📰 Top 10 Design Mistakes to Avoid in Your Flyer Printing
Avoid common flyer design errors that cost you time, money, and customers. Whether you're promoting your business or launching an event in London, here's how to make your flyers stand out — and get them printed fast.
🚫 1. Using Low-Resolution Images
Grainy, pixelated images can ruin the look of your flyer — especially when printed.
✅ Tip: Always use high-resolution (300 DPI) images for a professional finish.
📐 2. Forgetting Bleed & Safe Zones
Flyers that don’t include a proper bleed area might be trimmed incorrectly during production.
✅ Tip: Add 3mm bleed and keep key content within 5mm from the edge.

✏️ 3. Overcrowded Layouts
Too much information or poor spacing will overwhelm the reader.
✅ Tip: Keep it clean and scannable. Use bold headings, spacing, and icons.

🔡 4. Using Too Many Fonts
Multiple fonts can make your flyer look chaotic and unprofessional.
✅ Tip: Stick to 2–3 fonts max, and use them consistently across the design.
🎨 5. Poor Color Choices
Bad contrast or clashing colors can make your text unreadable.
✅ Tip: Use brand-safe, contrasting colors — especially if you're printing on gloss or silk finishes.
📋 6. Not Proofreading
Spelling errors instantly reduce trust.
✅ Tip: Double-check your text and have someone else give it a final read before submitting for print.

📣 7. No Clear Call to Action
Your flyer should guide the reader to take action—call, visit, or scan.
✅ Tip: Use bold CTAs like “Book Now,” “Visit Us Today,” or “Scan to Learn More.”
🧩 8. Ignoring Brand Consistency
Inconsistent colors, logos, or tone can confuse your audience.
✅ Tip: Keep your flyer aligned with your brand across all marketing channels.

📄 9. Overlooking Print Finish
Your flyer might look great on screen but underperform in print without the right paper or finish.
✅ Tip: Choose the right stock and finish — silk for vibrant marketing, uncoated for that recycled nod and feel, lamination for that extra luxe lift.
📁 10. Submitting the Wrong File Format
Incorrect file types can delay your flyer printing.
✅ Tip: Export your artwork as a print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks.
