Best Paper for Flyers, Brochures and Menus

The best flyer paper depends on handling and finish: uncoated for text-led handouts, glossy for photographs, matte for a restrained low-glare look. Lighter stock suits handouts and heavier stock feels sturdier for menus.

๐Ÿ“‹ Before you buy

  • Confirm printer compatibility and weight limit.
  • Decide whether the piece will be folded, which needs scoring on heavier stock.
  • Decide whether lamination is required.
