Silk Flyers

The silk lamination does two jobs at once. It gives the surface a velvety, low-glare feel, and it toughens the flyer against tears, moisture, and fingerprints, so it survives a rainy sidewalk table or a full day of open houses. Want to see how a silk flyer sits next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on flyers printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $74.53, and the per-flyer cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 25,000, so a full campaign drop costs far less per flyer than a quick test batch.

What Are Silk Flyers?

A silk flyer is a flyer printed on 16 point cardstock and sealed on both sides with a silk lamination, a soft-touch film that gives the card a smooth matte feel and added durability. At 4OVER4 silk flyers print full color on one or both sides, in 22 sizes from 2" x 3" to 9" x 12", with the size, ink coverage, proof, and turnaround all set in the live configurator.

People reach for silk flyers when an uncoated handout would curl, smudge, or look cheap: restaurant menus, real estate listings, event programs, price lists, and premium product inserts. Because the film seals the printed surface, the flyer shrugs off the wear that comes from being handled all day. If you want a lighter, everyday sheet instead, the Standard Flyers cover that, and the silk version sits right beside it as the one that feels premium in the hand.

What Size Should a Silk Flyer Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say. A 2" x 3" is a pocket handout, a coupon, or a ticket that fits in a wallet. The mid sizes give a classic quarter-page or half-page handout room for an offer and a QR code. A 9" x 12" reads almost like a full letter-size sheet, with space for a menu, a program, or a listing. All 22 sizes print on the same 16 point silk-laminated stock, and they are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If you need a folded format instead of a flat sheet, the Folded Flyers add half fold and trifold options.

You do not need a design background to make a silk flyer look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our flyer design templates, then change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor in minutes.

The silk laminated flyer template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order, drop your art in, and upload.

What Stock and Finish Are Silk Flyers Printed On?

Silk flyers print on one stock at 4OVER4: 16 point cardstock sealed on both sides with a silk lamination. The silk lamination is the finish, a soft-touch matte film that resists tears, water, and fingerprints while keeping colors rich. Ink prints 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4, full color on both sides.

There is one stock here, and it is a good one. The 16 point cardstock gives the flyer real body, thicker and stiffer than a typical printed sheet, and the silk lamination pressed over both sides is what sets it apart. It reads as a smooth, low-glare matte with a faint velvety touch, the kind of surface that makes a photo or a solid color look deliberate rather than cheap. You pick your ink coverage, 4/0 for a printed front and a blank back or 4/4 for full color on both sides, and you choose a straight-to-production run or a free online proof to check your file first. For a metallic sheen instead of a matte finish, the Foil Flyers are the premium alternative in the same family.

How Much Do Silk Flyers Cost?

Silk flyers start at $74.53 per set of 250, and the per-flyer price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheap silk flyer really comes down to how big a run you order. A 1,000 run is $112.41, and 5,000 run $276.63, which works out to about a nickel a flyer. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-flyer cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

What Do People Use Silk Flyers For?

Because a silk flyer is laminated and stiff, it goes where a flimsy handout would curl or tear. Restaurants use them as menus and specials cards that survive a busy service. Real estate agents hand them out as listing sheets that still look sharp after a day of open houses. Event organizers print programs and schedules, boutiques tuck them into orders as premium inserts, and salons and studios use them as price lists that live on a counter for weeks. Pair full color on both sides with the silk finish, and a single sheet does the work of something much more expensive.

How Do Silk Flyers Compare to Other Flyers?

Silk flyers are the pick when you want a flyer that feels premium and lasts, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing an everyday sheet, a folded format, or a metallic finish, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up silk flyers against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

The gallery below collects work our own customers printed in-house, across different sizes and layouts, so you can borrow ideas and see how a choice actually reads on paper.

How Fast Can You Get Silk Flyers?

Silk flyers print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, which keeps the price at its lowest, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to a 4 business day rush. The faster speed buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Either way you can send your file straight to production or request a free online proof and approve exactly how the flyer will print before the press runs.
