Best Print on Demand Services | Paper | FlyerHeroes.com

Back in the day, you had two options when it came to printing: printing at home (which delivered amateur results) and working with a local printer (which could prove to be both costly and time-consuming).

Thankfully, we no longer live in “back in the day,” and today, there’s an alternative option to get your printing needs to be done quickly, professionally, and affordably – and that’s using a print on demand services.

With print-on-demand services, you can get anything you need to be designed, printed, and delivered with a few clicks of a button. But with so many services out there, how do you know which are the best for you and your print needs?

Where to Get Designs Printed On Demand

If you’ve got a design that you need printed on something – whether that’s a flyer, a poster, a t-shirt, or a water bottle – here are the places you’ll want to check out:

Zazzle

If variety is important to you when it comes to a print-on-demand service, you’ll definitely want to give Zazzle a try. Zazzle has hundreds of products to choose from – from flyers to napkins to hats to tote bags. All you have to do is upload your design to the platform and then add it to whichever product you’d like it printed on.

Zazzle also offers a customization tool that makes it easy to visualize how your design will look on each product as well as rearrange or add elements before going to print. And because Zazzle doesn’t have a minimum order number, this is a great option for low-volume orders.

Vistaprint

You can’t talk about print-on-demand services without talking about Vistaprint. Vistaprint is the go-to in the print-on-demand industry for everything from posters to invitations to flyers. The platform offers a number of customization options including different paper types, sizes, thicknesses, and finishes.

Vistaprint is also ALWAYS having sales, so before you make a purchase, make sure to do a little internet research to see if you can find a promo code (you can save anywhere from 10% to 40% on your print job depending on the sale!).

Moo

Moo is mostly known as the place to get your business cards – but that’s far from all this print-on-demand service does. Moo offers a wide variety of papers, sizes, and printing options and can accommodate any paper printing need – whether you’re on the market for flyers, pamphlets, envelopes, or postcards.

Where To Get Flyers Printed On Demand

Now, don’t get us wrong – you can easily get your flyers printed using any of the above print-on-demand services. But when you’re printing flyers, you probably don’t need all the bells and whistles those other sites offer and can get your flyers done faster and more affordable by using one of these options:

FedEx

Most people think of FedEx in terms of shipping. But FedEx also has a print division, and it’s incredibly easy to use. All you have to do is upload your flyer design to FedEx’s web page and choose your print preferences (like quantity and paper type). Once you submit your print request, FedEx will get started on your print job – and you can usually pick up your flyers at your nearest FedEx store on the same day.

Staples

Chances are that wherever you live, there’s a Staples nearby. The office supply powerhouse has more than 1,500 locations in North America, and while they’re a great place to stock up on binders and paper clips, they’re also a great place to get your flyers printed. Staples offers a wide variety of print services, including flyer printing – and similar to FedEx, as long as you upload your design by 2 pm, you can pick up your flyers in-store on the same day.

Special Considerations for Printing Flyers Online

Now, print-on-demand services are definitely convenient – but there are also some things you need to keep in mind when printing online to make sure you’re happy with the final results.

Here are some special considerations for printing flyers online:

  • Make sure your file is a high enough resolution.

When you’re uploading your file to a print-on-demand service, you want to make sure you’re uploading a high enough resolution; otherwise, your final print job will look like a pixelated mess.

  • Make sure everything about your design is exactly the way you want it.

Before you send a design to be printed, go through it with a fine-toothed comb to make sure there are no mistakes. Check that everything is spelled correctly, all the details are accurate, (so, for example, if you’re hosting an event, make sure the time and place are correct), and that the graphics are the way you want them. Print-on-demand services typically don’t send proof before printing, so if you upload your design with a mistake, they’re going to print it with a mistake – and you’re going to have the eat the cost.

  • Choose the right paper type and weight.

The paper type and weight you choose are going to affect your final print job almost as much as the design, so it’s important you understand which choices are right for your flyer design. The weight has to do with the density of the paper stock – and the higher the density (measured in grams per square meter or “gsm”), the higher the quality. For paper type, you have two choices – coated or uncoated. Uncoated paper is exactly what it sounds like – uncoated. This is the kind of “regular” paper you’d find in a book and it’s typically not the best for printing flyers. Coated paper is the kind of paper you’d use to print a photo – it has a kind of shininess to it that makes it ideal for printing flyers. With coated paper, you also have a number of additional finish options like matte, silk, and gloss.

Print-on-demand services give you a ton of flexibility with printing your designs. Now all that’s left to do is get out there and print!
