Custom Flyers in Canada: The Complete Buying Guide (From $59, 100lb Glossy, AQ or UV Coated, Multiple Sizes)

Order custom flyers in Canada from $59 — 100lb glossy stock, full-colour CMYK both sides, AQ coated Standard ($59) or UV coated Premium ($119), multiple sizes from 5×7 to 11×17, manufactured in-house at our Toronto facility with 24-hour turnaround, delivered next business day across the GTHA and Canada-wide. If you run a promotion, host an event, recruit staff, distribute menus or run a hand-out marketing campaign, flyers remain one of the lowest cost-per-impression printed marketing tools in the catalog. This guide compares our Standard and Premium flyer tiers and walks you through what makes a flyer that actually gets read instead of dropped.

Standard vs Premium Flyers — The Comparison

Stock	100lb glossy	100lb glossy
Print	Full-colour 4/4 CMYK	Full-colour 4/4 CMYK
Coating	AQ gloss both sides (writeable)	UV gloss both sides (high-shine)
Print quality	Offset 300LPI / 2400DPI	Offset 300LPI / 2400DPI
Sizes available	5×7, 5.5×8.5, 8.5×11, 11×17	5×7, 5.5×8.5, 8.5×11, 11×17
Best for	High-volume distribution, lowest per-piece cost, writeable	Premium events, photo-heavy promotions, brands where finish matters

Standard at $59 is among the lowest-priced printed marketing pieces in our catalog. Premium at $119 is double the price for the same paper and print quality — the difference is purely the UV coating that makes colours pop dramatically and feels more substantial. For mass-distribution campaigns where you might print 5,000+ pieces, Standard is the right answer. For event invitations, premium services or photo-heavy promotions, Premium is worth the upgrade.

Flyer vs Brochure vs Postcard — Which One Do You Actually Need?

Three formats, three different use cases:

• Flyer — single-sheet promotional piece, distributed by hand or posted on community boards. One message, one offer, one decision. Best for event promotion, seasonal sales and quick promotional pushes. Pair with our Roll-Up Banners for event marketing.
• Brochure — folded multi-panel piece with room for detailed information. Best for service explanations, restaurant menus, professional service descriptions where a flyer would not have enough room.
• Postcard — small format for direct-mail. Best for neighborhood targeting, appointment reminders and save-the-dates where the recipient gets it in their mailbox.

Picking the right format matters more than the design. A flyer asking a recipient to read a brochure-amount of content gets discarded. A brochure used as a flyer wastes money on panels nobody folds open. Match the format to how the piece will be consumed.

Flyer Design Best Practices

Flyers get glanced at for 2 seconds before the recipient decides to read or discard. Designs that survive triage:

• One clear headline that drives the decision. Not your business name. The specific reason to act — “Grand Opening Sale Saturday”, “$25 First Visit”, “Free Quote Today Only.”
• One striking visual. A photo of the event, the product or the result. Real images outperform stock by 2-3x.
• One specific call to action. Phone number, date, location, QR code. Vague “learn more” copy underperforms specifics.
• Limited text. A flyer with 20 words crushes a flyer with 200 words. Editing is harder than writing; ruthlessly cut.
• High-contrast colours. Flyers in mailboxes, on community boards and on countertops compete with chaos. Subtle pastels disappear; bold colours survive.
• White space. A flyer that breathes converts better than a flyer cramming everything in. Trust the reader to want to know more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Standard and Premium Flyers?

Coating. Both use 100lb glossy stock and full-colour 4/4 print. Standard uses AQ coating (writeable, soft semi-gloss). Premium uses UV coating (high-shine, vibrant colours, not writeable). For mass distribution, Standard. For premium-feel marketing, Premium.

How many flyers should I order?

For a single event, 500 to 1,000. For hand-out marketing or community board distribution, 1,000 to 5,000. Per-piece cost drops noticeably at 2,500+ quantities.

What size flyer should I order?

5×7 and 5.5×8.5 are pocket-friendly hand-out sizes. 8.5×11 is the standard for community board posting and door-to-door distribution. 11×17 is the tabloid size for window displays and high-impact event promotions.

Can you design my flyer?

Yes. Send us your event details, photos and brand guidelines, and our design team will create a print-ready layout. Free PDF proof before printing.

How fast can I get flyers if my event is next week?

PDF proof within one business day, printing within 24 hours of approval, next-business-day GTHA delivery. Same-day Toronto rush courier available on orders confirmed before 11 AM ET.

Can flyers be distributed door-to-door?

Yes — hand-delivered to doorknobs, fence posts, or in-person hand-outs. Canada Post regulations prohibit placing non-mail in residential mailboxes. For mailbox-delivered marketing, use postcards via Canada Post addressed mail instead.

Can I order matching brochures, business cards and door hangers?

Yes — flyers + brochures + business cards + door hangers as a coordinated marketing campaign kit ships in one shipment from our Toronto facility.
