Flyer printing – it’s not just about ink on paper. It is an invitation, an advertorial, an opportunity, an informational eye-catching, teasing, tempting powerful communication. And we can help bring yours to life.
At A Local Printer our priority is to ensure that all our products come with a big tick in the eco-friendly printing box. Our flyer printing makes it a doddle to be seen to be green with our 100% recycled and kraft flyers printed with vegetable oil-based inks or the new generation of eco toners.
Our Printed Flyers are a Carbon Capture product
If you want the ultimate in eco-friendly printed flyers, or are looking to achieve that organic or retro pulp board look which is so popular at the moment, then our 100% Recycled Flyer range is for you. The uncoated finish delivers texture and character to your marketing print, and with a choice of 9 sizes available we cover all the common sizes and then some!
Our Silk and Gloss flyer printing range is one of the most popular products we sell, combining eco credentials with top quality and value for money. Gorgeously smooth to the touch, these 300gsm boards are enhanced by our neutral seal which protects the printed flyers and increases longevity. Super shiny gloss board makes a flyer with extra vavavoom while silk board is a tad more subtle.
From 25 to 1000 our small order flyers are printed digitally on lovely silk art board, super trendy and tactile kraft board or on eco uncoated recycled board.
Choose from eight flat and folded sizes and make the most of our unique multiple sorts option available on this product.
If you want quality, folded/creased flyer printing on robust, thick card these are just the job. After printing these flyers are machine creased (not to be confused with the cheaper "scoring method") to ensure a perfect fold without cracking. Creased once or twice for the ideal mini brochure.
At a Local Printer we offer a select range of menu styles that cover all of the bases – from a cheerful take-away leaflet style to a classic restaurant menu. Ideal as food menus or drinks lists our products come in a tasteful assortment of sizes and papers, all design to tempt you with their quality and affordability.
When deciding upon the format for your bar or restaurant menus consider how many items you need to display without it being too cramped, can you offer a double sided menu with dishes on one side and drinks on the other, for example? How much handling will the menu have and will it be for in-house use or take-away? All of these considerations will play a part in deciding upon the best menu choice for you.
Please do not underestimate the importance of using high-quality artwork! Remember, flyers are a very cost-effective marketing tool. The nightclub industry has been using them for years, but they are also used extensively by all sectors of business - from the butcher, baker and candlestick maker through to major blue chip companies, charities and the public sector. If you need your flyers designing then we can help - we offer fixed prices for our design services. Available to order on the product page in 'Build Your Order' for instant pricing.

If you are investing in having some flyers printed it is worth knowing which paper you want as they all have different characteristics. One of the most common misconceptions is that a matt material is the same as an uncoated material; We are often asked for matt printing when the product actually wanted is an uncoated (recycled) flyer.
So, what is the difference between Uncoated, Matt, Silk and Gloss Flyers?
Put simply uncoated paper is exactly that - it has not been treated in any way and has had no additional finishing, or coating, applied to the surface. It is the best material for writing on with all types of instruments and has a tactile, pulpy feel. Its downside is that it is an absorbent material and can result in 'flatter' images if it is litho printed with wet inks.
Matt Art and Silk Art are often the same material, just to confuse things! It has a soft sheen or neutral finish that is good for visuals and has been treated to improve the brightness and soft feel of the paper. Gloss Art is a high shine material which provides for lots of contrast and images with impact.
What about Kraft Flyers?
Kraft paper and board also uncoated and an altogether different animal in that it is a strong brown colour which will affect your design. Think of it this way; If you wanted to paint your dark brown wall yellow it is not going to show up very well and you will still see the brown behind it. This is exactly the same with kraft, especially if it is printed litho with wet inks. Printing digitally will give you a much better result, but best to be aware of these little foibles in advance!
What flyer printing is best for me?
Opt for the uncoated recycled flyers if you want an organic or retro pulp board look for your product, or choose the silk or gloss coated art boards if you want your flyers to have a higher colour contrast and a smoother finish to the touch.
Kraft will give you the ultimate retro and organic style flyer. It is also tactile and pulpy, with a satisfying thickness to the touch.
