Stock choice

Which flyer stock should I choose?

Silk for volume distribution, uncoated for foil-stamp work, Colorplan and GF Smith for the brand flyer that has to be kept. Pick by the room and by how long you want the flyer to live.

Product launch postcard flyers printed on silk stock in London
  • Silk is the high-distribution default. A5 leaflet printing on 130gsm silk is the campaign flyer, the restaurant menu, the food-market promotion. 170gsm is the sturdier middle for DL menus and marketing handouts that get re-read. Cheap leaflet printing has its place, and we will print 5,000 on 130gsm silk for the letterbox-drop run.

  • Uncoated card is the foil-stamp default. A5 flyer printing on 300gsm uncoated, foil-stamped, is the gallery private-view invitation. Holds hot foil, machine-creases cleanly if folded, and reads in the hand as a brand artefact rather than a campaign throwaway. The natural choice for the 200 to 500-unit private-view run.

  • The brand flyer that survives the recycling bin. 350gsm Colorplan with spot UV and soft-touch laminate feels closer to a wedding invitation than a takeaway menu. 270gsm GF Smith with a foil-stamped logo reads as a brand artefact. The unit cost is higher; the conversion rate is higher by more. The cap most online flyer printing UK operations do not stock.

  • 100% recycled stock is available across every standard weight from 130gsm to 350gsm card, the standard upgrade for sustainable leaflet printing UK projects where the credential on the back is part of the brief. Common for charity fundraising drops at 5,000 to 20,000 units, and for ESG-conscious agency briefs. PVC-free options on request.

What counts as same-day

Standard A4, A5, A6 or DL flyers on 130 to 170gsm silk, gloss, uncoated or recycled, single or double-sided, single-sheet (unfolded). Clean PDF, 300dpi, CMYK, 3mm bleed. Files cleared, ICC-profiled against your brand reference, strip-proofed on the actual stock before commit, then printed, cut and packed for collection that afternoon.

What we ship next-day instead

Premium-finished work where the finish curing time is real: spot UV, hot foil, soft-touch laminate, die-cut shapes, edge-painting, duplexed flyers above 600gsm. Volume above 5,000 with full finishing typically runs two to three days. Tell us the deadline on the call. Straight yes or no, no soft promises and no fixed-cutoff loss of the late-afternoon caller.

Collection, courier, or letterbox-drop

Walk in to 8 Avery Row in Mayfair or 23-27 King's Terrace in Camden and collect with the artwork check still warm. Book same-day London courier on top, quoted per drop. Next-day tracked covers 99% of the UK; EU delivery is quoted per job. For W1 restaurants briefing the evening drop, we have stacked 5,000 DL flyers ready for the evening drop.

Phone Mayfair020 7495 0421

Email post@cityimages.co.uk with the brief, the file and the deadline, and we quote straight back. For other same-day work, see our same-day printing in London hub.

Sizes & folds

What size and fold fits which job?

Every standard flyer size, most non-standard ones cut to brief, and every fold machine-creased in-house at Camden so heavy stock never cracks along the spine. Pick by where it lands; 90 seconds with the swatch book settles the rest.

  • Postcard-sized. Till-point handout, event invite, short promotional message. Pairs well with 250gsm silk and spot UV for retail fashion-week handouts and pop-up openings.

  • Letterbox drop, envelope insert, dispenser rack. The default for tri-fold restaurant menus, direct-mail inserts, property development localised drops in W1 and Belgravia.

  • The default. Campaign flyer, restaurant menu, programme. A5 on 130gsm silk for high distribution, A5 on 300gsm uncoated foil-stamped for the gallery private-view invitation. The size most clients mean when they ring for "a flyer".

  • Property sheet, conference handout, presentation insert. The largest standard single-sheet flyer, the size that doubles as a one-page brochure when the brief asks for more room for image and copy than A5 allows.

  • Square, slim, oversized, die-cut. CNC-cut to any custom shape, rounded corners, perforation, cut-out windows. For square flyer printing, fashion-week handouts, pop-up openings, gala launches. Walk in with the dimensions and we will run a strip proof first.

  • Fits a #10 envelope and a dispenser rack. Restaurant menu, corporate overview, direct-mail insert. DL tri-fold on 170gsm silk runs from 500.

  • Two outer panels fold inward to reveal a full-width interior. Property launch, fashion lookbook, tasting menu. A4 gate-fold on 350gsm Colorplan, quoted per spec.

  • Three or four equal panels. Step-by-step instructions, event programmes, gallery floor maps.

  • The quickest fold off the press. Foyer programme, fast-turn menu. Roll-fold and double-gate-fold on request, quoted per fold + stock.

  • Coated stocks at 170gsm and above crack along the spine when hand-folded: the coating splits, the ink lifts, the fold reads broken in the buyer’s hand. Machine creasing puts a controlled channel across the fibre line before the fold, so the stock bends rather than tears. Every folded leaflet at City Images is machine-creased in-house at Camden, no third-party finisher, same job ticket, and the person who pressed the proof signs off the finished fold. For a folded brief plus stock guidance on one call, phone Camden on 020 7874 1900.

Buyer mix · The customer week

Who walks in for flyers

The customer mix is the widest of any service we run. In a typical week we print for restaurants, galleries, property developers, brand activations, events, charities and agencies. Each segment has its own size, stock and finish default, but every job runs through the same artwork check at the counter.

Most commodity printing handbill operations cap at 170gsm gloss and ship from a Yorkshire warehouse on a 3-day SLA. The Mayfair restaurant briefing the Friday-night drop on a Wednesday morning has no use for that. The Soho gallery wanting 350gsm Colorplan with a copper foil for Thursday's private view has no use for that. Two walk-in studios in central London, the full premium-stock library on the shelf, and the artwork check happens at the counter, not in a help-desk ticket queue. The buyer mix is the widest of any service we run because the trade-off most online flyer printing operations make on stock and turnaround does not work for the W1 brief.

