1Ordering

How do I place an order?

Choose your product, then pick the size, paper, quantity and print speed. Upload your artwork and check out. You’ll get a reference number as soon as your order is in our system.

Do you sell to the public or only to the trade?

Flyerz.co.za is open to everyone: businesses, schools, churches and individuals.

Can I split one quantity across different designs?

No. Our prices are for one design. For example, 5,000 flyers in 2 designs is charged as 2 × 2,500.

What is a reference number?

It’s the number we give your order. Please quote it whenever you contact us about your job.

Can I reorder something you’ve printed for me before?

Yes. Choose the “Re-order” option on the product page and quote your previous reference number. Artwork is charged separately, so if your artwork is already done you only pay for the printing.

What if I need more than the largest quantity listed?

Email sales@flyerz.co.za and your Account Executive will send you a quote.

Do you print everything yourselves?

Yes. We print in-house in Edenvale and don’t outsource, so we control the quality and the timing.

Do your prices include VAT?

No. All prices on the site exclude VAT. VAT is added at checkout.

Who is my Account Executive?

Your Account Executive looks after your Flyerz account and all sales enquiries, from quotes to delivery. Call 0861 359 379 or email sales@flyerz.co.za.

2Payment

How can I pay?

Online through PayFast, or by normal EFT into our bank account. If you’d rather not pay yet, choose “Email me a quote”.

When does my job start if I pay by EFT?

Once the payment reflects in our account and your artwork has been signed off. Proof of payment on its own doesn’t start the job. Please email your proof of payment to sales@flyerz.co.za with your reference number.

What are your banking details?

Standard Bank, account name Flyerz, account number 421667699, branch code 016342. Use your reference number as the payment reference. The details are also shown at checkout when you choose EFT.

Will I get a tax invoice?

Yes. Your tax invoice is emailed to you once your order is captured.

Do you offer credit accounts or 30-day terms?

No. All orders are paid in full upfront, before printing.

Is paying online safe?

Yes. Online payments are processed by PayFast. We never see or store your payment details.

3Artwork and design

What file format should I send?

Best: export your artwork as a print-ready PDF or image (JPG, PNG, TIFF or WebP) from any program, including CorelDRAW, Canva, InDesign and Photoshop. We'll adjust size, bleed and colour, and let you know if anything can't be fixed, like low-resolution images or missing fonts.

What is bleed and how much do I need?

Bleed is extra background that runs past the trim line, so there are no white edges after cutting. Add 2.5 mm on every side (an A5 flyer becomes 153 × 215 mm).

What resolution should images be?

At least 300 dpi at the printed size.

RGB or CMYK?

Please supply CMYK. RGB files can print duller than they look on screen.

Can you check my artwork before printing?

Yes. Every order gets an artwork check by our Graphic Designer, and you can try the free online checker on the Artwork Guidelines page. Prices are subject to this check.

Can you design my flyer for me?

Yes. Our Graphic Designer quotes on your brief, and design adds 2 working days to your dates.

Can you make small changes to my existing artwork?

If we can open your file, small changes are free. If we can’t, we may need to quote for a redesign.

Will my print colours match my screen exactly?

Not always. Screens and paper show colour differently (see Artwork Guidelines). Printed colour proofs are available, mainly for customers who visit the Flyerz studio.

Will I get a proof to approve?

Yes. Your Graphic Designer emails you a digital proof, and every job must be approved before it’s printed.

4Printing and turnaround

How long does printing take?

It depends on the product. Each product page shows your ready date when you choose your options.

What is the cut-off time for my job to start today?

Orders with approved artwork and payment in before 12:00 on a working day start that day.

Can I get it faster?

On Flyers and Business Cards, yes. Express costs 20% of the print price (minimum R100, maximum R1,500) and Overnight costs 40% (minimum R120, maximum R1,700).

Why isn’t Express on every product?

Faster turnaround is only available on Flyers and Business Cards for now.

How long do litho booklets take?

10 working days.

Do weekends and public holidays count?

No. Only working days count.

What paper are flyers printed on?

Our flyers are printed on 115gsm gloss art paper.

5Collection and delivery

Where do I collect?

At our FLY-THRU drive-through window, 14 Laurie Rd, Illiondale, Edenvale.

What are the FLY-THRU hours?

Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Closed on weekends and public holidays.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we courier anywhere in South Africa.

When will my delivery arrive?

Allow your ready date plus 4 working days.

How much is delivery?

It’s worked out at checkout from your parcel weight and address. Large items like correx boards and sharkfins are charged on box size.

Can someone else collect for me?

Yes. They just need your name and your order reference number.

How do I track my order?

Contact your Account Executive with your reference number and they’ll check with the courier for you.

What if my parcel arrives damaged?

Contact your Account Executive within 2 days of delivery, with photos if you can.

6Changes, cancellations and reprints

Can I change my order after placing it?

Yes, up until you sign off your artwork proof. Once it’s signed off, your job goes straight to plate making and can’t be changed.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, with a full refund, up until you sign off your artwork. After sign-off your job is in production alongside other customers’ jobs, so it can no longer be cancelled.

What if there’s a mistake in my print?

If it’s our fault, we’ll reprint or refund. Contact your Account Executive within 7 days of receiving your order, with photos if possible.

What if my artwork had a mistake I missed?

We print from the file you supply, so please check spelling, numbers and details carefully. That’s what your proof is for: it’s your final chance to catch anything before we print. Once you’ve signed it off, we print exactly what you approved, so a reprint for a missed mistake is charged. Take your time with the proof, and if anything looks off, just ask your Graphic Designer. We’re always happy to help.

Can I get a refund?

If the fault is ours, we reprint the affected items or refund you. Please tell us within 7 days, with photos and a few sample copies. Refunds are paid by EFT within 10 working days once your payment has cleared. Your rights under the Consumer Protection Act still apply. See our Terms.

7Account and quotes

Do I need an account to order?

No. Just fill in your details at checkout. No account or password needed.

Can I get a quote?

Yes. At checkout choose “Email me a quote”. We email it to you and it’s valid for 30 days. Order from it when you’re ready. Prices are subject to an artwork check.

Do you quote on custom jobs?

Yes. Email sales@flyerz.co.za with the size, quantity, paper and finish, and your Account Executive will come back to you.
