You've probably guessed that we get loads of requests for sponsorship every week. We're sure your charity, cause or event is worthwhile and you feel strongly about getting support for it. We understand. And we're sure you understand, we can't dish out cash to everyone who asks. As we're a low-cost business, we aren't able to individually assess your application, or make random decisions on which requests are for the worthiest causes. So we treat everyone equally and focus on providing the lowest possible prices, to make your fundraising budget go further. We work with many charities and causes that realise that well crafted design and professionally printed products aid their fundraising.
We're always on the look out for new talent and there's lots of ways you could work with us.

Products & Services
We've tried to assemble a range of items which cover most of the marketing bases. If you can't find what you're looking for, please contact us and we'll see what we can suggest.
We've tried to make it easy to navigate our range. Whether you're looking for business cards, letterheads, flyers, leaflets or any other item, we'll show you the most popular option straight away. You can then customise your spec, just for you. Just play with the buttons on the product pages to try out different styles and finishes.
All printing's the same right? Leaflets from us are the same as leaflets from that bloke your brother knows. Business cards from that little shop on the high street are as good as ours, right? Wrong! They may sound the same, but its like comparing apples with whales. We give you a 'business class' product at an 'economy class' price. We print every order with High Definition Reproduction. This means your photos and text will be printed so clearly you'll want to lick them!
The majority of our production is done in the UK in our own production centre, although some specialist items, such as envelopes, are produced in The Netherlands.
Unless we tell you otherwise, your order will be printed with High-Definition Reproduction on conventional litho printing presses - the kind that would normally print catalogues and glossy magazines. We print your order with lots of others at the same time, so you get the best price and the highest quality.
Sure - we have recycled options on Leaflets, Letterheads and Compliment Slips, all made from 100% post-consumer waste. Most of our Business Cards and many other items are printed on 50% recycled card - look for the description.
Yes - around 99% of our volume is printed on FSC certified paper - just look for 'FSC certified' in the item's description.
Probably - contact us and let us know what size you're looking for. If you can stick to a 'standard size' though, you'll get the lowest possible price.
Get in touch and let us know what you're looking for. We'll pass on your request to the original designer/other designers within TemplateCloud and see what is possible. We welcome clients getting in touch in this way because it helps us to let the TemplateCloud design community know exactly what design clients are looking to buy.
By all means contact us and let us know the theme, and we'll pass it on to the design community at TemplateCloud. However, if it's truly bespoke, and you want it to be exclusive, then the TemplateCloud route may not be the right one. Flyerzone is part of the Printing.com family. With over 300+ local, creative partners across the UK and Ireland. To find your local Printing.com outlet, who will be pleased and enthusiastic to work with you on your design project click here.
Flyerzone printing is lithographic, full colour. It's printed predominantly on B1 printing presses. To achieve the economies of scale, we print many similar orders together. This is often called batching or ganging. We do this because, we believe, it gives better value than printing digitally.
We buy the best value paper and card that's available in the market (provided it's sourced and produced responsibly), so that we can offer Flyerzone customers the best value. In doing so, we inevitably will buy different paper and card from different mills across Europe. For a given stock, say 280g, this means that the subtle characteristics can change slightly. Given that Flyerzone offers the best value design and great value printing, we believe that this approach makes sense and stretches your promotional budget further.
(a) A Printing.com outlet has my artwork, can I get hold of it?
Printing.com outlets produce premier, agency style printing and offer a consultative led design service across the UK. Speak to your local PDC outlet; depending on what was agreed at the time of order, they may be able to release the artwork to you in return for an Artwork Release Fee, as is common in the design industry. In some circumstances, an outlet may not be able to pass the design to you, due to external licensing and copyright issues. This is likely to be the case if they have used 'stock photography' or other images from third party providers. In these circumstances they are not deliberately trying to be unhelpful, but simply upholding the important principles of copyright.
(b) Do I need any special skills to supply the files?
Supplying files requires some level of technical expertise. If this isn't you, then maybe continuing with the Printing.com route makes more sense. If this doesn't present a problem, then we've put together a File Supply Guide in our Downloads area.
(c) Will my printing be the same as Printing.com?
Printing.com offers a premium agency print service. The Printing.com papers and cards are chosen from a Premium selection and usually stay the same throughout the course of the year, minimising variation each time an order is printed. At Flyerzone we buy the best value paper and card that's available month-by-month (provided it's sourced and produced responsibly), so that we can offer Flyerzone customers the best value. In doing so, as we buy different stock from different mills across Europe, subtle characteristics can change slightly. Given that Flyerzone offers the best value design and great value printing, we believe that this approach makes sense and stretches your promotional budget further.

Simply select the text you wish to edit, start typing or use the Text Editor to make your changes.
On the top right of your screen, click the "Move Page" icon and your pointer will turn into a hand. Move your page by dragging it with the hand, to get it into the position you want. When you're done, click the "Move Page" icon again.
Our professional designers have laboured over the look and feel of each design. It would be really easy to mess this up, so whilst you can change the content of the design - the text, the images - we keep the layout locked.
If your item has 2 pages or a reverse, just click on the "Reverse" tab at the top of the page. Click on the "Front" tab to return to the front page.

If there are any suitable images already in your Files & Images folder, you'll see them here. Just click one and click "Use this image".

You can now use the image editor to move, rotate and scale your image. Best to use good quality, high resolution images. We'll warn you if they aren't good enough quality to print.
You'll get best results from JPG or TIF images. We print at very high resolution, so images you download from the internet usually aren't good enough for print. We recommend using only good quality, high-resolution images - at least 300dpi (dots per inch). When you take a picture from a digital camera its usually in RGB format. We will convert these to CMYK print format when upload them, but if you do this yourself you'll probably get best results.
Our professional designers have laboured over the look and feel of each design. It would be really easy to mess this up, so whilst you can change the content of the design - the text, the images - we keep the layout locked. Some images or objects might be locked because they are part of the design. It's easy to see which bits you can edit - they're highlighted with pink "Edit" buttons. Click the button and see the options.
Sure. Just press the 'Save' button. You'll need to register or "Sign in". Next time you visit, "Sign in" to your account and you'll see your saved designs on your Dashboard. Just choose the one you want to work on and you can start where you left off.
Sure. See "How do I upload my own image or logo?" for instructions on how to do it. Please be aware that all images you use within your design must be your own, or you must have permission from the copyright holder to use them. Don't steal images from websites, use photographs which belong to someone else or pictures of celebrities without their permission.
Please check your design carefully before you finish. We offer fantastic prices by automating our entire process. So the first set of human eyes proof-reading your design will be your own when you open the box. We don't want you to be sad. So please check all telephone numbers, dates, times, addresses, prices and spelling before you order. If you spot an error after you've ordered, then we're sorry that we won't be able to rectify it.
We add new designs every day, throughout the day. If there's something you're looking for and can't find, please contact us and we'll put your request on our "Most Wanted" list.

Just select the text and press 'delete'or 'backspace' to remove it from your design. You can also delete whole text boxes or logo placeholders by selecting the box and clicking on the red cross.
If you've created a design that you love and want to use it on other items, have a look for matching designs in the same collection. Quite often, we'll put together matching stationery and marketing material. If you don't see what you're looking for please contact us. We'll either ask our designers to build a new template for you to edit, or we'll give you a price for a 'custom' design.
