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.

Quality is decent...
September 25, 2021 by Small and Sweet Bake
“Quality is decent and the custom printing program is very user friendly. Wished that the eta for delivery is more accurate. It always seem to be predicted to arrive MUCH later than it actually does. Shipping cost is also very steep and it doesn’t appear to be more economical even when you add additional items.”

I won't blame...
February 25, 2021 by Peggy3D
“I won't blame Uprinting for the ordering mistake I made. For some reason I got off track and ordered unmounted instead of mounted prints. Anyway, I got it done locally. But the prints are amazing and we are thankful for their speed and beautiful results. Will try them again, but will probably get online help when ordering.”

Q:
I have a family tree that I want to get printed. Size is approximately 110 inches by 18 inches. Can you print this?
Asked 4 months ago by Russ
A:

We can print this but the material would be for large format postervinyl banner or maybe even a wall decal.  You may also want to go with a sturdier material that can be mounted to a wall. Depending on the material you choose, it could be a Custom Job so it would be best to give us a call and speak to a Product Specialist and explain where you intend to display or mount this. 

Q:
If creating a gate fold wedding invitation, should you use 10pt or 14pt stock paper?
Asked 4 months ago by Vinata K.
A:

For formal occaisions it would be best to go with a thicker stock like a 14 or 16 Pt material.

Q:
I've designed 52 , 3.5x5" activity cards where each card has a different design (front and back). Is that something you can print? If so, how much would the cost be for 1000 cards with a matt finish and rounded corners?
Asked 4 months ago by Lorna
A:

Unfortunately, we would need to quote you for 52 designs which at the configuration you need would have a printing cost of $104 per design.

Q:

Q:
I am having award plaques being made that requires a photo print inserted 4.25" x 2.5. I have two different photos and would like to compare which looks best before ordering for the whole project which will be 125 prints. Can you help with this?
Asked 5 months ago by Debbie C.
A:

We cannot send you an actual print out. What we could do is send you a digital proof of each of the photos and you can save these and compare them, albeit on a computer screen. You can set up an order, ask for a proof, and when you receive it, you may save it on your end. Then you can disapprove the proof and replace it with the other photo and wait for the new proof. When you receive the second proof, you can compare it with the first and decide which you will go with. It is important to note that, the photo or file you send should be  the same as the order size and the resolution should be 250-300 DPI for optimal printing.
