Custom Printed Flyers for Marketing and Events
Custom printed flyers remain one of the most cost-effective marketing tools for businesses, events, and organizations. Teal Packaging produces high-quality flyers that deliver your message with professional presentation and durable construction. Our flyers work for retail promotions, event announcements, restaurant menus, real estate listings, and direct mail campaigns.
Material Options and Specifications
We print flyers on premium paper stocks selected for durability and print quality. Standard options include 100 lb gloss text, 100 lb matte text, and 80 lb uncoated offset. Gloss finishes provide vibrant color reproduction and professional sheen. Matte finishes reduce glare and work well for text-heavy content. Uncoated stocks accept handwriting and stamps, making them practical for forms and tear-off sections.
Flyer sizes range from standard 8.5x11 inches to custom dimensions. We also produce half-page (5.5x8.5), quarter-page (4.25x5.5), and oversized formats. Full-color printing (CMYK) comes standard on both sides or single-sided depending on your needs. Our digital and offset printing capabilities handle both short and long runs with consistent quality.
Available Paper Stocks
- 100 lb gloss text: High-shine finish, excellent color vibrancy
- 100 lb matte text: Low-glare surface, professional appearance
- 80 lb uncoated offset: Natural feel, accepts writing
- Recycled content options: 30% or 100% post-consumer waste
- Custom weights: 70 lb to 130 lb text available
Design and Printing Services
Our printing process uses industry-standard color management to ensure your brand colors reproduce accurately. We accept print-ready PDFs with bleed and crop marks, or we can prepare your files for printing. Full CMYK printing delivers rich colors and sharp text. Spot color matching (Pantone) is available for brand consistency on larger orders.
Finishing options include trimming, corner rounding, and hole drilling for distribution. We can also perforate flyers for tear-off coupons or reply cards. UV coating adds a protective layer and increases durability for high-traffic distribution.
Pricing and Order Quantities
Teal Packaging maintains a minimum order quantity of 100 units for custom flyers. Our tiered pricing structure provides better per-unit costs at higher volumes. Current pricing reflects standard 8.5x11 inch flyers with full-color printing on 100 lb gloss text:
- 100 units: Premium pricing for small batches and testing
- 500 units: Mid-tier pricing, popular for local campaigns
- 1,000 units: Best per-unit value for ongoing distribution
- 2,500+ units: Volume discounts available, contact for quote
Specialty finishes, custom sizes, and premium papers affect final pricing. Request a detailed quote with your exact specifications for accurate pricing. We provide itemized quotes showing all costs including setup, printing, finishing, and shipping.
Production Timeline
Standard production time runs 15-20 business days from artwork approval. This includes prepress work, printing, finishing, quality control, and preparation for shipping. Rush orders may be available with expedited fees. We send digital proofs within 2-3 business days of receiving your files.
Factors affecting timeline include quantity, finishing requirements, and current production schedule. Reorders of previously printed flyers typically process faster since artwork is on file. We provide production updates at key milestones and tracking information when orders ship.
Common Applications
Businesses use custom flyers across numerous marketing channels. Retail stores distribute flyers for sales announcements, new product launches, and seasonal promotions. Restaurants print menus, daily specials, and catering information on flyer stock. Real estate agents rely on property flyers for open houses and listings.
Event organizers print flyers for concerts, festivals, fundraisers, and community gatherings. Educational institutions use flyers for course offerings, campus events, and administrative announcements. Non-profit organizations print flyers for awareness campaigns, volunteer recruitment, and donation drives.

Quality Control Process
Every flyer order goes through multiple quality checkpoints. Our prepress team reviews files for resolution, color mode, bleed, and font embedding. We send digital proofs showing exact layout, colors, and text. Production samples are pulled during printing runs to verify color consistency and registration.
Final inspection checks trimming accuracy, finish quality, and overall appearance before packing. We maintain tight tolerances on color matching and registration. Any issues identified during production are corrected before completing the run.
Sustainable Options
Teal Packaging offers recycled paper stocks for environmentally conscious brands. Our 30% post-consumer waste (PCW) paper provides a balance of sustainability and cost. 100% PCW paper delivers maximum environmental benefit. Both options print with the same quality as virgin fiber stocks.
We use soy-based and vegetable-based inks that reduce environmental impact compared to petroleum-based inks. These inks provide excellent color and durability while being easier to recycle. Our water-based coatings are another eco-friendly alternative to traditional finishes.
File Preparation Guidelines
For best results, supply print-ready PDFs with the following specifications: 300 dpi resolution for all images, CMYK color mode (not RGB), 0.125 inch bleed on all sides, crop marks indicating final trim size, and all fonts embedded or converted to outlines. Keep important text and graphics at least 0.25 inches from the trim edge to prevent cutting into content.
Large areas of solid color should include slight overprint or trapping to prevent white gaps if registration shifts slightly. Convert spot colors to CMYK unless you are specifically requesting Pantone matching. Save PDFs with high-quality settings and include all linked images.
Related Products
Consider pairing flyers with complementary marketing materials. Custom business cards reinforce your brand when distributed together. Folded cards provide more space for detailed information. Branded shopping bags extend your message when customers carry purchases.
For longer-format content, brochures and booklets offer more pages. Posters work well for wall display in retail or office environments. Door hangers ensure visibility in residential distribution. We can coordinate printing across multiple products for consistent branding.
