How to Customize Large to Small Scale Print Products

Follow these steps to create the custom printing product you need for every kind of promotion: 

 

Order an offset printing or sign product. 

  • Offset printing is the technique used to transfer an inked image from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface. It ensures high-quality output for large quantities. It is the method used for bulk printing orders such as brochures, flyers, posters, postcards, and business cards. 
  • Sign printing is for larger format displays such as banners, window clings, yard signs, plastic signs, flags, and magnets. The sign you print will depend on the material and the size.  

 

Combine width and length specs that will garner attention at a glanceWidths start from 2” up to 26”. Heights also go from 2” to as tall as 18”. If you want to see how the final design will appear before it’s printed, select “Wait – I want to receive and approve a free PDF proof” after uploading your file. 

 

You can also use our online design tool to load a blank canvas in the size selected. 

 

Print on sturdy paper or cardstock to showcase the reliability or luxury of your brand. Promoting a new product line or a store opening to a bigger audience? Let customers feel they can trust your company with thick paper or cardstock. Coat paper with elegant matte or gloss finishes highlighting the premium quality of your items. Below are the sturdiest options available for paper and cardstock: 

  • 80 lb. paper has a similar feel to a magazine cover. It’s slightly thicker than standard paper and comes in gloss or matte coating to protect the surface. 
  • 100 lb. paper is a little thicker than most magazine covers but a little thinner than cardstock. Recommended for brochures, flyers, and other promotions customers can keep on hand.  
  • 14 pt. cardstock is the standard material used for business cards. It can withstand multiple handling and comes in coatings that protect it from fingerprints 
  • 16 pt. cardstock is slightly thicker than the 14 pt. Recommended for business cards or other promotional tools handed out to VIP clients. It gives them the impression you value their business, while also putting your best “face” forward in introducing yourself. 
  • 17 pt. cardstock is the most rigid cardstock available and comes in an uncoated, writable surface. It has the most upscale vibe and the elegant texture gives it that extra high-end feel.  

 

Print a set of cut-to-size stickers or labels to display indoors. Need a set of individual labels to quickly apply on your products? Order 70 lb. label in matte, gloss, or high-gloss UV so that your item and company name are easy to read from a glance.  

 

Signs come in the following materials, depending on how they’re displayed: 

  • For paper signs: semi or high gloss that suit temporary displays in frames or inside the store. 
  • Vinyl in standard 13 oz., 15 oz, or 9 oz. mesh that lasts outdoors. The mesh is built to withstand wind, while the 13 and 15 oz. last years on display outside. 
  • Static cling or perforated adhesive vinyl for window clings. The removable structure makes it perfect for temporary signs and for reapplying in other areas. 
  • Magnetic stock for placing on your car while it’s making deliveries. 
  • Canvas for high-resolution photos or artwork displays. 
  • Adhesive fabric for displays on walls and other interiors.

  • Folds that range from 2-, 3-, to 4-panel folds. Note that certain folds like an accordion, double gate and parallel, and the roll fold only come scored or show the markers for folding 
  • Perforation to set apart a special discount or coupon customers can use on their next purchase. It also works for correspondences on return forms. 
  • Rounded corners to make the corners of your postcard or business card sleeker. 
  • Hole drilling in 1/8”, 3/16”, and ¼” diameters if you need to bind the information with rings. You can also add them to hang tags or anything that will be displayed similarly.

UPrinting is the best!
Verified buyer
November 19, 2022 by Sagnik Bakshi ( TX )
“I absolutely loved the quality of work that UPrinting has produced. Right from the online shopping and ordering experience, to shipping and delivery, they're the best! This is the third time I used them over the past few months - the first two were for banner printing, and the third one for folded cards, and I am definitely going to use their service many times more going forward! Thank you UPrinting!”

“Easy and fast”
Wedding invites
September 30, 2022 by Erica W ( TX )
“I'm so glad I came across Uprinting when trying to find a place to print my wedding invites, programs, RSVP cards, and invite inserts!! The turnaround time from sending them over, approval, and shipping was so quick!! The price was also half of what I would've paid if I went to other online companies. Prior to receiving everything, I had noticed that there was a typo on my programs. I called the company right away in the morning and the staff member that answered the call was fast and efficient! They hadn't started the printing yet, so the proof was sent back to me to update. Even with the error on my end, it didn't hold up production on my other items. All items were well packaged and beautiful once I opened them!! I've passed on this print shop to other friends and family that are needing prints completed.”

Q:
Can I supply an 8.5 x 11 pdf file that includes 2 5x7 pieces of artwork (1 in each half ) with crop marks and bleeds, will you print and ship as is for me to cut by hand?
Asked 3 months ago by Karen D.
A:

That is possible. However, you will need to coordinate with us upon submission of the artwork and then request for a free proof. The trim lines and bleed marks will be considered upon proofing and will most likely be alerted for call back to the client since its position will differ from your order size.The free proof will allow you to be sure of what the printed output will look like before it goes to production. 

Q:
Can you cut 3/4 round corner?
Asked 3 months ago by Edin S.
A:

Yes we may. However, depending on the product the cost of doing so could vary as we may need to create a die as the standard radius of our rounded corners is only  1/4" for our business cards (the leaf cut would have a radius of 7/8"). For the large format products it would be easier as you just need to select custom shape and we will follow whatever trim line you indicate on your submitted artwork.

Q:
Is it possible to print a quantity other than the choices in your menu? We need 750 for one thing, and 1500 for another.
Asked 3 months ago by CS
A:

Yes, that is possible. Please create an account and give us a call to speak to a Custom Representative.Since this would be a non-standard quantity, they would need to send you a quote so that once converted, it will be set up properly for production. . 

Q:
Is it possible to print a full-color unusually sized double-sided banner on laminated paper or vinyl? 2' x 10' or 2' x 15'?
Asked 4 months ago by David C.
A:

Please check our Vinyl Banners which can be printed on both sides. We also have a PVC board material under our Poster Signs but the maximum width or height would only be 8 feet. You would need to call us to get that customized as it is not listed on the website as a standard size.

Q:
do you print with a plastic surface that can be used for dry-erase? Our need is to replace a map (we have the digital image) that can be drawn on with a dry-erase marker.
Asked 4 months ago by mark
A:

We do have a few standard options with dry erase lamination.  Please check the various products under our Dry Erase Whiteboard.  We also have Plastic Signs which could be laminated for writing on, however, this would need to be processed through our Custom Department.
