Flyers and ads can be created in all shapes and sizes. When choosing a flyer size, consider print costs, visibility, and your method of distribution. If you are printing in a magazine or newspaper, you will probably need to adjust your flyer or ad size to the print requirements of the publication. For stand alone flyers, designing a flyer two or four to a page makes for easy, fast, and cost effective printing.
Half-Page Flyers – 2-up on 8.5×11 Sheet
This example shows a half page flyer template placed 2-up on an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper, effectively making each flyers final size 8.5 x 5.5″.

Quarter-Page Flyers – 4-up on 8.5×11 Sheet
This example shows a quarter page flyer template placed 4-up on a page. After cutting the document into four flyers, the size of each piece will be 4.25 x 5.5″.

When printing on an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper, you must leave some margin for the printer. The above examples show that a white margin surrounds the design. If your printer supports borderless printing or you are sending out your design to a professional printer, you may want to add bleed or cut your design down to the desired size.
