Flyers
Putting your message in the hands of interested customers is as easy as handing them a flyer! With well-designed flyers, you can share anything with your target audience: advertise seasonal sales, generate buzz for upcoming events, or announce a grand opening. Whatever you have to say, custom flyers will help make that message stick.
Because flyers are so portable and affordable, you can incorporate them into virtually any marketing strategy—from passive display to active promotion. You can post flyers around your store, hand them to pedestrians, distribute them in local neighborhoods, or fold them into direct mailings. You could even link up with other local businesses by asking them to set out your flyers at the cash register.
Even in a world of digital-centric marketing, print flyers are versatile, memorable, and cost-effective. And with MyCreativeShop, they’re easy, too! Our online flyer maker gives you all the tools you need to design a beautiful flyer, right from your own computer.
Just click on one of our engaging flyer templates, customize it to perfection, and print or share your flyers anywhere. No graphic design or marketing know-how required.
4,000+ Customizable Flyer Templates
Flyers can be very effective, but the right design will depend entirely on you: your company’s branding, your target audience, your specific message or offer, and your planned means of distribution. Even for the same industry and the same type of event, no two flyers should be exactly alike.
That’s why we offer so many different templates for flyers—more than 4,000, to be exact! Whether you need a marketing flyer template for a real estate open house or a printable event program template for wedding party festivities, you can find an awesome and relevant design in our vast library.
To quickly sort through all our flyer design templates, filter by size or industry or enter your own search term. Then click on any template and make the changes you like:
- Text: Draw attention with a bold headline that’s easy to read from a distance. Add new text boxes if you have a lot of content to share, and experiment with new fonts until you’ve struck the perfect mood.
- Images: Upload photos of your own happy customers or insert one from our library of free, high-resolution stock photos.
- Branding: Add your logo or other corporate brand assets and use our color tool to choose your organization’s exact color palette.
- Colors: You can easily change up the color and transparency of any element! Stick with solid colors or apply a subtle background pattern for extra visual interest.
- Layout: All of our business flyer templates can be edited into either portrait or landscape orientation, so feel free to play around until you find the most impactful design.
If you’re feeling really creative, you can start with a blank or generic template flyer, too. Blank flyer templates are completely empty, while generic templates have simple black-and-white placeholders for you to fill in.
We Have A Flyer Size For Everyone
We have popular sizes for your promotional flyer template:
- 8" x 11" Flyer: The size of standard U.S. printer paper, this format can fit loads of information. It works well for handing out, posting on walls, placing in welcome packets/folders, and more.
- 8.5" x 5.5" Flyer: At half the size of standard printer paper, this format is more portable but still offers plenty of room for content and images.
- 4" x 9" Flyer: The size of a standard envelope, this type of flyer is the easiest to carry and great for handing out to passersby. It’s also known as a rack card.
- A4 Flyers, A5 Flyers and DL Flyers: Popular sizes outside of the United States
All template sizes are customizable on both the front and the back sides and are available in inches or millimeters depending on what your design needs are..
High-Quality Flyer Printing with a Guaranteed Delivery Date
Once you’re done editing your design, you can quickly print your flyer with us — no need to worry about formatting or configuring your file.
We offer affordable print runs ranging from 50 to 50,000 flyers, with two paper options:
- Standard: This paper is flexible, easy to fold, and can be written on with a ballpoint pen.
- Premium: This paper is firmer, glossier, and not recommended for folding or writing.
Both kinds of paper are high-quality, so the choice just depends on how you plan to use your flyers. For instance, if your flyers will be given out in a company meeting or sales pitch, then the pen-friendly option may be more useful so that people can take notes.
You Can Print Flyers Anywhere or Share Them Online
If you prefer to print your event program template somewhere else, we make that easy as well! You can download a PDF (including options for full bleed) and have your flyers printed at any local printer or online printing service of your choice.

Tips to get you started on designing, printing & promoting your Flyers
-
When beginning any design project, your first step should always be to consider your audience, then make a plan and gather everything you’ll need to execute it. Key elements of your flyer design include high-quality images, original content, and a solid understanding of your company’s branding strategy and marketing goals. Once you’ve got those in hand, decide which flyer size (standard, rack card, or half sheet) fits you best and spend a few minutes perusing MyCreativeShop’s catalog of customizable flyer templates until you find the one that matches your ideal layout and style. To learn more about flyer size selection, check out our Ultimate Flyer Size Guide for Design & Print.
After you open your chosen template in our online editor, you can easily upload your photos and insert them into your design (or swap them in for the template’s stock photos using our “change image” feature). Applying your company’s signature color scheme is a breeze with our “replace this color” feature which swaps out every existing occurrence of a color in the document with any color you select. Insert your original content by copy/pasting or simply typing it into a new or existing textbox. Upload and insert your logo, find your signature font, and insert shapes, patterns, icons, and more until you’re satisfied with the finished product. Proofread for any glaring errors or typos, then have one or two others give it a onceover to ensure it conveys your message clearly and effectively. Once they’ve weighed in, you’re ready to print!

