A flyer is a single sheet that carries one clear message: a sale, a menu, a class schedule, a grand opening. Local businesses in Oakville, Mississauga and Burlington use them for counter handouts, community boards, mailbox drops and event tables. Because it is one sheet, a flyer is also the easiest printed piece to design well.
Options and sizes
Our usual flyer stock is 100lb gloss text, a smooth paper with a bright, glossy finish that makes photos and strong colours stand out. If you want something sturdier, ask about heavier stock. Flyers can be printed on one side or both sides.
Common sizes include:
| Size | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 4.25 x 11 in | Narrow handouts, rack cards, menus |
| 8.5 x 5.5 in | Half-page promos and event notices |
| 8.5 x 11 in | Full-page flyers, price lists, schedules |
Need a different size or a particular finish? Ask us and we will quote it.

Tips for great results
Keep one main message and one call to action. Put the most important line in the top third, and keep the phone number or date easy to read.
Choose paper by how the flyer will be used. Gloss text suits handouts and photo-heavy designs. If people will write on it, such as a coupon or a form, a matte or uncoated option is easier to mark. For a deeper comparison, read our guide to flyer sizes and paper.
Build your file in CMYK with 0.125 inch bleed on all sides and keep text away from the trim edge. Our file setup guide walks through it. A postcard works well for mailers, and a brochure suits longer details.
What is the difference between a flyer and a postcard?
A flyer is usually printed on lighter paper and handed out or posted. A postcard is printed on stiffer stock and is better for mailing or keeping.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Flyers can be one sided or two sided. Two sided is handy for putting a menu on the front and a map or coupon on the back.
Do you deliver flyers outside Oakville?
We print in Oakville and ship across Canada and the USA. Greater Toronto Area customers can also ask about express delivery.
