Expert Flyer and Leaflet Printing Services in the UK: All Specifications, Sizes, and Finishes from Mail Boxes Etc. Chichester

Mail Boxes Etc. provides high-quality, professional printing services tailored to meet the exacting standards of UK businesses. Whether you require cost-effective, high-volume handouts or sophisticated, custom-finished collateral, our comprehensive service ensures your marketing materials are sharp, professional, and impactful. We specialise in supporting your business from initial design concept through to final delivery or urgent collection.

Find the Perfect Match: GSM, Paper Types, and UK Standard Sizes

The first step in any print project is selecting the right foundation. The paper’s weight, measured in Grams per Square Metre (GSM), fundamentally dictates its feel, durability, and commercial suitability. We guide you through the options, ensuring the finished product perfectly aligns with your campaign goals.

Selecting the Right Paper Weight (GSM) for Your Campaign

For general distribution and cost-efficient mass mailouts, the standard range of 130gsm to 170gsm offers the ideal balance of strength and flexibility. However, for high-end applications where durability and retention are key, we highly recommend our premium card stock options. Printing on400gsm silk flyersprovides a rigid, high-quality, postcard-like feel that conveys lasting professionalism and is far less likely to be discarded. For ultra-lightweight, budget-sensitive print runs (60gsm-90gsm), our technical expertise ensures print quality, including careful management of ink density to minimise show-through on double-sided prints.

Standard UK Print Sizes: A-Series and DL Formats

We offer the complete range of standard UK print sizes, from the highly portable A7 up to large A3 poster formats. The most common sizes for flyers are A6, A5, and A4. Additionally, the DL (broadly 1/3rd A4) format is uniquely suited for professional inserts, vouchers, and direct mail campaigns, as its specific dimensions fit neatly into standard commercial envelopes.

Folded Leaflets: Maximising Content Space with Structural Design

When your message requires structured detail, such as menus, maps, or extensive product lists, our folded leaflet printing services transform a single sheet into a versatile, multi-panel marketing tool. Choosing the correct fold is vital for controlling information flow and user interaction.

Tri-Fold vs. Z-Fold: Choosing the Right Layout

The Tri-Fold (Roll Fold) remains the industry standard, neatly folding a sheet into three panels. This format is highly effective for presenting sequential information such as itineraries, product descriptions, or detailed pricing lists in a compact and pocket-friendly package. In contrast, the Z-Fold (Concertina Fold) unfolds in an accordion style, making it ideal for step-by-step instructions or maps, as it allows for the display of a wide visual area when fully open.

Custom Folding and High-Impact Gate Folds

For marketing materials designed to create maximum visual impact, the Gate Fold is an ideal choice. The two outer panels open outward to reveal a large central panel, making it the perfect structure for program launches, major announcements, or high-impact case studies. At MBE Chichester we manage a full suite of professional folding styles, including the Cross Fold, used for compact, high-detail informational guides.

Premium Finishes That Reflect Your Brand’s Quality

Differentiate your brand and ensure your printed materials command attention with our specialist finishing services. These professional touches add tactile appeal and dramatically increase the perceived value and durability of the finished product.

Spot UV Varnish: Making Your Logo Shine

Spot UV Varnish is a selective, high-gloss coating applied precisely to targeted areas of the design. This technique elevates critical elements, such as your company logo, key headlines, or images, making them stand out with a sophisticated, memorable sheen. This finish is essential for materials that aim to exude professionalism and exclusivity.

Luxury Foiling, Embossing, and Die-Cutting Options

For the luxury market, we offer metallic foiling in options including gold, silver, copper, and rose gold to add a refined shine to invitations and premium branding materials. We also provide embossing (raised design) and debossing (recessed design) for textural distinction, and precision die-cutting for bespoke, custom-shaped flyers and leaflets that guarantee your message is unique.
