Designing and printing has never been easier. Follow these simple steps when designing and uploading your artwork. Click on an instruction for more information.
We like to make things as easy as possible for you at Helloprint, which is why we've created some templates. You'll find the most popular artwork templates below. Click on the link to view all available templates.
To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 3 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances.
Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colourmode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.
Force Colour Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Colour Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
Use Rich Black (C:63% M:52% Y:51% K:100%) for larger areas and text to get a deep black colour. Do not use this value for text smaller than 15 pt or plain text. This can only be used in full colour printing.
For designing black smaller texts use 100% black.
Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.

This very much depends on how much you want to communicate on your leaflets. Single sided business flyers will generally be the cheaper option. However, if you want to include additional relevant information to your flyers, double sided flyers gives you the extra space. This way you can ensure the format and design of your ad isn’t jam-packed, but also isn’t missing any crucial details. For instance, unique selling points could be emphasised on the first page, while a map for directions or contact info could make up the back.

Flyer printing is possible in multiple sizes and formats to meet the communication needs of all types of organizations and businesses. However, as advertisers and professionals with commercial graphic design experience will tell you communication agencies and marketing teams usually choose the same dimensions for flyers. In particular, the A5 format is generally the standard flyer size. Either way, it’s essential to think carefully which format will best let you display images and headline text that will appeal to your target audience so that they read your ad.
A7: The A7 format is 74 x 105 mm and is about one eighth of an A4. This would be the smallest size we'd reccomend for printing flyers, any smaller and your target audience might miss them.
A6: The A6 format (size 105x148 mm) is most comparable to the size of a postcard. Though a tad smaller than your average flyer, flyers of this format can still be designed for effective event and offer communication.
A5: The A5 format of about 148 x 210 mm is the standard flyer size used for promotional campaigns and marketing strategies. Flyers of this size are a conveneint size for distribution too.
A4: The A4 format is well known for its 21 x 29.7 cm dimensions because that is the size of a standard piece of paper. This size is useful for companies, business enterprises, and local administrations with a lot of information to share. It can be useful for school leaflets for example, and they can easily be folded, put in an envelope and sent by post.
Square Format: This style of flyers can be used for more personal communication with potential customers. This is quite a unique format to use to share information, but they are an original and elegant choice, which can easily be transformed into invitations.
ALong / Xlong Format: The A-Long (74 x 210 mm) and X-Long (105 x 297 mm) format are both long and slim in appearance; they can be designed to make useful and engaging communication pieces. For example, they can be printed with illustrative details and media attractive to potential customers, who can then use them as bookmarks.

Here are 3 top tips to make your flyer effective at garnering attention:
1. Try using 2 fonts - one for the headline and one for the body. A flyer that has too many fonts is difficult to read and looks unprofessional.
2. Make your headline catchy and easy to read. The shorter it is, the better your chances are of engrossing the reader.
3. Lastly, images are powerful. Try adding a photo instead of loads of text. It works better at drawing a reader in, as large bodies of text can be daunting to read.
