Flyers continue to be one of the most effective and affordable marketing tools available. Whether you’re advertising a local event, promoting a new product, or increasing brand awareness, professionally printed flyers help your message stand out and get results.
At Fast Print UK, we print flyers in a wide range of sizes to suit every campaign. The key is choosing the right size for your message, audience, and distribution method. This guide will help you do exactly that.
A Simple Guide to Flyer Sizes
Different flyer sizes serve different purposes. Below is a practical overview of the most popular flyer formats and how they are commonly used.
Standard A-Size Flyers
- A7
Ideal for small handouts, vouchers, or promotional cards. Compact enough to fit into pockets or wallets. - A6
A great balance between size and portability. Perfect for takeaway menus, event handouts, or discount flyers. - A5
Our most popular flyer size. Excellent for general promotions, product launches, and events, with plenty of space for clear messaging and strong visuals. - A4
Best for detailed content, price lists, menus, or flyers that double as information sheets. - A3
The largest flyer option. Ideal for posters, in-store promotions, or designs that rely heavily on bold imagery.
Square & Special Flyer Sizes
- Small Square
Compact and creative. Perfect for modern branding and eye-catching promotions. - Medium Square
Similar in width to A5, offering a stylish, contemporary look while maintaining readability. - Large Square
Bold and impactful. Comparable in size to A4 but with a distinctive square format. - DL
Slim and professional. Commonly used for menus, price lists, and direct mail campaigns. - A-Long
Elegant and narrow. Ideal for bookmarks, inserts, or premium promotional materials. - X-Long
Tall and narrow, approximately half the width of A4. Excellent for unique layouts and standout designs.
Bleed and Margins: A Must for Professional Printing
When designing your flyer, it’s important to allow for bleed and safe margins.
- Bleed ensures your design extends beyond the trim edge, preventing unwanted white borders after cutting.
- Margins keep important text and logos safely away from the edge, ensuring nothing is cut off during finishing.
