Before ordering hundreds of leaflets, decide what you want readers to do: visit your premises, explore a service, book or use an offer. That choice helps you select a format and write a clear message. Printing more copies does not, by itself, bring in more customers.
Choose a format that fits the message
A flat flyer can be printed on one or both sides and works well for a short message. A bi-fold leaflet has four panels, while a tri-fold has six. Plan the reading order before placing the text. Fold a paper sample to check where each section will sit.
Do not choose a larger format simply to fill space. Prioritise a specific proposition, readable contact details and a clear next step. If you advertise a promotion, explain its dates and conditions in plain language.
A printing option to compare
Workcenter takes flyer orders online and lists formats including A5, A6 and DL, with single-sided and double-sided printing. Check the options for your specific order and compare other printers too. A listed format does not mean every paper, finish or turnaround is included.
Give each supplier the same quantity, finished size, printed sides, paper preference and finishing requirements. Ask for samples if you are unsure about paper and check whether the quotation includes artwork preparation, folding, delivery and taxes. Our guide to printers in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona offers further starting points.
Prepare and check the artwork
Follow the printer’s instructions for PDF settings, margins and bleed. Bleed extends artwork beyond the trimming line to prevent unwanted white edges; use the measurement requested by your supplier.
Print a proof at actual size. Check spelling, contrast, telephone numbers, address and offer conditions. Test any QR code with a phone and check the destination page. For folded work, make sure headings and important details remain easy to find.
Confirm when the order will be ready
Workcenter’s purchase conditions make turnaround dependent on the job and factors such as receiving suitable files and payment. A fast-service offer is not a universal promise of delivery within 24 hours. Distinguish production time, collection and shipping, particularly around holidays or before an event.
Plan distribution and measure responses
Agree where the material will be handed out and obtain permission where needed. Do not assume you can leave it on cars, in entrances or in public spaces. Start with a sensible quantity and review the response before ordering again.
A dedicated link, campaign code or question during booking can help identify responses. Track relevant enquiries or actions as well as the number of leaflets distributed: they measure different things.
What if I do not have a design?
Ask whether layout is included and how many revisions are allowed. Supply approved text, your logo and images you can use, then approve a final proof before printing.
