Common questions CPT customers ask before ordering flyers.
For A5 flyers on 135gsm gloss, double-sided full colour, expect roughly R460–R1,250 for 500, R670–R1,850 for 1,000, and R1,250–R3,100 for 2,500. Heavier stocks like 170gsm silk or 250gsm card add 20–40%. Recycled and uncoated stocks (popular in CPT) cost a touch more again. Above about 1,000 flyers, litho printing becomes more economical than digital and per-unit costs drop.
City Bowl and Sea Point have the densest concentration of digital printers offering same-day turnaround on standard stocks. Woodstock and Salt River suppliers tend to focus on design-led work — slower but better finishes. Epping, Maitland and Montague Gardens handle larger litho runs. For most A5 promotional flyers under 500 units, City Bowl is fastest. Above 1,000 units, Epping or Montague Gardens usually quotes better pricing.
Yes. Cape Town has more recycled stock options than most SA cities, partly because the design and tourism sectors push for them. Common eco options include 100% recycled uncoated stocks in 250–300gsm, FSC-certified papers, and soy-based inks at some specialist printers. Recycled stocks usually cost 10–25% more than equivalent virgin paper. Mention 'recycled' or 'eco' in your brief and we'll match suppliers who stock these.
Standard digital print turnaround is 2–4 working days. Same-day printing is available from several City Bowl and Sea Point suppliers, usually with collection rather than delivery, and typically only for standard stocks. Litho print (for larger volumes) takes 4–7 working days because of plate setup. Boutique design-led suppliers in Woodstock generally take 5–7 working days even for small runs because finishing is more careful.
Most CPT printers offer design as a separate service, typically R350–R1,500 depending on complexity. If you have a designer already, supply a print-ready PDF (CMYK colour mode, 3mm bleed, fonts outlined). If you don't, many suppliers in Woodstock and Observatory work with regular freelance designers and can quote design and print as a package. Worth asking for both options when you compare quotes.
