Flat Flyers and Brochures are single-sheet, unfolded marketing materials printed on premium coated stock with your choice of gloss or matte coating - delivering a noticeably higher-quality look and feel than standard uncoated flyers. The coated surface enhances color saturation, sharpens image detail, and gives the piece a polished, professional finish that communicates quality from the moment someone picks it up.
This product sits between a standard flyer and a full brochure - it has the simplicity and flat format of a flyer with the premium paper and finish quality of a brochure. Ideal for restaurant menus, real estate one-pagers, product sheets, event programs, salon and spa menus, and any marketing material where a premium presentation matters. Available in multiple sizes with full-color printing on both sides and your choice of gloss AQ or matte coating.

High-shine aqueous coating applied inline after printing. Colors appear vibrant and saturated, images are crisp and detailed, and the surface resists smudging and fingerprints. The standard choice for restaurant menus, event flyers, real estate sheets, and any design with strong photography or bold colors.
Smooth, non-reflective finish that reads elegantly under all lighting conditions. Colors are rich without the glare of gloss. Preferred for law firms, financial services, healthcare, and any brand positioning at the premium or luxury end of their market.
Standard uncoated flyer paper absorbs ink, slightly dulling colors and softening image edges. Coated stock resists ink absorption, producing noticeably sharper text, deeper colors, and a more professional appearance that immediately signals higher quality.

The key difference is paper stock and coating. Standard flyers are printed on 60lb or 80lb uncoated text stock - lightweight and cost-effective for high-volume distribution. Flat Flyers and Brochures are printed on 100lb coated text stock with gloss AQ or matte coating - producing noticeably richer colors, sharper images, and a more polished, professional feel that makes a stronger impression when placed in front of clients or customers.
Gloss AQ coating gives your flyer a bright, reflective shine that makes colors pop and images appear vivid. It is the most popular choice for restaurant menus, event flyers, real estate sheets, and any design with strong photography or bold colors. Matte coating has a smooth, non-reflective surface that reads elegantly in all lighting - preferred by professional services, healthcare, legal, and brands that position themselves at the premium end of their market.
Yes - and this is one of the most popular uses for this product. The 8.5" x 11" size on 100lb gloss text with gloss AQ coating is the standard format for restaurant table menus, daily specials inserts, and takeout sheets. The coated surface is wipeable, holds ink well, and presents food photography beautifully compared to standard uncoated flyer stock.
Submit a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Add 0.125" bleed on all four sides and keep all text and logos at least 0.125" from the trim edge. For an 8.5" x 11" flat flyer your file with bleed should be 8.75" x 11.25". For 11" x 17" use 11.25" x 17.25". Outline all fonts before saving. Because coated stock reproduces color more accurately than uncoated, make sure your artwork is in CMYK - RGB files may shift in color during conversion.
