Flier printing
Hi
I need to get some fliers printed, I don't have much experience in printing and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations
So far I have a quote from good print and vista print
Vista print
2500 double sided colour gloss on 250g gloss £120
Good print
2500 double sided colour gloss 350g £185
I would like a quality feeling flyer are either of these prices good? And is it worth going for 350over 250
Many thanks

have you got a pic to post of the flier ? the quality of the finish is what matter not the apaper weight unless your having it printed on both sides I
would ask for a sample print on both papers to compare
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Is that for A4?
I think 350 is a little heavy for a throw away flier.
Unless you've got a captive audience that you want to keep it and pin it on their wall.
Also make sure you get the RIGHT quantities for the supplier pricebreaks

250/350 are way too thick for a flier, it is nearly card, I would use matt finish 100.
Don't forget, it costs more to do a non-standard sheet of paper, I always used A5.

I agree, 350 much too heavy.
But as a design it looks smart enough
Again A5 probably cheeper, else get 2 out of A4 longways and cut more in keeping with your design for a bit of individuality

I've always used printing.com for both LocostBuilders flyers and for my business. Decent service, reasonable pricing.
Using non-standard sized paper isn't that bad as long as it's a multiple of a fixed size. Eg if you wanted a third of A4 that'll
work as there won't be any wastage but if you want a strange fraction or a funny shape where paper will be wasted it will push the cost up.

Just on the flyer itself, Id suggest putting a gap between the code and the number, I take it that is not your acctual number!?

Thanks for all the replies
I have just got a ample pack from goodprint.com (for free unlike many others) and i think 135g or 170g are more than enough
