How Much Do 500 A5 Flyers Cost in 2026? (Real UK Prices)

At Minuteman Press Ipswich, 500 A5 flyers printed full colour on 170gsm stock cost £65 — that's 13p per flyer. Prices published, no quote-form dance. Quantity is the biggest price lever: unit cost drops steeply between 100 and 1,000 copies because setup is fixed regardless of run length.

What affects the price?

Factor	Cheaper	Dearer
Quantity	Bigger runs (lower unit cost)	Very short runs
Size	A6	A4
Sides	Single	Double (small uplift)
Paper	130gsm	250gsm+
Turnaround	Standard	Same day

Why do prices vary so much between printers?

Online giants advertise loss-leader prices, then add delivery, add days to the turnaround, and offer no artwork check by a human. Local pricing includes a free file check, same-day availability, and collection from Tacket Street in Ipswich town centre — no courier risk on a deadline.

Is double-sided worth it?

Usually yes. The second side costs a fraction of the first (the paper and setup are already paid for) and doubles your message space. Menus, price lists and event details belong on the back.

How can I pay less per flyer?

Order once for the quarter instead of monthly; keep the design dateless so leftovers stay usable; choose A5 over A4 unless you truly need the space; and supply a print-ready file so nothing needs fixing.
