Whether you’re hosting a last-minute event in the West End, launching a flash sale in Shoreditch, or simply hit an unexpected deadline, the need for urgent, high-quality promotional materials is a common reality for London businesses.
When you search for “Fastest Flyer Printing London,” you’re not just looking for any printer; you’re looking for a partner with the capacity, technology, and logistical muscle to deliver on a tight deadline.
Here is the essential guide to turning around a print run of up to 5,000 flyers in under 24 hours, and the critical steps you must take to ensure your order is on time, every time.
The 24-Hour Checklist
To guarantee speed, everything – from your artwork to the collection point – must be optimised. We follows a rapid workflow built on three pillars:
1: Ready Artwork is Non-Negotiable
The biggest delay in urgent printing is almost always artwork that fails pre-press checks.
- Colour Mode: Use CMYK (not RGB). Incorrect colour mode requires conversion, which can delay printing and lead to colour inaccuracies.
- Bleed: Include a 3mm bleed around all edges. This prevents white borders when the flyers are trimmed.
- Resolution: Ensure all images and graphics are at least 300dpi (dots per inch). Low-res images will be pixelated when printed.
- Fonts: Embed or outline all fonts in your PDF. If we don’t have your font, the file will be flagged for manual fixing.
PRO TIP: Submit your files as a single, print-ready PDF with the correct bleeds and crop marks. If you’re unsure, ask for our free artwork templates first.
2: Choose the Right Specification
Same-day and next-day services are often limited to specific, high-volume stock to ensure rapid availability. Choosing a special finish will add time.
| Specification | Fast Printing (24 Hours) |
| Quantity | Typically up to 5,000 units (A5 or A6) |
| Paper Size | A6, A5, and A4 flat flyers |
| Paper Weight | 135gsm to 300gsm silk or gloss |
| Finish | Unlaminated. Lamination (matte or gloss) requires extra curing time, which can push the order past the 24-hour mark. |
3: Order by the Cut-Off Time
Every London printer operates on strict cut-off times to ensure same-day production and dispatch.
- Our Cut-Off: To ensure next-day delivery or same-day collection, artwork approval must be confirmed by 1:00 PM the previous day.
- Approval is Key: Simply submitting your file before the cut-off is not enough. You must respond quickly to any proofing queries from our pre-press team.
