Die-Cut Flyers

Die Cut Flyers That Get Noticed - Not Tossed

Die Cut Flyers are custom-shaped flyers trimmed to any outline you want - your logo, a product silhouette, a bold geometric shape. Unlike standard rectangular flyers that blend into every stack on every counter, these grab attention the second someone picks one up. 4OVER4 has been printing for 25+ years, and Die Cut Flyers remain one of the most effective ways to make a physical impression that sticks.

Think about it. You're at a trade show. Every booth has a pile of rectangular flyers. Now imagine handing someone a flyer shaped like a coffee cup, a house, or a guitar. That's the kind of thing people don't throw away. They keep it. They show it to someone else. That's die cut flyer printing doing what ordinary print can't.

"We ordered Die Cut Flyers shaped like our food truck for a local festival. People were literally walking up to our booth just to grab one. Best marketing investment we've made all year."

- Marcus L., food truck owner

4OVER4 prints Die Cut Flyers on premium card stocks that feel big in hand - sturdy, crisp, and professional. You're not handing out flimsy paper.

Specs and Options for Your Die Cut Flyers

Die Cut Flyers from 4OVER4 come with a range of paper stocks, sizes, and finishing options. Every specification below is built around giving your custom shape the best possible print quality and structural integrity. If you're comparing these to standard Business Flyers, the key difference is the custom trim path that follows your design instead of a straight edge.

Here are the available paper types, finishes, and printing options you can choose from:

Turnaround times vary based on quantity and complexity of your die cut shape. Here's what to expect:

• Same Day
• 3 Business Days
• 5 Business Days

Every Die Cut Flyers order includes a free digital proof before printing begins. 4OVER4 prints in full CMYK color on both sides, so your design has maximum real estate - front and back.

Paper Stocks Built for Custom-Shaped Flyers

The paper you choose for Die Cut Flyers matters more than you'd think. A custom shape needs a stock that holds its edge cleanly without bending, curling, or looking cheap. Thin paper won't cut it - literally. The die cutting process demands a certain rigidity so the finished piece keeps its shape in hand, in a stack, or in the mail.

4OVER4 offers multiple card stock options for Die Cut Flyers. Thicker stocks like 14pt and 16pt uncoated or coated card give your flyer a rigid, professional feel. These are the stocks that make people pause when they pick one up. The weight says "this matters" before anyone reads the headline.

"I went with the 16pt gloss for our salon's Die Cut Flyers. The colors pop and the edges are so clean. Clients keep asking where we got them."

- Priya K., salon owner

Coated stocks deliver vivid, saturated color reproduction - perfect for photography-heavy designs or bold brand palettes. Uncoated stocks have a natural, textured feel that works beautifully for organic brands, artisan businesses, or any design with a softer aesthetic. If you're drawn to unique shapes, you might also love Circle Flyers as a simpler die cut option.

4OVER4 prints on 60+ paper types across its full product line. The stocks available for Die Cut Flyers are selected specifically because they perform well under the die cutting blade - clean edges, no tearing, no fiber pull. That's the kind of detail that separates a polished piece from a sloppy one.

Finish Options That Make Die Cut Flyers Pop

Die Cut Flyers already stand out because of their shape. Add the right finish, and they become something people want to hold onto. 4OVER4 offers finish options designed to protect your print and boost its visual impact.

Gloss coating gives your Die Cut Flyers a shiny, reflective surface that makes colors look richer and more saturated. It's the go-to for bold, high-contrast designs with lots of photography. Gloss also adds a subtle layer of protection against fingerprints and scuffing.

Matte coating delivers a smooth, non-reflective surface with a refined, understated look. Text reads crisply on matte. It's a favorite for brands going for a sophisticated, modern vibe. The texture feels silky in hand - a tactile bonus that rectangular flyers rarely get.

UV coating adds a high-gloss protective layer that resists moisture and wear. If your Die Cut Flyers are heading to outdoor events, trade shows, or high-traffic counters, UV coating keeps them looking sharp longer.

4OVER4 applies finishes with precision so your custom shape stays clean from edge to edge. No peeling, no bubbling, no inconsistencies. The finish follows the die cut perfectly.

Real Ways Businesses Put Die Cut Flyers to Work

Die Cut Flyers aren't a novelty - they're a strategic tool. Here's how real businesses use them to drive results:

Restaurants and Food Brands

A pizza shop prints flyers shaped like a pizza slice. A bakery uses a cupcake silhouette. These aren't gimmicks. They're conversation starters that get pinned to fridges instead of recycled. 500 custom-shaped flyers at a local food festival can generate more buzz than a standard postcard mailing of twice the size.

Real Estate Agents

House-shaped Die Cut Flyers with a property listing on one side and agent contact info on the other. Leave them at open houses, coffee shops, or community boards. The shape immediately signals what the flyer is about - no reading required.

Retail and Product Launches

Launching a new product? Cut the flyer in the shape of that product. A shoe brand. A bottle. A phone case. The flyer becomes a miniature billboard that people keep on their desks. 4OVER4 makes this easy with custom die lines you upload with your artwork.
