Color vs. Black & White - Which to Choose?

Full Color

Maximum Visual Impact

Full-color CMYK printing produces vibrant imagery, bold brand colors, and eye-catching designs that stop people in their tracks. The best choice for event promotion, restaurants, retail, and any campaign where grabbing attention is the priority.

Black & White

High Volume at Lower Cost

Black and white printing delivers a significant cost saving per piece - ideal when you need to print thousands of flyers for mass distribution, community outreach, or informational handouts where visual impact matters less than reach.

Our Advice

When in Doubt, Choose Color

Studies consistently show color materials are picked up, read, and retained at a significantly higher rate than black and white. For most marketing campaigns, the incremental cost of color is returned many times over in response rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flyer size should I choose?

The 8.5" x 11" full sheet is the most recognized and widely used flyer size - ideal for storefronts, bulletin boards, and general advertising. The 5.5" x 8.5" half-sheet is the most popular for high-volume handout campaigns - smaller, easier to pocket, and you get two per full sheet. The 8.5" x 14" legal size suits content-heavy layouts like menus and price lists. The 11" x 17" tabloid makes a bold statement for window displays and high-traffic events.

Should I choose color or black and white printing?

Full-color flyers are picked up, read, and retained at a significantly higher rate than black and white - for most marketing campaigns the incremental cost of color pays for itself in response rates. Choose black and white when you need to print thousands of flyers for mass distribution or informational handouts where cost per piece is the primary concern and visual impact matters less than reach.

Can I print on both sides of the flyer?

Yes. All sizes are available with single-sided (front only) or double-sided printing. Using both sides effectively doubles your content space - use the front for the main visual and headline, and the back for supporting information, a QR code, a coupon, event schedule, or contact details.

How do I set up my flyer file for print?

Submit a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode (or Grayscale for black and white). Add 0.125" bleed on all four sides beyond your finished size and keep all text and logos at least 0.125" from the trim edge. For example, an 8.5" x 11" flyer file with bleed should be 8.75" x 11.25". Outline all fonts before saving to prevent font substitution on press.
