How Do We Create A Successful Letterbox Flyer Drop For Your Business?
You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for a successful Letterbox Flyer Drop for your business.
We have more than 15 years of experience. With our help you can put together a campaign to achieve the best results possible that have the best chance of success.
Letterbox Flyer Drop Inclusive Packages
Our team can coordinate all aspects of your Letterbox Flyer Drop. This can include all the planning, mapping, artwork, printing, distribution and management. And this is all from only 9 cents per house reached.
If you already have your own artwork created, or even created and printed we can still help you with just the distribution. Please call 1300 558 113 for a custom quote.
It all starts with a conversation to uncover what you’re trying to achieve.
We need to really work out what will motivate your neighbourhood to take some action when they receive your flyer.
How many times have you visited your letterbox and found flyers that provide information about a certain business? They may even have some lovely photos. But there is nothing on that flyer to make the person receiving the flyer take any action. Or any incentive to do so. These do not do so well!
Call to Actions
While we believe in a strong, appropriate call to action, that doesn’t always mean you have to give away free stuff or run a complicated competition. We will help you simplify your offers for better success.
Anyway, we can point you in the right direction when it comes to what can potentially work best for your business.

Absolutely no obligation!
Mapping your local area
Together with your input we look at where your business is located and where your most likely new customers will come from. For example your business may be in Suburb A but your best prospects may be in Suburb B.
Mapping options
Or if you have a retail location you may like to have us do a map with your business in the centre. Or you may like to nominate parts of many different suburbs. We can talk this over. And help create your own mapping for your Letterbox Flyer Drop of 10,000 or more homes (depending on your budget) in your preferred areas.
Creating your artwork with you
We’ve made creating your Letterbox Flyer Drop easy. We will create all the artwork for your flyer with your input. We will ask you to provide all images, logo’s, ideas and text you have, or have used before. Then we will format and create a flyer that can make a difference to your business.

Once we have created your Flyer or Catalogue we will send you a draft or proof by email as a PDF. You can make changes at this stage, or we can discuss further ideas.
More about the distribution …
A distribution to 10,000 different homes usually involves around 30 to 50 different “walkers” as each deliver to around 250 – 400 homes, so we can break up suburbs for your best demographic areas.
Distribution always takes place on a Tuesday and Wednesday each week. We can help you reach anywhere from 10,000 to 7 million homes anywhere in Australia.
Lots of options. What size flyer should you choose..
A3 size – 297mm x 420mm
This is the biggest of all the flyers for your Letterbox Flyer Drops. A3 is double the A4 . We would usually fold in half to A4 size to create a folded brochure or catalogue.
A4 size – 297mm x 210mm
This is one of the biggest of all the flyers for your Letterbox Flyer Drops. This size is the most frequently used size of paper. Usually used for letterhead paper, business documents, forms, brochures and advertisements. There are a few options with this size. You can have them folded in half or roll folded to DL size for mailers. We can help you with this when we print them.
A5 size – 210mm x 148mm
Half of an A4 size. This is a very handy size for Letterbox Flyer Drops, showroom flyers or for Trade Shows, booklet printing, flyers, leaflets, advertisements. Or if on heavier stock, it can be scored and folded to make A6 sized postcards. Again you can have the A5 Size folded in half to A6 size. We can help you with this when we print them.
A6 size – 148mm x 105mm
And then half as much again. This is the most economical of all the flyer sizes you might choose for your Letterbox Flyer Drops. Generally this size is used for postcards, booklet printing, flyers, leaflets and advertisements.
DL size – 99mm x 210mm
Around half of all Letterbox Flyer Drops is done using a DL flyer. DL stands for dimension lengthwise and is a common size for envelopes and promotional materials such as brochures and flyers. It is also exactly a third the size of A4 size.
The pricing calculator shows indicative pricing for a distribution (including all the planning, mapping, artwork, printing and management) to 10,000 homes.
Please call 1300 558 113 if you want to reach more homes than this for a custom quote.
Artwork is included in all Letterbox Drop pricing.

SUPPLYING YOUR OWN ARTWORK
- PDF format preferred
- CMYK colour
- 300dpi resolution minimum
- Fonts converted to outlines or flattened
- Emerald Print accepts a range of popular file formats for printing.
- These formats include PDF, JPG, TIF, BMP, PSD, EPS, AI.
ARTWORK RESOLUTION
The minimum resolution we would recommend for print is 300dpi. Anything less than 300dpi may be low resolution and may not print with the clarity you were after.
The resolution displayed on the web is 72dpi. This means that images saved from the internet/Google may not be suitable to print because the resolution could be much lower than the 300dpi minimum we recommend.
Always make sure to read your artwork proof carefully, and make sure we haven’t noted that your artwork may be low resolution and unsuitable for print.
BLEED
Your artwork requires a minimum 3mm bleed. Bleed refers to the printing that goes beyond the trim edge, which allows for movement on the guillotine when trimming your product down to size. You will need bleed on any coloured background or image that touches the edge of your artwork. This ensures that when cut down to size, there won’t be a hairline white edge next to your image or background. The 3mm of bleed will need to be added to each edge of your document. So for example, if your artwork is A4 (210x297mm) with bleed added on, the total size of the artwork is 216x303mm.
Colours on your artwork proof are NOT guaranteed to be an accurate representation of the final printed product. Colours will also vary when printed from a desktop printer. If colour matching is a crucial component to your design, we strongly urge you to speak to us before approving any artwork.
Accounts
All printing products must be paid for in full before they are sent to print, unless a specific arrangement has been made and a credit application approved.
We require a 50% upfront payment before the artwork process starts.
Emerald Print reserves the right to process payments using a payment method previously supplied by the customer for overdue orders. Interest may be charged on any overdue accounts, and the customer agrees to pay any and all costs, fees, expenses, inclusive of commissions, legal expenses and disbursements incurred in obtaining or attempting to obtain payment of any overdue account.

Variations to Colour in the Print Process
Although not usual, it is possible there may be colour variations from what you have seen on screen, to what the final product looks like. This is common with CMYK offset printing and bulk-run printing. Different finishes, laminates and stock variations over time will also create variations in colour.
Trimming
All products are trimmed once printed. Trimming may shift up to 2mm in any direction so remember to keep live type away from the edge of the printed product – we always allow at least 3- 5mm from the trim.
Turnaround Times
