See Mailing Flyers in action
Thick cover mailers in gloss, matte/silk, uncoated or High Gloss UV with a coated back, printed in color on the front and blank, black or color behind.
Mailer flyers at 4OVER4 cost $89.68 for 500, about 18 cents a flyer, and 2,000 cost $186.95, so for anyone asking how much do flyers cost for a mailing, the quantity decides most of the answer. The size from 4" x 6" to 6" x 11", the 14pt or 16pt cover stock and a printed back change the rest, and at 100,000 each flyer costs under 3 cents.
- From $89.68 per 500, about 18 cents a flyer, with the per-flyer price dropping as the run climbs to 100,000.
- 9 sizes, from a 4" x 6" postcard flyer up to a 6" x 11" jumbo, every one a standard mail dimension.

- 4 business day standard turnaround with a 2-day rush, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
Print a Flyer Built for the Mailbox
Sized for the mail rather than an 8.5 by 11 sheet you fold into an envelope, a mailing flyer prints at a compact postcard or mailer size that drops straight into the mail stream and lands face up in a hand. A run of 500 starts at $89.68, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews. Mail a coupon to a zip code, announce a grand opening or send a just-listed card, and the flyer arrives with the day's mail.
They fit standard mail equipment, they qualify for postcard and mailer rates, and the cover stock holds up on the trip, so the card arrives flat instead of creased like a folded sheet. To compare mailing flyers with the rest of the range, browse every style on flyers printing, or build yours from the choices below.
A test drop of 500 to one carrier route and a mailing to every address in a zip code sit on the same 31 tiers, and the zip code mailing costs far less per flyer. Each tier below shows the live total and what the step up saves.
What Are Mailing Flyers
Mailing flyers are flyers printed full color in 9 sizes, from a 4" x 6" postcard flyer up to a 6" x 11" jumbo, on any of 7 cover stocks. Businesses mail them when a folded sheet would be clumsy in the mail: coupon mailers, menu drops, event and grand-opening announcements, real estate just-listed cards, and promo inserts. Because the size and stock match standard mail, the flyer is easy to address, bundle, and send. If you want the mailing handled for you, with addressing and postage included, the Direct Mail Flyers cover that full service, and the mailing flyer sits beside it as the mail-ready print you send yourself.
What Size Should a Mailing Flyer Be
Pick the size by the message and the postage you want to pay. The default 4" x 6" is the classic postcard mailer and the cheapest to send. A 4.25" x 5.5" or 3.5" x 8.5" gives a taller card more room, a 4" x 9" reads like a rack panel, and a 6" x 11" jumbo sits on top of the letters in the box. The specs panel below lists all 9 sizes and the full stock list. For a standard hand-out flyer instead of a mailer, the Standard Flyers run larger sheet sizes, and the Folded Flyers add panels for more copy.
Stock and the back side decide how a mailing flyer arrives and what it asks for.
Pick a stock that survives the mail
A 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it bright and cheap, and 16pt gives the card more body so it resists bending as it travels. The matte and silk stocks read soft and take a pen, the high gloss UV front makes a photo or a headline snap, and the 14pt uncoated cover lets you write a note or add a stamp by hand. Choose the weight and finish that matches how the flyer gets handled once it lands.
Use both sides
You do not have to leave the back blank. Print 4/0 for a full color front and a clean blank back, 4/1 to add black text on the back for an address, terms or a map, or 4/4 for full color on both sides when the offer deserves the whole card. A printed back is where the coupon code, the hours, or the call to action usually lives.
If you already have artwork, download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank 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 Mailing Flyers Cost
Mailing flyers start at $89.68 per 500, about 18 cents a flyer, and the per-flyer price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, where each flyer costs under 3 cents. A 6,000 run is $273.85 and a 15,000 run is $548.70, so the size of the drop sets the cost per flyer. Count the addresses on your list or the households on your carrier routes, set that number on the slider below, and read the total and the per-flyer cost.
These are the tiers on the default 4" x 6" size, with the options that move the price beside them:
- 500 flyers: $89.68, about 18 cents each.
- 1,000 flyers: $170.53, and 2,000 cost $186.95, only $16.42 more.
- 5,000 flyers: $241.51, under 5 cents each.
- 10,000 flyers: $403.20, about 4 cents each.
- 100,000 flyers: $2,593.97, under 3 cents each.
- What changes the total: a larger size up to 6" x 11", the 16pt or high gloss UV stock, 4/1 or 4/4 ink on the back, and the 2 business day rush.
- What you upload: finished art on the blank template with the 1/8" bleed, or a layout from the design templates.
Wally builds a flyer the mailbox cannot ignore
Why a stack of 500 postcard flyers lands face up, not tossed.
500 mailing flyers cost $89.68, about 18 cents each, and every size is built to fit standard mail. Print full color on 14pt or 16pt cover, add a blank or printed back, and Wally can band them into stacks ready to send. Pick a size, set your speed, and get them in 4 business days or as fast as 2.
Can You Print the Back of a Mailing Flyer
Yes. Every mailing flyer prints full color on the front, and you decide what happens on the back. Leave it blank with 4/0 ink, add black text with 4/1 for an address block, terms or directions, or run full color on both sides with 4/4 when the back carries its own offer. Pair a printed back with the 16pt stock and a high gloss UV front, and a 4 by 6 inch card carries an offer on one side and the coupon code, the map or the expiry date on the other.

How Fast Can You Get Mailing Flyers
Mailing flyers print on a 4 business day standard turnaround, and when a mail date sneaks up you can move that to a 2 business day rush. The rush buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints you can send your file straight to production, approve a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to check color in your hand. 99.8% of our orders ship on time and 82% ship early, so the mail date is not a gamble. Compare both turnaround tiers below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

If a standard hand-out flyer, a folded piece or a heavier stock would serve you better, the rest of the flyer family shows each option with its own starting price and a link to its product page.

Mailing Flyers: Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do mailing flyers come in?
Nine sizes are offered, from a 4" x 6" postcard flyer up to a 6" x 11" jumbo, all of them standard mail dimensions. Smaller sizes suit a coupon or a just-listed card, while the jumbo gives room for a full offer and photos. Confirm the postage class and rate for the size you pick with your mail provider before you print the full run.
How many mailing flyers do I have to order?
The minimum run is 500, starting at $89.68, which is about 18 cents a flyer. Pricing keeps stepping down as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a full zip code drop costs far less per piece than the minimum. They are rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
Which stock should I choose for a piece that goes through the mail?
Seven cover stocks are available: 14pt and 16pt in gloss, matte or silk, and high gloss UV on the front, plus a 14pt uncoated cover. Cover weight is what keeps the piece from arriving creased after handling. The uncoated option is the one to pick if anything gets written on or a label is applied.
Can I leave space for an address and a stamp?
Yes. You can print full color on the front with a blank or black back, or full color on both sides, using 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4. A blank or single-color back gives you a clean area for the address block and indicia. The uncoated stock also takes a pen and a printed label better than a coated surface.
Can the flyers arrive bundled in set counts?
Bundling is available, along with a choice of how many pieces go in each stack. That helps if a run is being split between mail routes, retail locations, or a team handing them out. Both options are in the configurator with paper and ink.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 4 business days, with a 2 business day rush available. That covers printing, so build in transit time to you and then mailing time on top. A proof option is available if you want to check the layout before it prints.