For multi-page documents over eight pages, see our booklet and brochure printing page. For matching business cards, walk in with the brief and we will price both on the same call. For brands that want the flyer designed as well as printed, our in-house design team runs full leaflet design and print from a brief or a sketch on the counter, then runs a strip proof on the same stock before commit.

Walk in to Mayfair (8 Avery Row) or Camden (23-27 King's Terrace). Bring a USB and we will check before we print.

Premium finishing

Spot UV, hot foil, soft-touch, die-cut

A standard A5 silk flyer is effective. A flyer with a spot UV pattern, a soft-touch laminate, a hot foil logo, or a die-cut shape is memorable. Spot UV, soft-touch and die-cut run in-house at Camden on the same job ticket; hot foil is available fast in many options.

Spot UV is the cheapest way to make a flyer feel like a brand artefact. A selective gloss varnish, raised slightly off the surface, applied over a matt or soft-touch base. Pick out a logo, a tagline, or a pattern across the whole flyer. The contrast between the matt base and the high-gloss UV mark is what reads premium in the hand. Best at 300gsm uncoated or 350gsm Colorplan where the base has enough body to support the finish. Common on gallery private-view invitations, fashion-brand activations, restaurant rebrands.

Every colour available fast in many options. Gold and silver are the everyday choices for invitations and luxury brands. Copper and rose-gold sit well on warm earth tones for restaurants and natural-wine bars. Holographic foil reads as a stamp of authenticity for ticketed events. Best foiled flat on flat panels, foil-stamped logos hold sharp down to 6pt detail on uncoated 300gsm. See our foil printing and embossing page for the full finishing lineup including blind emboss and deep-impression deboss.

Soft-touch lamination is a velvet-feel finish across the whole flyer, pairs with spot UV for the tactile contrast that converts at private-view scale. Die-cutting cuts custom shapes, rounded corners, perforation, cut-out windows, all CNC-cut at Camden. Edge-paint and duplexing for the 600gsm-plus brand flyer that has to feel like a calling card. For brands that want the flyer designed as well as printed, our in-house design team runs full leaflet design and print from a brief, then runs a strip proof on the same stock before we commit.

Call us directly

Yes. Walk into Mayfair or Camden with a clean PDF, or email post@cityimages.co.uk, and the flyers are ready same-day for collection or central-London courier. Standard sizes on 130 to 350gsm stock all run same-day on our digital presses. Phone the studio to confirm your slot. For premium-finished work, next day flyer printing is the realistic turnaround.

Pricing depends on size, stock, quantity and finish. 500 A5 on 130gsm silk sit at our entry tier. 1,000 DL on 170gsm a step up. A 350gsm Colorplan flyer print with spot UV and foil prices closer to a small brochure. Most standard flyers are zero-rated for VAT, so what we quote is what you pay. Email post@cityimages.co.uk for a quote.

Most standard promotional flyers and leaflets are zero-rated for VAT in the UK. Exceptions include admission tickets, discount vouchers with a printed face value, and items where the writable area covers more than 25% of the surface. We confirm at quote stage.

A5 (148 x 210mm) is the default for campaign flyers, restaurant menus and event programmes, where you need room for image and copy. A6 (105 x 148mm) is postcard-sized, better for short promotional messages and till-point handouts. DL (99 x 210mm) is the standard for letterbox drops and envelope inserts. Handle the samples on the counter before you decide.

We print digitally up to 550gsm and combine stocks above that with glue duplexing, so a 700gsm edge-painted flyer is possible. The everyday premium ceiling is 350gsm Colorplan or GF Smith, which feels like a brochure cover. Most online flyer printing UK competitors cap at 350gsm gloss.

Yes. Our in-house team handles leaflet design and print from a brief, the logo and the copy, then runs a strip proof on the same stock before we commit. Email post@cityimages.co.uk with the brief and brand colours.

PDF preferred, 300dpi, CMYK, 3mm bleed. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD and TIFF. Free file check at either counter, every time.

Same-day on standard 130 to 170gsm stock for a clean file. Premium stocks with finishing (spot UV, foil, soft-touch, die-cut) typically run next-day because the finish curing time is real. Volume over 5,000 with full finishing runs two to three days. Tell us your deadline on the call.

Close, not identical. We convert RGB to CMYK on our own ICC profile and honour Pantone references inside a 2 dE tolerance. Screen-to-print drift is roughly 5 to 10 percent at the deepest blues, reds and greens. For colour-critical work we run a strip proof on the actual stock before we commit.

Two walk-in studios. 8 Avery Row in Mayfair W1, a short walk from Bond Street, Oxford Circus and Green Park. 23-27 King's Terrace in Camden NW1, between Camden Town and Mornington Crescent. Flyer printing near me and leaflet printing near me cover most of central and north London from the nearer of the two floors. Walk-in collection is free. Same day leaflet printing on standard stocks clears for evening collection. Same-day London courier quoted per drop, next-day tracked covers 99% of the UK; EU delivery is quoted per job.

Tri-fold, gate-fold, Z-fold, bi-fold, roll-fold and double-gate-fold, all machine-creased and folded in-house at Camden. Machine creasing prevents the cracking that hand-folding produces on 170gsm-and-above coated stocks. No third-party finisher in the chain.

Yes, across every standard weight from 130gsm up to 350gsm card, the standard upgrade for sustainable leaflet printing UK projects where the credential on the back is part of the brief. 90% of everything we print already ships on FSC-approved stock. PVC-free options on request.
