The Letter flyer
A Letter flyer is one flat sheet, 8.5 × 11 in — the standard American page, and the default size for anything printed and handed out.

It's the sheet every printer, copier and paper tray in the US is already set up for, so it's the cheapest thing to produce in any quantity and the easiest to run off in-house. That's what it carries: price lists, class handouts, event programs, real estate listings, menus, the notice taped inside a shop window. It's also the sheet letters and forms come on, so a flyer starts out looking like paperwork unless the design says otherwise early — an image running off the edges, type at a size no document would use, a colour an office printer couldn't produce.
The proportions are worth watching if you work in both systems. Letter is noticeably wider and shorter than A4, so artwork moved across doesn't just scale — two columns come out broader than you drew them and a layout that felt tall in your head lands wide on the page. Nothing dramatic, but margins are where you'll notice it first, and it's the reason a design ported straight from A4 usually needs refitting rather than resizing.
In the sets: held, pinned to a board, stacked, scattered and shot straight down, so you can present the flyer clean or sit it in a real scene. Each is a layered PSD with smart objects — the artwork sits on its own layer, so replacing it leaves the lighting and shadow untouched.
