Design Your Own Newspaper in the UK – Frequently Asked Questions
When will my newspaper be produced and delivered?
Your newspapers are usually produced and dispatched within around 6–8 working days after we receive your order, with fast delivery across the UK.
How many pages can my newspaper have?
Whether you’re creating a slim issue or a more substantial edition, you can design your paper with 4 to 40 pages. The total page count must be divisible by 4. During production, the sheets are folded and placed inside each other without binding, so the inner sections can be removed – just like a traditional newspaper.
What’s the best software for creating a newspaper?
We offer a flexible creation service, so you can work the way you like. Use our in-house online editor, customise one of our templates in the popular Canva platform, or download our press-ready InDesign file. Access to all templates is completely free of charge. Feel free to try each option and choose the one that works best for your project.
How do I choose the right paper for my newspaper?
Paper choice has a big impact on the style and character of your publication. Choose between lightweight, classic newspaper paper or bright white, longer-lasting stock. We offer an excellent selection of authentic stock, from 49 gsm to 90 gsm. As a general rule: the lighter the paper, the more it feels like a traditional newspaper.
What should I know about using photos?
For best results on traditional newspaper stock, we recommend a minimum resolution of 145 dpi. Think of it as guidance rather than a rule – we regularly produce newspapers with lower-resolution images, and they still come out looking great. Our advanced press technology always gets the best possible quality from your photos and colours.
What size and format will my newspaper be?
Small runs are produced in a single size: 280 × 400 mm. This is roughly equivalent to an A3 page. If you’re looking for other formats, we suggest our affordable magazine service, which offers high-quality production in standard A4 and A5 sizes.
How do I order a small-run newspaper?
Whether you’ve created it in Canva, InDesign or another programme, simply send us the PDF file and we’ll take care of the rest. You can place your order and upload your PDF here: PDF Upload.
How much will my newspaper cost?
The price depends on the quantity, page count and paper choice. Because producing a single copy is relatively costly, it’s more economical to order multiple copies. The more you order, the lower the cost per copy. For example, you can get 50 newspapers with 8 pages on 60 gsm paper for under €100 (net). Full pricing details are here: Small-run pricing.
How can I pay for my personalised newspaper?
Payment is simple: use PayPal or your credit card.
Create Your Newspaper Step by Step – here’s how
➀ Pick a design that fits the occasion. Once you’ve chosen the style you like, decide how you’d like to work – in our Smartpaper24 online editor, in Canva, or with our free InDesign template.
➁ Add your own touch – write the headlines, drop in your articles, place your photos. No matter which tool you’re using, you can slot your text and images straight into the ready-made layouts.
➂ Rework the layout until it feels right. Move things around, resize images, and arrange the page exactly as you want it. This is where your unique design takes shape.
➃ Give it a final check. Read every page carefully and make sure there are no typos, broken layouts or misplaced images before submitting your file.
➄ When you’re ready, we can produce your paper from just a single copy. Order directly through the editor, or upload your PDF here: Print your PDF as a newspaper. Our system automatically checks your file – then your finished newspaper is delivered to your door in around five working days – anywhere in the UK.
Easy Newspaper Design Templates for UK Customers
Our ready-to-use templates make newspaper creation refreshingly easy. Pick from a variety of themes and layouts perfect for anything from personal celebrations to community stories.

Design Like an Editor – more than just a template tool
Some tools let you swap out a picture or headline – and that’s about it. We give you full editorial control. With our easy-to-use tools and layouts, you can style every page exactly how you want, no advanced skills needed. Play with fonts, adjust columns, and build photo collages that pop. You have complete creative freedom to produce something truly original – and when your newspaper arrives, it looks every bit as impressive as it did on screen.
