Affordable Leaflets, online printer of leaflets and stationery in North West England

Affordable Leaflets is an online printing company based in Bolton, near Manchester, that sells leaflets, flyers, corporate stationery and other printed materials through its online shop. The company presents itself as part of the NWDS group, which includes a media agency, a property newspaper publisher and a print-buying company. Its operations rely on a network of supplier printers selected for price and production capacity.

Print catalogue

The catalogue covers leaflets and booklets in A6, A5, A4, A3 and DL formats, as well as A4 magazines and A6/A5 booklets. The stationery range includes business cards, compliment slips, letterheads, notepads and sticky notes, folders, stationery packs, greetings cards and envelopes. It also offers A4 and A5 NCR printing, posters and canvases, and promotional items such as pens, pencils, mugs and coasters.

Graphic design and web services

The company has a team of graphic and web designers based at its head office. These services make it possible to create a company's identity, logo and business card style from scratch, or to develop proposals based on ideas provided by the client. The offering is completed by the development of HTML, CMS and ecommerce websites, as well as banner design.

Distribution and logistics

Affordable Leaflets works alongside Royal Mail to facilitate the distribution of leaflets within the postal company's delivery system. Orders are sent by courier to any point in the UK and, according to the company's information, all prices include delivery. The site indicated the possibility of same-day or next-day delivery for its printing services.

Production volume and clients

The company states that it prints between 500,000 and one million leaflets per month. Among its clients it cites newspaper publishing groups, retailers, estate agents, takeaways and restaurants. It also mentions having supplied leaflets to local councillors, MPs and a major political party during the 2010 elections.

Materials and production method

The leaflets are printed on 130 gsm high-gloss paper using a full-colour CMYK process. The company explains that its suppliers use batch printing, which allows the presses to print numerous leaflets simultaneously and, thanks to high order volumes, reduces waiting times.

Origin and pricing positioning

The project began after a study of online print suppliers in the UK, from which the company concluded that it could offer A5 and A4 leaflets at least 15% to 20% cheaper than other companies in the sector, hence its name. The firm states that it constantly reviews the market to maintain competitive prices and presents itself as a budget printing option without compromising on quality.
