing on the finished flyer may be required.
Single-sided printing is suitable when all of the important information fits comfortably on one side. Double-sided printing provides extra space for supporting information while keeping the same finished flyer size.
Yes. Short Run Print is designed for customers supplying their own completed artwork. Upload your design when ordering and use the preview to check your artwork before purchase.
No. We do not provide pre-designed flyer templates for customisation. You can supply artwork you have created yourself, commissioned from a designer or produced using suitable design software or an AI-assisted design service.
Flyer orders are dispatched within 24 hours. Free standard delivery is included on every order.
