Professional Flyer Printing in Northern Ireland
Flyers remain one of the most cost-effective ways to get your message into people's hands. Whether you are running a door-drop campaign, handing out leaflets at an event, or filling a display rack in a local business, a well-printed flyer works in a way no screen can — it is tangible, it travels, and it stays.
At PCR Print, we produce flyers in a wide range of sizes and finishes from our Lisburn print works. Orders from just 10 copies, no hidden setup fees, and a free artwork check on every job so we catch any issues before your job goes to press.

Flyer printing buying guide
Choosing the right flyer size
The size you choose affects how your flyer is perceived and how much it costs to print and distribute. A4 (297 × 210mm) is the most common choice for information-rich content — menus, event listings, and service flyers — where you need space for detail. A5 (210 × 148mm) is the most popular overall: versatile, cost-effective, and easy to handle. DL (210 × 99mm) is the direct mail standard — it fits a standard envelope, slots neatly into racks, and feels premium in the hand. A6 (148 × 105mm) is the compact workhorse: ideal for vouchers, simple offers, and high-volume campaigns where per-unit cost matters most. Square formats (148mm and 210mm) create a distinctive first impression and stand out in a letterbox or a display.
Paper stocks and finishes
Paper stock is where a flyer stops feeling cheap and starts feeling premium. For most promotional uses, 130gsm gloss or silk is the standard — it is cost-effective, takes ink well, and photographs look sharp. Moving up to 170gsm gives the flyer noticeably more body; this is the weight we recommend for restaurant menus, hospitality marketing, and anything that will be handled repeatedly. For a truly substantial feel — thick as a calling card — 350gsm is available on selected formats. As for finish: gloss suits photographic imagery and bold colour backgrounds; silk (or satin) is less reflective and works better for text-heavy designs where glare would be a problem.
Single-sided versus double-sided
Going double-sided is almost always worth it. The printing cost increase is minimal — typically a few pence per unit — and you gain an entire second panel for a map, terms, contact details, a QR code, or an extended offer. The only reason to choose single-sided is if your design relies on a white reverse (for something like a scratch-off or note section) or if you are printing a simple event flyer where the message is brief. When in doubt, go double-sided: it communicates thoroughness and gives recipients more to engage with.
Designing your flyer for print
A few things separate flyers that come back looking exactly right from those with clipping, colour shifts, or blurring. Use CMYK colour mode — not RGB — because printing uses inks rather than light, and RGB colours will shift on press. Include 3mm bleed on all sides: extend background colours and images beyond the trim edge so slight cutting variations leave no white border. Keep important content — text, logos, key images — at least 3mm inside the trim line (the safe area). Resolution should be 300 DPI at the final print size; if you are scaling up artwork from a smaller file, the quality will suffer. Save your final file as a PDF — PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 with embedded fonts are the printing industry standards.