A flyer with tear off tabs can be a simple way to share your business and its contact information with your community. When designing your flyer, use the text box tool in our online editor to insert your company’s name, phone number, and website or physical address. Then, use the rotate function to turn the text box 90° from horizontal to vertical. Use copy/paste to create multiple text boxes across the bottom of your flyer, making sure to leave sufficient space between boxes. One great way to ensure you have consistent spacing is to enable our grid view.
Lastly, it’s also important to remember that there’s no need to put a design on the back of your flyer, since hanging them on a wall or other vertical surface is the best way to create access for those looking to snag a tab.

At MyCreativeShop, we customizable flyer templates in three sizes: Standard, Rack Cards, and Half Sheets. A Standard flyer measures 8.5” x 11” and is the largest of the three options. Rack Cards measure 4” x 9” and work well on a counter, in wall displays or anywhere with limited space and high foot traffic. Half Sheets are 5.5” x 8.5” and are exactly what their name suggests - a half sheet of standard paper. The size you choose will depend on the information you need to include in your design and in the way you plan to display/distribute your finished flyer.
We also offer flyers in millimeter sizing (A4, A5 and DL).For more information on how to choose the right flyer size for your needs, check out our Ultimate Flyer Size Guide for Design & Print.

A rack card is a flyer that measures 4” x 9.” The term “rack card” refers to their ease of display in a wall rack. Rack cards are small enough to be easily carried and distributed, but their smaller size also requires wise design choices so that your message can be clearly read and understood. MyCreativeShop offers a variety of customizable rack card flyer templates for you to choose from. Just set the size filter to 4" x 9".

Before beginning any design process, it is imperative to settle on a clear purpose for your finished document. When designing a flyer, there should be a well-defined Call to Action that motivates the reader to DO something specific, such as attend an upcoming sale, place an order, or schedule a free consultation. Using bold fonts, call-out boxes, and bright colors can help to make your message stand out. Including eye-catching images and original content can drive your point home. Call-out boxes are an ideal location to share key dates and times, along with your contact information. Your logo and signature color scheme are also essential inclusions as you work to increase brand recognition. Make sure that every element in your design has a purpose and aligns with your branding strategy.
If you start from one of our pre-built templates, you'll find a lot of the hard work is already done. Simply utilize the tools in our online editor to swap out placeholder images and text, swap out the template’s existing color scheme for your company’s signature color palette or CMYK color codes, and upload your own images and logo. As always, finish by proofreading yourself and having a friend or two give it a onceover.

When selecting the best font size for any document, the main factor to consider is the distance at which it will be viewed by the reader. The farther away the viewer is, the larger the font must be in order to be clearly read and understood. Additionally, larger fonts can be used to draw attention to important details like headings and sale or discount information in call-out boxes. To make the font size selection as uncomplicated as possible, MyCreativeShop’s online editor offers recommended font sizes by text type (headings, subheadings, paragraphs, and more), and those sizings automatically change with the document type. Because a flyer is most often read at arm's-length, the minimum font size we recommend using is 10pt - small enough to make room for other important details while still large enough to read clearly.

A good flyer design is one that’s effective. In order to be successful, there are three key targets your flyer needs to hit. First, it should be attention-grabbing. If your flyer doesn’t get people to stop and look, there’s no point. Next, your flyer must tell people something they don’t already know. An effective flyer shares just enough information to pique the interest of the reader and motivate them to act. Finally, a truly effective flyer is honest, authentic, and persuasive. Once you’ve gotten the reader’s attention and shared your message, nothing will happen unless you’ve been convincing. Pull them in, tell them your story, and persuade them to do something about it - a recipe for good flyer design!
-
While both a flyer and a brochure can contain similar information, a flyer is a single sheet of paper with no folds, while a brochure is a single sheet of paper folded one or more times to create separate panels of content.
-
To be effective, the word count of a flyer should be limited to anywhere from 50-100 words. If more words are needed to get your message across, a brochure should be considered instead.
-
Before hanging up any flyer, always make sure that you have permission to post your material. Make a list of local businesses, organizations, and more that your target audience would frequent. Popular flyer display locations include grocery store bulletin boards, neighborhood park information kiosks, schools, and local government offices. Fitness centers, clinics, churches, and apartment complexes are also possible options. If your flyer will appeal to the local college crowd, consider getting permission from the university housing office to post your flyer in dormitory common areas and dining halls. Your local shopping mall may also have a designated space for flyers and notices, so explore all your available options before you paper the town with your design!
-
A flyer and a leaflet can have similar content, but a flyer is single flat sheet of paper with no folds and a low word count, while a leaflet (much like a brochure) contains more details than a flyer and is almost always folded.
-
A good promotional flyer will make the reader stop and look. How, you ask? The best flyers capture their audiences attention with brilliant images, bright colors, or powerful words (or some combination of the three). To create your own, begin with a plan for success. Gather the image(s), logo, and original content necessary to complete your vision, then browse our catalog of promotional flyer templates. Once you’ve found the one that fits with your company’s personality and branding strategy, begin by applying your signature color scheme to the template. Next, swap in your own logo and high-quality images for the stock template graphics and exchange all placeholder text for your own original content. Take the time to ensure that your title is effective and draws the reader in, both with the actual words and your font choice. Change up the overall font style, color, size, and more to fit your design, making sure your contact info is easily visible. Consider including a QR code that links directly to your website so that you can save precious flyer space, avoid clutter, and maximize your conversion rates. Proofread the finished product before you place a print order with us or send it to your own printer.
