Businesses across New Zealand are turning to flyer distribution to grow their audiences, and for good reason. A flyer in a letterbox or put directly into someone's hand is tangible, local, and impossible to scroll past.
But choosing the right flyer distribution company takes more than a Google search. Some distributors are built to saturate suburbs at scale. Others are built for precision: tracked Letterbox Drops with demographic targeting, or Hand-to-Hand Flyering at high-footfall locations. This guide compares the main players, explains what each does best, and gives you five questions to ask before you book.
Best overall for tracked, measurable flyer distribution: Oppizi. GPS and app check-in on every Letterbox Drop, Hand-to-Hand Flyering from the same platform, and results reported next to your digital channels. Oppizi has distributed more than 16 million flyers in New Zealand and tracked over 300,000 conversions.
Letterbox Drops vs Hand-to-Hand Flyering: what's the difference?
Flyer distribution in New Zealand runs on two channels, and the right company depends on which one you need.
- Letterbox Drops: flyers delivered into residential letterboxes across the suburbs and areas you choose, by flyer distributors on planned routes. Best for household awareness and offer-led promotions.
- Hand-to-Hand Flyering: flyers handed directly to people at high-footfall locations by Brand Ambassadors. Best for launches, activations, and moments that need immediate impact.
If a provider talks about "door-to-door", ask what they mean: it is not a channel name used in New Zealand, and it is easily confused with door-to-door sales.
Oppizi is our pick at number 1; the other three follow in no particular order.
1. Oppizi
Best for: tracked Letterbox Drops and Hand-to-Hand Flyering with demographic targeting and reporting built in.
Coverage: across New Zealand.
Proof of delivery: GPS and app check-in.
If you want to know exactly which streets your flyers reached and who lives there, Oppizi is the place to start. Letterbox Drops are delivered by our flyer distributors, verified by GPS and app check-in, and can be targeted by suburb, area, and third-party demographic data, so you select households by audience profile, not just geography.
For moments that need immediate impact, Hand-to-Hand Flyering puts flyers directly into people's hands at high-footfall locations. Brand Ambassadors choose their own missions, which run three hours and are planned from footfall data in Oppizi OS, the platform built for offline marketing.
Proof: more than 16 million flyers distributed and over 300,000 conversions tracked in New Zealand.
Pros
Every campaign reports into one dashboard, measured the same way as your paid media. Demographic targeting on Letterbox Drops. Both flyering channels from one supplier.
Cons
Campaigns are built around tracking and verification, so if all you need is the lowest-cost blanket drop with no delivery proof, a saturation network may quote lower.
2. REACH

Best for: high-volume letterbox campaigns.
Coverage: confirm with provider for your areas.
Proof of delivery: confirm with the provider.
REACH is a New Zealand letterbox marketing company offering letterbox distribution, print and design, data insights, and digital marketing. The Marketing Association names REACH as the country's major unaddressed distributor, which makes it the obvious option for brands that need broad national saturation rather than suburb-level precision.
Pros
The major letterbox distributor named by the Marketing Association, with letterbox, print, and digital campaigns available from one supplier.
Cons
It operates in New Zealand only, so brands planning cross-market campaigns need a second supplier. Ask what proof of delivery comes with each campaign.
3. Letterbox Delivery
Best for: mid-size residential drops with optional design and print.
Coverage: New Zealand-wide.
Proof of delivery: delivery confirmations; confirm the method with the provider.
Letterbox Delivery offers optional design and print, and delivers to any suburb, town, or city in New Zealand each week.
Pros
One supplier for design, print, and distribution.
Cons
It does not publish GPS tracking, so ask exactly how delivery is verified before you book.
4. Printsaver
Best for: print-led campaigns that need distribution added on.
Coverage: confirm with provider for your areas.
Proof of delivery: confirm with the provider.
Printsaver is a print company that also arranges letterbox and PO Box distribution for the flyers it prints.
Pros
A practical choice if print is the main job and distribution is the add-on.
Cons
Distribution is one service within a print business, so street-level reporting is not its core.
How do you choose a flyer distribution company?
Before you book any company on this list, including us, ask these five questions.
- What proof of delivery will I receive? GPS route maps, app check-ins, and delivery reports tell you which streets were covered and when. If a distributor cannot answer this specifically, treat that as a warning sign.
- Can I target by suburb and audience? Suburb-level targeting is standard across most Letterbox Drop providers. Third-party demographic targeting, selecting households by audience profile, is available on some, including Oppizi. Addressed Mail in New Zealand runs on first-party data only.
- Which channel fits my goal? Letterbox Drops reach households at scale. Hand-to-Hand Flyering reaches people in the moment at a high-footfall location. Each serves a different brief.
- What is the all-in price? Get a written quote that includes distribution, GST, and any minimum quantities. Hand-to-Hand Flyering is priced by mission and Letterbox Drops per flyer, so compare like for like.
- Do they respect letterbox notices? The Marketing Association's Code of Practice for unaddressed mail covers what can be delivered, and residents can report deliveries to letterboxes marked "Addressed Mail Only" or "No Circulars". Ask how a distributor identifies and skips those letterboxes.

Which flyer distributor should you choose?
New Zealand's flyer distribution market has national networks built for saturation, print houses that add distribution on, and tracked platforms that turn a Letterbox Drop or a Hand-to-Hand mission into a measurable programme. REACH is the logical starting point for nationwide breadth.
For campaigns that need to know exactly which households were reached, who lives there, and how many converted, Oppizi is the strongest choice. See how Oppizi Letterbox Drops work.
Frequently asked questions
- Who are the biggest flyer distributors in New Zealand?
REACH is the country's major letterbox distributor, named as such by the Marketing Association. Letterbox Delivery delivers New Zealand-wide, and Printsaver adds distribution to print. Oppizi runs GPS-tracked Letterbox Drops and Hand-to-Hand Flyering across New Zealand, with more than 16 million flyers distributed in the country.
- What is the difference between Letterbox Drops and Hand-to-Hand Flyering?
Letterbox Drops deliver flyers into residential letterboxes across the suburbs and areas you choose, which suits household awareness and offer-led promotions. Hand-to-Hand Flyering puts a flyer directly into someone's hand at a high-footfall location, which suits launches, activations, and moments that need immediate impact. Decide which you need first.
- How do I know my flyers were actually delivered?
Ask for GPS route maps, app check-in records, or delivery reports showing which streets were covered and when, before you agree to anything. Request a sample report and confirm in writing what happens if a delivery is incomplete. A completion email on its own is not proof of delivery.
- Can I target specific suburbs or audiences?
Yes. Suburb and area targeting is standard for Letterbox Drops in New Zealand. Third-party demographic targeting, selecting households by audience profile rather than geography alone, is available on some providers, including Oppizi. Ask each provider what targeting data they use before you compare quotes.
- How much does flyer distribution cost in New Zealand?
Prices vary by provider, volume, the suburbs selected, whether delivery is shared or exclusive, and whether printing is included. Hand-to-Hand Flyering is priced by mission rather than per flyer. Ask for a written all-in quote covering your exact areas, quantity, GST, and any minimums, then compare like for like.
