Those are print prices only. Shipping and any paper, coating, or rush upgrades get added at checkout. Below is the full table, the per-piece math that actually matters, and a real reorder problem restaurants run into every week.
Letter flyer price table, 80 lb. gloss book, both sides
Letter flyers on 80 lb. Gloss Book run $43.50 for 100 pieces and climb to $319.49 for 5,000, both sides, checked July 2026. The 500-to-1,000 step is the one worth memorizing: only $14.42 apart for double the flyers.
| Qty | Base price | Per piece |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $43.50 | $0.44 |
| 250 | $87.47 | $0.35 |
| 500 | $101.43 | $0.20 |
| 1000 | $115.85 | $0.12 |
| 2500 | $185.52 | $0.07 |
| 5000 | $319.49 | $0.06 |
The 500-to-1,000 jump is the one worth memorizing: $101.43 to $115.85, only $14.42 apart for double the flyers. If your count is anywhere near 500, and you can realistically use the extras within a few weeks, stepping up to 1,000 is almost always the better buy per piece.
Scenario: a restaurant’s weekend specials flyer
A restaurant wants a fresh flyer every weekend listing that Friday and Saturday’s specials, handed out at the host stand and slipped under windshield wipers in the strip mall lot. The problem is not the price table, it is that the content changes every single week, so a big batch order does not obviously fit.
Ordering 250 flyers fresh each week at $87.47 costs $349.88 across a month, plus four separate shipping charges, four separate turnaround windows, and four chances to catch a Thursday-night production delay before Friday’s rush. Switch the design instead: print a reusable flyer with the restaurant’s logo, hours, and a large QR code that always points to that week’s specials on the website, and order 1,000 of that fixed design once for $115.85. One production run, one shipping charge, and the “weekend specials” content lives online where it is actually easy to change without reprinting anything.
The trade-off is real: a QR-code flyer relies on the customer’s phone and a working web page, while a fully printed specials list works without anyone touching their phone. Many restaurants land on a hybrid: order 1,000 reusable QR flyers for the counter and window displays as the everyday piece, then print a small 100-piece batch at $43.50 anytime a true one-off promotion (a holiday menu, a private event) needs its own printed sheet.
Paper choice without overbuying
80 lb. gloss book is enough for a handout that gets read once and either kept on a fridge or tossed. It is the right call for table inserts, bag stuffers, and door-drop flyers. Move up to a 14 pt. or heavier cover stock when the flyer will sit on a counter, get passed hand to hand for weeks, or needs to feel closer to a postcard than a piece of paper. Specialty stocks (linen, kraft, pearl finishes) jump noticeably in price in the same lookup file; use them when the brand genuinely calls for that texture, not as a default upgrade.
Before you print a weekly-changing flyer
- Ask whether the content truly needs a full reprint or just a QR-code update
- Compare four small reorders against one bigger reusable order
- Check the live cart for the exact 11×17 rate before sizing up
- Confirm bleed and margins if color runs to the sheet edge
Size matters more than people expect
All the numbers above are for letter-size, 8.5″ x 11″. Step up to 11×17 tabloid and the price rises at every quantity, because a bigger sheet uses more paper and more press time per piece, not because the shop is charging extra for the larger format on principle. If your design genuinely needs the bigger canvas, that is a legitimate call, but do not default to 11×17 “to be safe” when the content would fit comfortably on a letter sheet. Check the live cart for the current 11×17 rate at your exact quantity before you commit; it does not simply double the letter price, but it is meaningfully more at every tier.
Front-only versus both sides
Printing both sides is not automatically double the front-only price once the press is already running your sheet size. Compare your exact quantity on the live form; sometimes the gap between front-only and both-sides is smaller than people assume, which makes adding a map, hours, or a second offer on the back an easy upgrade.
Build a reusable flyer around a logo, hours, and one large QR code that always points to the current specials page. One bigger print run replaces many small reorders and the extra shipping charges that come with each one.
The verified HotPrintsUSA code hotprintsusa-10-off-for-copies applies to eligible color-copy products, not flyers. If you are printing a letter-size, single or double-sided sheet on the color-copies form instead of the flyer product, the coupon may apply there; check the deals hub for the current flyer-specific offers, if any, before checkout.

FAQ
Is 1,000 flyers always the smart order over 500?
Often, yes, when the $14.42 gap between the two tiers is small relative to your total budget and you can realistically distribute the extra pieces within a reasonable window. If the design will be outdated in two weeks, order only what you will actually use.
What size should I pick if I am unsure?
8.5×11 letter is the default handout size and the cheapest per square inch on this table. Half-letter and rack-card sizes use less paper but need a design built specifically for the smaller frame, not a shrunk-down letter layout.
Do I need bleed on my flyer file?
Yes, if any color or image runs to the edge of the sheet. Use the store’s template download on the product page so the trim does not leave a thin white line at the border.
How fast can flyers ship?
Standard turnaround is the cheapest path. Rush options exist on the live form and raise the total, so reserve them for dates you genuinely cannot move.
Can I reorder the exact same flyer without redesigning anything?
Yes, if the file has not changed, most repeat orders just reuse the same approved artwork. That is part of why a reusable, QR-code-driven flyer design saves money for weekly-changing promotions.
Does a QR code flyer actually save money over reprinting weekly?
In the restaurant example above, yes: $115.85 once for 1,000 reusable flyers beats $349.88 across four weekly 250-piece orders, plus it cuts three extra shipping charges and three extra production windows.
Is front-only cheaper enough to skip the back side?
Sometimes the gap is small enough that adding hours, a map, or a second offer on the back is nearly free once the press is already running your sheet. Compare the exact numbers for your quantity on the live form before deciding.
