Question
How much do flyers cost at a copy shop vs. online?
Answer
Copy shops and online printers price flyers very differently. A local copy shop is convenient for tiny runs but charges more per piece, often roughly 0.50 to 1.50 dollars for a color flyer on standard paper. Online printers use larger presses and volume pricing, so per-unit cost drops sharply once you reach a few hundred pieces, and you get access to stocks and finishes copy shops rarely carry.
- Copy shop: handy for a handful of flyers, but higher cost per piece and limited paper options.
- Online printer: much lower per-unit price at 250+ pieces, with premium stocks and finishes available.
- Break-even: small one-off jobs can favor a copy shop, while any real quantity favors online.
- Extras online: gloss, matte, uncoated, cardstock, and specialty coatings that copy shops often lack.
| Option | Per-piece cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Copy shop | Higher (approx. 0.50-1.50) | Very small runs |
| Online printer | Lower at volume | 250+ pieces, more finishes |
