A5 Flyers

A5 Flyers Printing UK – The Go-To Size for Local Advertising

A5 flyers are one of the most practical formats for UK businesses because they’re easy to hand out, simple to display, and cost-effective for bulk promotions. With enough space for a headline, offer, key details and a call-to-action, A5 leaflet printing works brilliantly for local campaigns, seasonal discounts and service promotions — whether you’re marketing in-store or across the UK and Ireland with nationwide delivery.

For a full brand set-up, many businesses pair A5 flyers with Business Cards so customers can take your details away after an event or appointment.

Best Uses for A5 Flyers (Where They Perform Well)

A5 is ideal for campaigns that need to be clear and quick to read. Common uses include:

• takeaway menus and limited-time offers

• salon price lists and treatment packages

• trades and local services (plumbing, cleaning, repairs)

• event promotions and community notices

If you need a more detailed layout (menus with lots of items or service breakdowns), Brochures and Folded Flyers such as Half Fold Brochure or Z Fold Brochure, can carry more information while staying neat and professional.

Make Your Campaign Stronger with Matching Print Products

A5 flyers work even better when supported by other printed materials:

Use Posters (A3/A2/A1) for windows and noticeboards to boost visibility “near me”

Add Stickers and Labels for packaging, loyalty offers and QR codes

Include Compliment Slips inside orders for a professional touch

Send offers in Envelopes for direct mail campaigns

For exhibitions, pair with Roll Up Banner or A Frame Banner for on-site branding

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print an A5 flyer from a Canva design?

Yes, but export it as a print PDF (not PNG/JPG). Ensure high quality settings and add bleed if your background goes to the edge.

What does “300 DPI” mean and why does it matter?

300 DPI means print resolution. If images are below 300 DPI, your flyer may look blurry or pixelated when printed.
