Short answer
Prepare a flyer for printing by confirming the final size, adding bleed for edge-to-edge artwork, keeping text inside safe margins and checking QR codes, phone numbers, offers and dates. Export a print PDF and review the proof before approving quantity.
What should you decide before designing?
Choose the flyer size, one-sided or double-sided layout and intended use before building the design.
A handout flyer, counter flyer and delivery insert may need different size and paper decisions.
What file checks matter most?
Check bleed, safe margins, image quality and text readability.
Pay special attention to dates, phone numbers, website URLs, prices and QR codes.
What should you avoid?
Avoid placing important information at the edge.
Avoid low-resolution screenshots, tiny terms text and QR codes with poor contrast.
How should you approve the flyer?
Review the final PDF at full page view and actual size.
If the flyer has a promotion or deadline, have the business owner approve the details before printing.
