Flyer & Brochure Printing Perth · Tako Print

Flyers are still the cheapest way to put your business in someone's hands. We design and print them in South Perth for businesses all over Perth - letterbox drops, menus, event handouts, campaign runs - and most of the jobs that go wrong go wrong before the printing starts. Here's what's worth knowing first.

The most useful question about a flyer isn't the design, it's the distribution. Letterbox drops want DL - it's the size letterboxes and delivery hands suit, and it arrives flat. Handing out at events or counters, DL or A6 works: small enough that people take one, big enough to be worth keeping. Menus and counter pieces are better at A5 or A4 on a heavier stock, because they get picked up and put down all day.

One thing we see often enough to mention: an unfolded A4 doesn't fit through most letterbox slots, so whoever's delivering folds it - a rough crease through the middle of your design, different on every copy. If the campaign is letterboxes, either design for DL or use a properly folded format so the fold is part of the layout.

A flat flyer suits a single message - an offer, an event, an announcement. Once you're organising information into sections, folding helps: a half fold gives you a cover and an inside, and a trifold (the standard DL brochure or leaflet) gives you panels to structure a menu, price list or service rundown, and still fits a letterbox. A rough guide: if the piece has one thing to say, stay flat. If it has several, fold.

150gsm is the standard flyer stock. Step up to 300gsm for menus and counter pieces that need to survive handling - at that weight it's closer to a card. If you want the full picture on paper weights and what the numbers mean, it's in our paper and GSM guide; for flyers, the short version is to match the weight to how long the piece needs to last.

If you've got print-ready files, send them through - we check everything before press (sizing, bleed, colour setup, resolution), so if something's going to cause a problem you hear about it at proofing, not when you open the box. If you don't have artwork, our design team does flyer work every week, from one-off promos to letterbox campaigns across multiple suburbs. Either way you're dealing with the same small team here in South Perth.

Most standard flyer runs are ready in 2-4 business days from artwork approval - flyers are one of the quicker jobs through the shop. If you're up against an event date, call before assuming it can't be done - rush options exist for most products, and a conversation beats a missed weekend.

Most campaigns pair them with something: posters in the window while flyers do the letterboxes, a sign out the front while flyers sit on the counter. If the same message needs to show up in a few places at a few sizes, tell us once and we'll keep the design consistent across the lot.
