Direct Mail Flyers

These flyers are built to travel. They print on stock that mails well, they fold to fit standard envelopes, and the bigger your list, the cheaper each piece gets. Want to see how direct mail sits next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on flyers printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger mailing. A run of 500 starts at $238.73, about 48 cents a flyer, and the per-flyer cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 25,000, so a full neighborhood drop costs far less per piece than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Direct Mail Flyers?

Direct mail flyers are full-color flyers printed in 4 sizes, from an 8.5" x 11" letter sheet up to an 11" x 17" tabloid, on any of 4 paper stocks, built to be mailed to a list of recipients. Businesses reach for them when they want to land in the mailbox instead of the trash bin at an event: coupon drops, restaurant menus, grand-opening announcements, real estate listings, and seasonal promotions across a whole zip code. Orders start at 500 flyers, the point where a mailing campaign starts to pay off. If you want flyers to hand out in person instead, the Standard Flyers cover that, and direct mail flyers sit right beside them as the version made for the post.

What Size Should a Direct Mail Flyer Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say and how it has to mail. The default 8.5" x 11" is the classic letter-size flyer, easy to fold in half or in thirds for an envelope. An 8.5" x 14" gives you a legal-size layout with more room, a 9" x 12" reads as a roomier sheet, and the full 11" x 17" is a tabloid piece that folds down to a standard mailer. All 4 sizes, both ink options and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a piece that mails at a lower rate, the smaller Mailing Flyers are another direct-mail pick.

Here are a few easy ways to make a direct mail flyer pull its weight.

Pick a stock that mails well

A brighter 100# Gloss Text makes a coupon or a menu pop, the 100# Silk/Matte Text reads smooth with less glare and takes a handwritten note, and the 70# Uncoated Text keeps mailing weight down while staying easy to write on. Want something sturdier that feels like a postcard in the hand? The heavier 100# Gloss Cover is the pick. Print 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 to use the back for a map, a coupon, or your return details.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a direct mail 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. Lead with one clear offer and a single call to action, since a mailed flyer gets a few seconds of attention at the mailbox.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank direct mail 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 below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Direct Mail Flyers Cost?

Direct mail flyers start at $238.73 for 500, about 48 cents a flyer, and the per-flyer price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, where a run works out to roughly 7 cents each. A 4,000-flyer mailing runs $472.41, or about 12 cents a piece. There are 20 quantity tiers in all, so a cheap flyer really comes down to how big your list is. 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.

Can You Fold Direct Mail Flyers?

Yes, and folding is what makes these flyers mail-ready. You can leave the flyer flat or choose from 9 folding styles. A Half Fold turns an 8.5" x 11" into a simple two-panel piece, a Trifold gives you six panels for a menu or a step-by-step offer, and a Z-Fold accordions out for a reveal, with 6 more fold styles beyond those. Folding a larger sheet like the 11" x 17" brings it down to an envelope-friendly size or lets it self-mail without an envelope at all. Pick the fold that matches how your offer reads, and the price updates with your choice. For a flyer that ships pre-folded across styles, the Folded Flyers are the dedicated option.

How Do Direct Mail Flyers Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Direct mail flyers are the pick when your goal is the mailbox, but they are not your only move.
