Everything about the
DL Size

What is the DL size for paper?

The DL format is a popular paper size, particularly known for its sleek and compact design. It measures 99 x 210 mm and is an excellent choice when you need a professional and space-efficient format. This size is often used for promotional print, such as brochures, flyers, and invitations.

Due to its practical dimensions, DL format is easy to distribute and fits perfectly into standard envelopes, making it ideal for direct mail campaigns and handouts. Its elongated shape also allows for an elegant and modern design layout, ensuring your message is communicated effectively.

When should I use DL for printing?

The DL size is highly versatile and can be adapted to various printed products, depending on their purpose and target audience.

Flyers

DL size is an excellent choice for flyers and promotional handouts, especially when they need to be easily distributed in bulk. Their sleek and compact format makes them easy to carry and hand out at events, trade shows, and storefronts.
Although DL is not as commonly stocked in standard printers, many printing systems can be adjusted accordingly. Other common uses for this format include price lists, menus, and promotional inserts.

Booklets

At Helloprint, we offer stapled booklets in DL format, available in multiple finishes. You can customise them with different paper weights for the inner pages and premium-quality covers to enhance durability and visual appeal.

Folded leaflets

Our DL folded leaflets are printed in full color and are designed to maximise your marketing impact. They are available in a range of paper grammes, including thin, medium, standard, and thick, allowing you to choose the right balance between affordability and premium quality.
Additionally, we offer finishes such as glossy, matte, and easy-write to give your brochures an extra touch of professionalism and practicality.

The right resolution for printing DL

When printing a DL image, it is important to ensure the correct configuration for optimal print quality. The recommended resolution for a DL image is 99 x 210 mm at 300 dpi (dots per inch).
Make sure to include bleed to prevent unwanted white borders on your final print. A 3mm margin on all sides is recommended. Not sure if you have set up the bleed correctly? Check our free Canva templates on the product page of the item you are ordering.
