A Simple Guide to Flyer size.

What is a Flyer? A Flyer is usually a single, unfolded printed sheet that is used to draw attention to an event, service, product or idea. A flyer usually contains a very simple message that can be conveyed quickly.

Types of Flyers

  1. Handbills
  2. Pamphlets
  3. Posters

Flyer Sizes

The size of the flyer depends on its intended uses. The best size for handbills is A5, while if you are just looking for something to slip in a small bag, A6 will pass; but if you are looking for something to be read from across the street, then consider A4 or A3 posters.

A3 297mm X 420mm

A4 210mm X 297mm

A5 148mm X 210mm

A6 105mm X 148mm

Custom Size

A3 posters/flyers are perfect for wall posters as they will be readable at a glance even from across the street, A4 posters will also fit into this category. A5 flyers and A6 flyers are meant to be handed out, and they are perfect for this due to their portability and size. Custom sizes are also available if the official sizes do not fit the business present need. At Waaprint, we print any of these flyer sizes, and you can even get your desired custom size.

Flyer Material/Paper

Flyer materials come majorly in two types: gloss and matte: Gloss and Matte. A glossy surface will reflect light rays in the same direction, leading to a “shiny” effect at certain angles, while a matte surface will reflect the light in different directions, diffusing the light so there is less glare.
