Formats, Sizes, and Finishes That Fit Your Brief
From handouts to takeaways, you can choose the mix that suits your campaign:
Sizes: A7, A6 leaflets, A5 and A4, plus DL. An A5 folded leaflet is ideal when you need more panels without going bigger.
Folded leaflets: Bi-fold and tri-fold options keep information organised and easy to scan in the hand.
Flyers & double-sided printing: Maximise space and balance photos with copy for a neater layout.
Leaflet holders and stands: We can supply clear holders and freestanding display stands for counters, receptions and events. Stands keep items tidy, on brand and within easy reach.
Special options: Seed paper printing for eco-conscious campaigns and foil printing for premium highlights on key offers or logos.
Choosing the right combination brings clarity and polish to your marketing materials. If you have an idea but want advice before you order, our studio will help you find the best route for your budget and timeline.
Types of Printing Paper, Weights, and Finishes Explained
Paper weight is measured in GSM, and it guides feel and durability. For standard leaflets intended for wide distribution, 120-170 gsm is recommended. For a more robust handout or when your products demand a premium feel, 200 to 300 GSM stands up better to handling and brings extra presence on desks and counters. For menus or mini brochures, heavier stocks can help pieces stand up on their own and look smart on stands.
Finish changes the look in the hand and on the eye:
– Silk gives a smooth surface that flatters colour and photos without glare.
– Gloss adds punch to images, making them useful for high-contrast photos and bold palettes.
– Uncoated feels natural and is easy to write on if appointments or forms are required.
We will provide practical tips on matching the finish to use. For example, uncoated is best for displaying opening times and pricing, while gloss is best for vibrant product photos.
Sustainable And Speciality Touches
If sustainability matters to your group or brand, seed paper printing and recycled stocks help align your message with your values. For launches or VIP invites, foil printing adds tactile sparkle that people notice. Used with restraint, a foil border or logo can complement your piece without distracting from the content.
Design Setup: Top Tips That Save Time And Avoid Rework
Good design helps people find what they need, fast. Here are a few top tips to keep your artwork print-ready and your message clear:
– Work in CMYK colour. This is standard in commercial printing and virtually eliminates surprises between the screen and the press.
– Add a 3 mm bleed and keep text inside safe margins. This avoids white edges after trimming.
– Use high-resolution photos so images stay crisp. Small, compressed files can blur in print.
– Keep hierarchy simple. Strong headings, short paragraphs and clear calls to action guide the eye.
– Always check the proof. A quick review can save costs and ensure the end result is protected.
No designer on hand? Use our in-house support as your leaflet maker. We can create artwork from your brief or tidy supplied files, then provide advice on tweaks that improve readability, colour balance and space. If you prefer to create the file yourself, we share easy setup tips and templates via our site and we will check key points before we proceed.
How To Order And What To Expect
Share your brief, quantity and timings, and we will provide clear options. We confirm stocks, folds and finishes, check your file, and keep you updated at each stage. Order in advance where possible to secure press time, save on delivery, and ensure any amendments are handled without rush. If a date is set, let us know early so we can plan production, taking into account finishing and any stands or holders that need to be installed at your venue.
Our process is built for speed without compromising quality. Short runs can be turned quickly. Larger runs benefit from scale, leading to better unit pricing. If anything changes, we provide quick updates and practical solutions.
Printed Leaflets Ready To Use Across Alton
Once your leaflets are printed, they should be ready for the way your business plans to use them. Some customers need compact flyers for handouts, appointment packs or shopping bags, while others need folded leaflets for reception areas, events, sales packs or local enquiries.
Colourstream helps you choose a print format that suits the setting, message and expected handling. A simple A5 flyer may work well for a short promotion, while a folded leaflet gives you more room for service details, pricing, opening times or event information. For pieces that need to last longer, we can advise on stronger stocks and finishes that feel more substantial in the hand.
Although we do not provide leaflet distribution, we ensure your printed materials are produced clearly, neatly and to the right specification for your marketing plans. Whether you are sharing them in person, placing them at your premises or using a separate distribution provider, we can print leaflets that are practical, professional and ready to use across Alton.
Are Leaflets Still Effective Marketing Tools In Alton?
Leaflets remain a practical way for Alton businesses to share offers, promote services and put clear information directly in front of local customers. They work especially well when they are well designed, easy to read and printed on the right stock for the purpose.
At Colourstream, we help businesses create leaflets that feel professional and reflect the quality of their brand. Whether you need a simple flyer for a short promotion, a folded leaflet for service information or a more premium piece for an event or launch, we can advise on the best size, paper weight and finish for your campaign.
Good print still has a place in local marketing because people can pick it up, keep it, pass it on or return to it later. With clear messaging, strong design and reliable production, your leaflet can support enquiries, footfall and brand awareness across Alton.
If you want one point of contact for design, print, holders and stands, Colourstream can coordinate everything and provide a clear timeline from artwork through to finished print.

Helpful Design Tips To Start Your Project
A few more tips before you press go. Keep one message per panel on folded leaflets, avoid cramming too much copy, and use photos that reinforce the point you want people to remember. Strong contrasts help key offers stand out on stands and in holders. Check contact details, opening hours, and URLs carefully, and ensure calls to action are clear and visible. Taking ten minutes in advance to review these points can save your project from delay.
