Flyers and Folded Leaflets
020 3375 6674 info@silverimagelondon.com Open 24 hours, 7 days a week — call or email and we will tell you what is possible today.
Flyers and folded leaflets from DL to A3 on gloss or silk paper with bi-fold and tri-fold options, produced same-day at our 24/7 London facility. Same-day and overnight courier delivery is available across London, with frequent deliveries to the City, West End, Canary Wharf and Central London. Club and venue drops run north as well — print finished by early evening is flyering King’s Cross and Angel the same night.
Venues and promoters around Camden Town order programmes and flyers on the same overnight run as the posters, so one delivery covers the door and the street.
Every job is quoted on its specification. Send us yours and we will come back with a firm figure.

Artwork specifications
Bleed, safe margins, colour, resolution, file format
Run a quick preflight on your flyer artwork to confirm it will print sharp from A6 to A3.
| Requirement | What we need | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bleed | 3 mm on every edge | With crop marks offset by 3 mm. Anything running off the page has to extend past the trim, or a white hairline appears along the cut edge. |
| Safe margin | Text 5 mm clear of the trim | Trimming moves by a fraction of a millimetre across a run. Type sitting on the trim line will look uneven from copy to copy. |
| Colour mode | CMYK, not RGB | Bright RGB blues and greens sit outside the CMYK gamut and print duller than they look on screen. Send Pantone references for brand colours. |
| Resolution at final size | 300 dpi at the finished size | Measured on the printed piece, not in the file. A 72 dpi web image scaled up stays 72 dpi. |
| File format | PDF preferred — but send what you have | We accept virtually any artwork format and check every file in-house before production. If anything needs adjusting we will tell you immediately, before we print. |
| Fonts | Outlined, or fully embedded | Outlined is safer on urgent work: there is no substitution risk at 3am when nobody is at a desk to answer. |
| Images | Embedded in the PDF | PDF/X-4 embeds everything by default. Linked images that did not travel with the file are a common cause of a job stalling. |
| Transparency | Supported — no need to flatten | PDF/X-4 carries live transparency. Flattening by hand often causes the white boxes and colour shifts it was meant to avoid. |
| Folded work | Mark the fold positions | On a tri-fold the inner panel is trimmed narrower so the leaflet closes square. Tell us the fold and we set the panel widths. |
Before you upload
- Export as PDF/X-4
- Convert fonts to outlines
- Extend backgrounds into the bleed
- Keep important content inside the safe margin
- Supply images at 300 dpi at the finished size
- Check the page size matches the finished trim size
Send the file even where there is doubt about it. We check bleed, resolution, embedded fonts and page size before anything goes on press, and where a fix is small it is usually just done. A two-minute reply at 9pm is faster than a re-export at 7am.
What turns a same-day job into a next-day one is almost never the printing. It is a question that has to go back to you and sit unanswered — artwork built at the wrong finished size, a logo supplied at screen resolution, or type running off the trim with no bleed behind it. Getting the six points above right removes nearly every one of those.
Choosing the stock: 130gsm, 170gsm or 300gsm
When you need high-volume marketing materials fast, our Digital Flyer Printing service is unbeatable. We operate a fleet of high-speed digital presses capable of producing thousands of A5 or A6 flyers per hour. This is essential for street promotions, club events, and trade shows in Central London.
Choose from 130gsm Gloss (ideal for mass distribution), 170gsm Silk (premium leaflets), or 300gsm Card (high-end handouts). Unlike offset printing which takes days, our digital process allows for same-day production. We can accept files until late evening and deliver your flyers to your hotel or venue the next morning.
Q&A
150gsm Silk or Gloss is our standard "Same Day" stock. It dries instantly and looks professional. Heavier 350gsm cards take slightly longer to cut.
Yes. Our print facility operates 24/7. We can handle high-volume digital runs overnight for urgent morning deadlines.
Yes. If you don't have artwork, our in-house designers can create a professional flyer layout for you quickly.
Ideally, yes (3mm bleed). But if you don't have it, our software can often add a white border or mirror the edges to fix it for you.
