Business Flyers

Business Flyer Printing Starts a Conversation and Creates Conversion

Get your message out with high-quality, affordable business flyer printing. Custom business flyers are a tried-and-tested advertising tool that let you target specific audiences without spending a lot of money. Hand out flyers outside your store or display them as reading material in your lounge or reception area. You could also give them away at large events such as conventions and weekend markets. Either way, business flyers shift the customer’s focus to your brand’s new product, offered discount deal or big company announcement.

The Mark of an Industry Standard

We print business flyers on 100 lb. paper. It is also referred to as book weight or text weight paper and is the thickest standard paper stock. It still maintains the flexibility of standard copy paper with a weight thinner than cardstock. This makes folding 100 lb. paper faster and easier for the transport and storage of bulk flyer orders.

100 lb. Paper Stock

• Slightly thicker than a magazine’s pages
• Extremely foldable
• Substantial enough for double-sided printing
• 100% sustainably sourced
• Gloss and matte coating options

Eye-Catching Coating Options

The substantial weight and feel of 100 lb. paper allows for matte, gloss, and high gloss UV coating on both sides of your business flyer design. Our three coating options highlight your company’s big announcement or promo in distinct ways.

• Matte provides a smooth surface and sophisticated touch to your colors. Lengthier text, graphics, and images are easy to read. The surface is writable but still provides protection from scratches. Perfect for real estate flyers handed out an open house.


• Gloss makes every color pop and adds an extra shine to the flyer surface. Highly recommended for business flyers with image heavy designs. Gloss is also fingerprint, ink, and scuff-resistant.


• High gloss UV gives a higher shine than gloss and adds more depth to the printed colors. The coating is also abrasion, chemical, and moisture-resistant. Ideal for flyer distribution that will be handled multiple times or in high traffic, outdoor areas, letting more customers know about your big sale or restaurant opening.

Selecting the Best Size

At 48HourPrint.com, we offer 13 sizes that include several standard options. The wide range guarantees enough space for your real estate flyers, event flyers, or any other promotional announcement. Your preferred size will depend on your design and the distribution method. Below are some of the standard sizes across industries:

• 4.25” x 5.5” is a handy, small size that’s easy to give away and convenient for customers to keep for further reading.


• 6” x 9” flyers are slightly smaller than the standard letter size but provide enough space for large images and blocks of text.


• 8.5” x 11” is the standard letter size (think copy paper) and a common choice for business flyers.

Q&A

How long will it take to print and process my business flyers?

We print custom flyers in just 48 hours or two business days. This 2-day period is referred to as the printing turnaround time, which does not include shipping transit time, weekends, and holidays. This time begins once you have paid for your order and approved the proof.

What is the advantage of using 100 lb. text paper?

100 lb. text paper is thicker than your standard copy paper. This makes it more durable but it does not compromise the lightweight flexibility that copy paper is known for.

What if I want to create a custom business flyer?

What is the advantage of adding shrink wrapping to my order?

Shrink wrapping is the process of wrapping each flyer with clear plastic to protect it from damage during shipping. We highly recommend this option for both small and large quantity orders. You only pay a small additional cost to ensure every flyer is neat and presentable for distribution.
