Church Bulletins and Service Programs, Printed and Folded
Flyover Print prints custom church bulletins in full color on both sides, so every panel can carry your welcome, order of service, announcements and next steps. Choose an 8.5" x 11" sheet that folds to a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet-style bulletin, or an 11" x 17" sheet that folds to 8.5" x 11" when you have more to say. 70# Uncoated Text and 100# Gloss Text arrive folded and ready to hand out. Order as few as 25 for a small gathering or up to 10,000 for Christmas Eve and Easter.
Which bulletin size should you choose?
| Flat size | Folded size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 8.5" x 11" | 5.5" x 8.5" (4 panels) | Weekly bulletins, order of service, announcements and connect information |
| 11" x 17" | 8.5" x 11" (4 larger panels) | Christmas Eve and Easter programs, song lyrics, sermon notes and special services |
Each bulletin has an outside (front cover and back cover) and an inside spread, printed in full color on both sides. Want a tear-off connect card or a separate insert? Pair your bulletins with our connect cards or church flyers.
Bulletins for every Sunday and every season
- Weekly Sunday bulletins: order of service, sermon title, announcements, giving and serve team information.
- Christmas Eve and Easter programs: service times, song lyrics, scripture readings and a warm welcome for first-time guests.
- Baptism, dedication and membership Sundays: celebrate the people and the moment with a keepsake program.
- Funerals and memorial services: a dignified order of service families can take home.
- Weddings, ordinations and anniversaries: programs for the special services in the life of your church.
- Conferences and events: schedules, speakers and session notes in one folded piece.
Choosing the right paper
| Paper | Feel | Arrives | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70# Uncoated Text (standard) | Smooth, non-glare paper that takes pen and pencil | Folded | Weekly bulletins and sermon notes people write on |
| 100# Gloss Text | Magazine-page weight with a bright, glossy finish | Folded | Photo-heavy covers and holiday programs |
| 80# Gloss Cover | A light cardstock, noticeably thicker and sturdier | Scored, flat | Keepsake programs for Christmas, Easter, weddings and memorials |
80# Gloss Cover is too heavy to machine fold cleanly, so we score it on the fold line and ship it flat. It folds by hand in seconds with a crisp, clean edge. See our Paper Stock Guide for more detail.

Frequently asked questions
Do churches still print bulletins?
Yes. Even churches with an app or a screen hand out printed bulletins, because guests and longtime members alike like having the order of service, announcements and next steps in their hands. A printed bulletin also goes home on the refrigerator, which a slide never does.
What sizes do your bulletins come in?
Two sizes. An 8.5" x 11" sheet folds in half to 5.5" x 8.5", the classic weekly bulletin. An 11" x 17" sheet folds in half to 8.5" x 11", which gives you four full letter-size panels for holiday programs, song lyrics and sermon notes.
Do the bulletins come folded?
70# Uncoated Text and 100# Gloss Text bulletins are machine folded and arrive ready to hand out. 80# Gloss Cover is a light cardstock, so we score it on the fold line and ship it flat. It folds by hand in seconds with a clean edge.
Which paper is best for a weekly bulletin?
70# Uncoated Text is our standard paper and the most popular choice for weekly bulletins. It has a smooth, non-glare surface that takes pen and pencil, so people can take sermon notes. Choose 100# Gloss Text for photo-heavy covers, or 80# Gloss Cover for keepsake programs.
What program should we use to make our bulletin?
Use whatever your team already knows. Canva, Microsoft Word, Publisher, Adobe InDesign and Affinity all work. Export a print-ready PDF with two pages, the outside and the inside, at the full bleed size. Our Artwork Guidelines walk through the setup, including Canva tips.
How should we set up our bulletin file?
Build two pages at the full bleed size: 11.25" x 8.75" for an 8.5" x 11" bulletin, or 17.25" x 11.25" for an 11" x 17" bulletin. Page one is the outside, with the back cover on the left half and the front cover on the right half. Page two is the inside spread. Keep text at least 1/8" from the trim edge and away from the center fold, and use images at 350 dpi.
What font is best for a church bulletin?
Choose a clean, easy-to-read font at 10 to 12 point for body text, and go larger for service times, song lyrics and anything older members need to read quickly. Limit yourself to one or two font families so the bulletin feels calm and consistent.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum is 25 bulletins, and you can order up to 10,000. The price per bulletin goes down as the quantity goes up. Choose your size, paper and quantity in the calculator above to see your exact price.
Do you check our file?
Yes. You approve a free online proof at checkout, then a real person checks your file for size, resolution and print setup before it prints. We do not proofread your text, so please check names, dates, times and scripture references on your proof.
How fast can we get them?
Choose 5-business-day, 3-business-day or next-business-day production when you order. Production time does not include shipping, so for a Sunday service or holiday, add UPS transit time and leave a little cushion. You can also pick up at our Highland, Indiana shop Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Up against a deadline? Email info@flyoverprint.com and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is charged at UPS rates, and UPS Ground is free on orders of $49 or more anywhere in the U.S. Need it sooner? 2nd Day Air and Next Day Air upgrades are available. Local pickup at our Highland, Indiana shop is always free.
