Print Flyers in Singapore: Sizes, Paper, Artwork and Turnaround Explained
To print flyers efficiently, confirm six things first: finished size, paper, one or two sides, quantity, artwork readiness and required date. A5 on 105gsm or 128gsm gloss art paper is a common promotional combination, while 80gsm woodfree is practical for cost-sensitive mass distribution.

What should you decide before you print flyers?
Flyer pricing and turnaround are determined by the actual specification. Two jobs with the same quantity can cost very differently if the paper, size, sides or production deadline are different.
You can compare this with our printing services in Singapore and use the artwork guide before submitting files.
Before requesting a quotation, decide the finished size, paper preference, quantity and whether the flyer is single- or double-sided. If you are unsure about paper, explain how the flyers will be used and ask for a practical recommendation.
Common flyer sizes in Singapore
A6 is compact and works well for short promotions, vouchers and handouts. A5 is a versatile choice for general marketing and distribution. A4 provides much more content space for menus, schedules, information sheets and detailed offers. DL is a slim format suited to menus, vouchers and inserts.
The design should be created at the chosen final size rather than resized at the end of the artwork process.
80gsm, 105gsm, 128gsm or 157gsm?
80gsm woodfree is light and economical, which makes it suitable for high-volume distribution. 105gsm gloss art paper gives a smoother promotional finish without becoming too heavy. 128gsm gloss feels more substantial, while 157gsm provides a thicker premium feel for smaller campaigns or higher-value handouts.
There is no single best paper. The right choice depends on how the flyer will be used, the campaign budget and the impression you want to create.
Should you print flyers on one side or two?
Use one side when the message is short and direct. Use two sides when you need additional services, a menu, a map, testimonials, terms, a QR code or other information that would make the front too crowded.
A second side is most useful when it adds value. Avoid filling it simply because double-sided printing is available.
How quantity affects the printing decision
Small quantities are useful for testing a promotion, short events or targeted campaigns. Larger quantities generally make more sense for distribution, recurring promotions and broader marketing coverage.
Before ordering a bulk quantity, confirm the target audience and distribution plan. Printing far more than you can use is not a saving, even when the unit price is lower.
Artwork requirements for flyer printing
Supply a print-ready PDF at the correct finished size with bleed for any design that runs to the edge. Keep logos, text, QR codes and phone numbers inside the safe area. Use high-resolution images and check that small text is still readable at actual size.
Convert the final artwork to a production-ready format rather than sending screenshots or low-resolution previews as the print file.
Same-day, next-day and standard printing
Urgent turnaround depends on the specification, quantity, paper stock, artwork readiness and available production capacity. Same-day and next-day options are best treated as express services that must be confirmed for the exact job.
Standard production gives more flexibility and is usually preferable when the campaign date allows enough time.
How to request a quotation
Send the finished size, paper type, printing sides, quantity, required date and delivery location. Attach the artwork if it is already prepared. If the flyer will also be distributed, include the target area or campaign requirement so printing and distribution can be planned together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common size to print flyers?
A5 is a common all-round choice because it provides useful design space while remaining convenient for handouts and distribution. A6, A4 and DL are also widely used depending on the campaign.
What paper can I use to print flyers?
Common choices include 80gsm woodfree and 105gsm, 128gsm or 157gsm gloss art paper. Heavier art card can be used for premium promotional pieces.
Is double-sided flyer printing worth it?
Double-sided printing is useful when the second side adds meaningful information such as services, a map, a price list, a QR code or campaign details. For a very simple message, single-sided printing may be sufficient.
